@tarakiyee Excellent! Thanks for providing such a thoughtful critique + contextualisation. Literally the other day I went to look up the meaning of her quote and decided against using it in a specific context...

@tarakiyee this is a really interesting point and something I'd like to approach more thoughtfully when we talk about the Fediverse.

@tarakiyee shorthand is always tempting. But I have to say I do agree that it would feel utterly wrong to me to collaborate on Gdocs for a text about floss strategy. It would be like discussing zero carbon while sitting around a coalfire. And any and all big commercial tech platforms are by now surveillance platforms - using them in any way to plan for countermovement feels self-defeating indeed, like announcing to the powers you want to dismantle exactly what you're up to. And I don't think antitrust law or whatever is going to change anything about that. The best thing anyone and everyone can do is to not use any of their crap, whenever and whereever possible.

@tarakiyee That is very well written. I could follow the argument and it makes a lot of sense to me, without knowing much of the background. Thanks!

@tarakiyee I love how the text doesn't aim to tear down an imperfect argument, but add to and improve it! A discursive world with more principledness, but less tearing down would be nice 😃

@tarakiyee thanks for this post i saw already boosted here, it tells bare and perfectly what's about. when i first read the quote of Cory i was feeling exactly this, and was "woa".. thanks again.

@tarakiyee @tante might be interested in this as well.

@tarakiyee Sometimes I think Doctorow is leading the enshitification by example.
-
@dgold@goblin.technology 2026-03-29 09:43
@tarakiyee outstanding piece. I've always felt that Doctorow's 'enshittification' concept merely acts in service of bad actors in the tech sphere. He really is living proof of Lorde's statement.

@tarakiyee extremely good post that articulates something i've had trouble formulating throughout like a decade of hearing this quote "rebutted" in probably half a dozen completely distinct institutional/theoretical contexts

@tarakiyee This is great analysis. Thank you. Also, I had no idea tech bros were doing that with Lorde and that is so very irritating... Reading your essay reminded me of this article: "The Fungibility of Intersectionality: An Afropessimist Reading" by Silma Burge. It takes up a different term, but it highlights, similar to you, how a Black feminist theorist's term is flattened, stripped of context, and retooled.

@tarakiyee I am not well equipped to make a definitive judgment of it but I learned a lot and I'm thankful

@tarakiyee As someone who loves this quote, I'm very thankful to you for writing this and giving context to it.

@tarakiyee really great article. The point about invitation over rejection is so powerful in her work and decolonial feminism more broadly. I feel this cannot be stressed enough and often changes a room. Since you are citing Boaventura de Sousa Santos, i was wondering if you would mind to add a disclaimer about the harrassment charges against him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaventura_de_Sousa_Santos Also while his work really is well publicised there are also claims that he did not credit properly where he took his ideas from. An alternative reading might be found in this amazing collection: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL37689453M/Decolonial_Feminism_in_Abya_Yala
