@emsenn@kolektiva.social That's no small ask, but I get why you ask it, because it needs to be. I don't know that I can offer specific solutions, but what I can offer is a framework that can help lead to this kind of change. Among other things, the Techne System teaches skills to help answer the questions you are asking. In particular, you would likely be interested in the Level 3 topics of Social Change Strategies, and Systemic/Institutional Change. It's all free and open so you can investigate it at your convenience and see if it might be of any worth to you. https://techne-system.neocities.org

@murdoc@autistics.life I don't want to seem dismissive of this reply, I really do appreciate it. But I don't think it's a skill issue on my part. I say this not to brag but because if I don't there's no way people would know, and someone said that I should stop being so humble about this stuff: I directed a group whose research was cited by the US Congress, on topics of Internet communication and social change and such... back in 2009. I don't think I'm experiencing a skill issue, with regards to a lack of understanding of how to operate tech, or imagine new formations of it that would operate in culturally meaningfully different ways, as I have already done that, repeatedly, in multiple countries, across multiple decades. I think the issue has much more to do with things like culture, racism, white supremacy, and governance, than the technologies itself.
