Listen up Mastodonians, because this is important:
Right now we have a unique chance to rise up and hit back against Zuckerberg and Musk. Because italian filmmaker @_elena and her friends have made an OUTSTANDING short film, which explains why people should quit the fascist social networks and come join us in the fediverse.
Hit the fascists where it hurts — make this go viral by watching it and liking it on YouTube, then hit the share button and share it everywhere!
@randahl wait, so you’re telling me that we anti-algorithm folks should use algorithm magic to help spread non-algorithmhood?
My brain hurts
@Crovanian yes. Use the dark force against the dark side.
@randahl @Crovanian one observation, if it helps resolve this cognitive dissonance for y'all, is that isn't algorithms per se that you should be against. Instead, demand algorithms that you control and understand, rather than ones that make Facebook money.
