It's becoming clearer that the ActivityPub protocol might be the long term future of social media, with even the incumbents either starting to support it or making noises to that effect.

But whatever shenanigans may occur Epicyon has been designed with the assumption that the wider network is hostile and it should be able to continue regardless. More small instances rather than giant monoliths are the way to go.
