I'm all in on expanding / facilitating Mastodon or Bluesky or whatever platform to try to (re)create a public commons for discussion and news about local topics (a la twitter of City Council meetings of yore, ). That commons is such an important platform that I can't stand the thought of it being controlled by a for-profit organization again.

I'm also super interested in promoting replacements to Slack and Discord (and WhatsApp, etc) for much the same reason. Ditto for Q&A forums (reddit, stack overflow).

Regarding:

Some people consider Matrix to be that.

Indeed! The latest updates to the app for sliding sync make it much more viable for general adoption. But how to get people to switch?
