Wrote a thing on my micro.blog blog about why I think micro.blog isn't the big alternative to other closed source networks like Twitter that it wants to be, in case you're interested https://micro.joshsharp.com.au/2018/09/22/12/
(Mastodon is better.)

But micro.blog's goal (and the goal of the larger IndieWeb) is that the community is the whole internet, so everyone becomes the owner of their own community by the choice of who they interact with online. Sure a particular piece of software should have a good governance model, but communities and software should not be linked one-to-one.

  @aaronpk I think that's a fair answer if you buy that owning the content makes the community "the whole internet", but it's not. There's an awkward split between the blog content itself and the community of users interacting on micro blog. The latter will always exist separately to individual blogs and thus needs to give users (some level of) control.
