If the centralized platforms disappeared, her job would just adapt to Mastadon or some other system. I think it’s the same with the average non-techie and the indie web. They’ll use what the “experts” tell them to use and repeat the actions to post their photos like rituals, regardless of whether it’s “accessible” or on their level.
