:0 apparently looks like Facebook has a trail leading to a potential purchase
How do we get people to abandon these platforms? Like what’s the first step to planting the seed because we’re legit on the path of 3 corporations owning everything tech. Already lost that battle once with food conglomerates
Such a helpless feeling because tech bros have infected all aspects of our lives, they keep infecting our lives to even further extents and only annoying mfs like me seem to be care. Legit had a conversation with a friend today who did the whole “don’t bully people we’re all just trying to get by and enjoy some fun”
Don't think it's a problem that gets fixed until there is a DoTP. Don't think it's an essential tool for getting there either.
People react to the tangible benefits over ideas. We can say religion is the opiate of the masses, but it's the institution that dominates mutual aid, addiction services, bereavement and prisons. Finding people at their most desperate and rewiring their brains with hopeful experiences that lead to fanatical devotion.
Tech companies can only come so close with their multi-billion dollar algorithms. FOSS and decentralised efforts have entirely missed the mark by assuming that the lack of this sophistication is "a feature, not a bug". This doesn't appeal to most people. They want that dopamine fix from the algorithm. They want simple, intuitive tech, and TikTok reinvented the TV for them in a way Western tech pathetically couldn't replicate, so they had to buy them out.
Let it happen. The "seed" is the social infrastructure we must build to deal with more important things like food, medicine and housing.

How do you free a slave that willingly locks their own shackles?
