We built places.
They built platforms.
People became users.
Users became data.
Data became profit.
Speech became content.
Interchangeable grains
in TheirSpace,
sorted by rules we cannot see,
by people we will never meet.
Invisible rules from invisible rulers.
Connection is no longer the goal.
Extraction is.

Uhm. I aimed to store some notes via a DM to myself.. seems I should be better at audience selection... edit, more: Thoughts while toddler and I were at IKEA. As "going out with toddler" is not exactly a "let's open a proper text editor" environment I usually just send myself a stream of ever more finetuned messages. The previous message happened as I made the switch from email to Mastodon and is from a version I'm fairly happy with. Just a bit too bleak. And it needs more framing
