Great to see innovation, but it doesn't federate. Being open source alone doesn't bring users freedoms when it comes to social networks. Think of Signal for example, which is very locked down. Social networks/apps/etc. have their moat in their userbase, not the code. Not even tik tok with its famous recommendation algorithm. Reddit used to be open source, now isn't. Forks couldn't take off because the users were/are on the main fork. If it doesn't federate, the network being open source right now helps little. It can be closed any day and users can't do anything about it because >90% don't care.
