More importantly, the fediverse can represent a viable alternative to what FANG wants to build.

The internet will be divided into walled, tracked, identity based, surveilled regions, and truly anonymous regions.

Without the fediverse a viable non-surveilled internet might not be able to exist.

Just looked up what FANG means - what the hell does Netflix in there? Seriously Netflix doesn't do shit. Typical case of forced acronyms ;)

I would agree. Mastodon made search opt-in. There will always be communities and users that refuse to be searchable and that should be fine.

FAANG originally meant the silicon valley giants. Netflix is obviously one of them, even tho it is falling behind now.

What is still distinguishing them from Disney, Amazon and the like is their international productions with local film makers. Lets see how that will turn out in the next years ...

Like a dark alleyway in a big city, I like it.

FAMG doesn’t have the same ring to it but i hate that Microsoft is missing.

Or we keep FANG for Nestle? Maybe not relevant but any opportunity to say Fuck nestle.
