So BBSes, then? :-) I'm willing to bet money that a network of BBSes appear amongst the geek community in the next 18 months or so... it's time. And more secure. ... instead of having a single organisation run the whole social network you have multiple groups of people running their own websites ...
Yeah I think that the Mastodon/GNUSocial has a few problems (no assurances from instance owners that your data will be handled securely, no builtin fediverse-wide way of identifying yourself, the way that instances interact is not well understood by non programmers, etc) that I think people will be exploring alternatives. It would be fun to learn about BBS systems, they're so before our time...
