"The solution isn’t building better platforms — it’s making platforms an obsolete concept. Platforms concentrate power; protocols distribute it. Platforms extract value from users; protocols enable users to create value for themselves. Most importantly: platforms can be captured by bad actors, but protocols resist capture by design."

FediCon kicks off tomorrow in Vancouver 💫

And... our co-founder @michael is making the trip across the Atlantic to be there - that's over 7,460 km!

We wouldn't make these trips if we didn't believe in the Open Social Web and how it can be used to better the world.

In particular, Michael is looking forward to meeting all the amazing faces we speak to regularly online in person.

If you're there, say hello!
