@design_RG I agree but this misses the fact that #BigTech owns a monopoly, and they can effectively remove your internet free speech (as we saw with #AlexJones).
If things were less monopolized, I'd agree.
@realcaseyrollins
Yes, we had a bot bringing his Twitter posts to marmot.fr -- and Cory personally responded to one of our mentions of his name here, clarifying he is no longer with Boing-Boing.
But Pluralistic, as an independant publisher.
I can really relate to that as I am considering distancing myself from some situations as well.
@realcaseyrollins That would be just one of the forms of power at play.
Could mention others :
* The Masters of the Universe (as they call themselves, no kidding) at Wall St.
* Lobbies for large corporations and external State agents.
* Health care industry shrills.
& the corrupt mostly representatives at the federal seat of power.
Huge issues, and any solutions will come with friction and worse.
@design_RG But yeah Doctorow is a cool guy. I loved his series on Marcus Yallow.
Did you know he has a #Fediverse account, too? @doctorow @pluralistic
