I'm all for it. I think it was the initial vision for the internet and web, and we got sidetracked by growth and commercialization. I do have to wonder if such a move did happen, a sudden shift of mainstream to here (in general, the Activity Pub's various forms), could it handle it? Fast growth was a huge hit with the Reddit migration(s), and that was "just" Reddit.

I think what will happen is the big name corporate sites will collapse and the amount of online users will drop to just folks that have a use or passionate interest.
