I would like a world where the people producing the technology and the people using the technology feel like they’re on the same team. It seems like today the point of big tech is to abuse people just enough that tech can squeeze maximum value out of them without them quitting. But then there are platforms like mastodon, which obviously have their problems but what they do have going for them is that the point of the system is to make the tech useful, not to abuse people. It seems to me the difference between the two is profit motive. I still long for a world where no one has to work for survival. Where food, shelter, clothing, computing, transportation, medical care, and communication are all provided for free through collective ownership in a highly automated economy. In this world, more people could volunteer for things like mastodon, and fewer people would feel the need to work for places that abuse the users.
