This is a great read about the things that being in the https://indieweb.org/ (Independent Web) can empower you with, and the ownership and agency that it affords you.
I'd recommend a read of https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/ and https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ for a bit more info, too.

Welcome, Matt!
Thanks for blogging about your experiences, it's really great to see, especially because it was through me you've been interested in it!
I'd heavily recommend https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js/ by https://beesbuzz.biz/ as I currently use it on my site and love it because I don't need to rebuild my site to show new Webmentions, although it does mean that my viewers need client-side Javascript.
If you get a chance, come and talk to us on the IndieWeb chat (more details on https://indieweb.org/discuss )

The IndieWeb Movement: Owning Your Data and Being the Change You Want to See in the Web (22 mins read).
A look at what the IndieWeb is, why you should care, and how to get started with it.
This is a great article on why we can't just let Google Chrome / Chromium take over the Web, and need to fight for other alternatives.
But as well as looking at the browsers, we need to look to the platforms too. If everyone ie uses Twitter, then Twitter are less likely to make changes because no one has an alternative. Whereas when we have multiple viable options, folks can jump around and use better platforms if they exist.
The IndieWeb is looking to do this - check out https://indieweb.org/why for a bit more info
