@rasterweb@mastodon.social You had me at: "Twitter was accidentally purchased by a fascist high on ketamine," And then knocked me over at: " To thrive in capitalism one must be amoral. Now you can be wildly sickeningly successful with morals but you cannot reach that absolute zenith of shareholder value. Either you accept a lower share price and don’t commit atrocities or you become evil." 👏👏👏

@rasterweb@mastodon.social "Actual human beings were able to find each other and ask direct questions without this giant mountain of bullshit engagement piled on top of it." 👍

@rasterweb@mastodon.social Thank you for such a great article. I've just gave my first baby step towards deMeta, de Microsoft, deGoogle, deTox. Finding your text was a huge encouragement. I'm six days sober from WhatsApp now. It feel good, but I'm still proudly counting. Have an awesome day!!

@rasterweb@mastodon.social "there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. " " It's the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here." 🥰

@rasterweb@mastodon.social when I reached "We aren’t equipped to fuck with these people, they are the real deal." I had no choice but boost this. And cheers to Fedi! :fediverse:

@rasterweb@mastodon.social Couldn’t agree more. It’s great to have conversations with people. Funny enough that was what early twitter was about: Discussions in public.

@rasterweb@mastodon.social Good essay and agree with most of your points. Curious if Mastodon is your first point of call for the News you seek, or “only” or “mostly?” Have you posted this essay elsewhere? Or would that be pointless?
