I just watched the most brilliant TED Talk by Carole Cadwalladr "This is what a digital coup looks like"
🔗: https://www.ted.com/talks/carole_cadwalladr_this_is_what_a_digital_coup_looks_like
It's filled with memorable, superb quotes about the broligarchy. A must see, to be shared widely.
But then I looked up Cadwalladr's online activity. She uses Bluesky for social and Substack for publishing. This is impossibly incongruous after her incendiary TED talk.
Honestly, it made me sad. One place is owned by crypto bros, the other is funded by A16Z...
I give here the OK and even some credit for trying Bluesky...
@_elena Ok as neutral / never heard of her...
I give here the OK and even some credit for trying Bluesky as it's not clear (Jack Dorsey was good endorsement and left).
You can imagine BS is much like the 'alternative' unheard of thing so just for someone to sign up to that and be on something called Substack is something... and even EVERYONE who knows 'just recently' seemed to find out about substack or whatever next #rugpull type business even good guys don't read #termsandconditions (again, weep)- so it's like catching up fast and it's still a big try and GOOD for anyone not a good to be trying these things and yes after all these years and new sites like #SubStack people realise eventually or need years to undo things again and move on...
(which is why jumping to the next thing today is alienist always about #TechBros people whichever way from beginning or getting bought out - THAT'S #BUSINESS)... DON'T COMPLAIN - JUST DON'T USE IT!... EDUCATE SELF / OTHERS AND MOVE ON!
Though I'd explain it, BADLY PERHAPS! BUT in short people even on #Mastodon went to BS so it's fairly similar in that way even if not in others not to diss others... else they end up not using / connecting to many people (even if that is the way to go!)
