It is big tech. It’s just less big tech than Xitter and Facebook. And it at least kinda-sorta has some vague federation-like design. And it’s a “public benefit corporation”, which doesn’t mean much because it’s still for-profit, but it at least means they’re allowed to not put profit ahead of public good, unlike normal for-profit companies. Not as good as Mastodon by far, with its true federation and true not-for-profit status in the guiding entity, but it’s not nothing.
