@Offbeatmammal@mastodon.social @luca@sironi.tk @Gargron@mastodon.social what got us into this mess is centralized social media decentralized social media that is a serious player on the world's stage is the solution however, you are correct that supporting a platform (or rather, this is a protocol) might not mean much. because 1. we are too tiny to matter now 1. if we ever could grow as big as we needed to be to matter, it might be too late worth a try though but we need to get very serious about it, very quick

@benroyce@mastodon.social Centralized social media was perhaps the last straw, but there were many other straws. Respectfully, I suggest we should not look for single causes, nor singular solutions, when dealing with something as complex as human society and culture. If we ever needed a comprehensive understanding of the myriad factors—and their interactions—which generate conflict, and drive destruction of the environment, we need it now. @Offbeatmammal@mastodon.social @luca@sironi.tk @Gargron@mastodon.social

@benroyce@mastodon.social @Offbeatmammal@mastodon.social @luca@sironi.tk @Gargron@mastodon.social I would add it’s social media that’s optimised for seeking attention, combined with the ad-driven business model that got us into this mess for real. ”Show me the incentives and I will show you the results.” -Charlie Munger Dishonesty about the business model’s inescapable results. Ignoring the academia, who were giving the warning signs since 2014. 1990’s legislation for 2020’s technology.
