Mainstream? Not a chance. Many people know Twitter and Facebook, but they don’t know what Lemmy or Reddit is, for example, and therefore don’t use it.
And it usually doesn’t matter if solution A is better than solution B. What becomes mainstream and what doesn’t usually depends on other things.
But one thing we don’t have is a true FOSS web, a protocol like HTTP that only allows FOSS websites to be hosted and bars any corporate interest from hosting for profit.
Would something like that be possible?
Possible? Maybe. Meaningful? Not in my opinion.
One principle of free software is that everyone can use it. Also for commercial things. Or for example to control missiles that kill people.
In addition, many companies contribute to the development. Without them, Linux, for example, would not be as developed as it currently is. Whether you like it or not, we need companies. Excluding them would therefore be a mistake.
FOSS is all about giving some things for free, and thats it.
I would disagree with that. Free as in freedom, not as in free beer. The GPL as an example even encourages to charge as much as you want or can for the software.
You can follow the submissions via an RSS feed.
For example, if you use the link
Https://lemm.ee/feeds/u/Corr.xml?sort=New, all your previous posts will be displayed.Instead of lemm.ee you need to specify the instance where the user in question is registered. And instead of
Corryou have to enter the username. For examplehttps://discuss.tchncs.de/feeds/u/fryboyter.xml?sort=New. That would be in this case my contributions.
