Exactly. And may I add to your point the privatization of public communication by social media ( especially Instagram ). It's becoming very hard to find information about your city public action without an account on Instagram; now to be a citizen is required to have an "social media id".

Also, business are becoming hostages of Instagram: their only way to communicate with the customers is through this mediation. I think is very very important to platforms like pixelfed to become more popular and indeed brake these people free.
