@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io I wonder whether it will actually lead to us getting more analog in the end. Basically reverting to what it’s been like before computers became mainstream. Cause if you piss off your consumer base little too much they can decide to ditch your whole set of artificial limits all together. I see many people doing just that with social media now, we cut heavily on our use, select things like Mastodon instead of the Meta, resorting to books for entertainment etc.

@architektdiewelt@mastodon.social @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io my growing numbers of homeless friends have wire snips and contractor bags full of zebra mussels. oh, and one more thing: they have nothing left to lose.

>> ditch...all together I hope this will happen, and personally plan for it, too. Once the total surveillance will come, that is currently masked as "age verification", I think I'll just stop using >95% of the online world. Will I shed some tears ? Maybe yes, but on the other hand it will be so much fun to build local networks again, and to open up new spaces which are not controlled by this unholy government/bigtech melange. Kind of like the 90s. @architektdiewelt@mastodon.social @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io
