This article is pure trash. App.net costs money, which naturally means that the service exists so that rich white men can use their considerable means ($4/month) to avoid poor people. The fact that this author turns the App.net project into a negative race and class argument is, quite frankly, mind-numbing.
- tomjakubowski 14y agoThat's just it, App.net doesn't cost $4/month. They charge $50 upfront, and for most poor Americans that's a considerable difference. Ever wonder why cellular providers don't charge for 2 years of service upfront?
- _pius 14y agoWhile the article makes an argument with which you may disagree, I'd hardly call it "pure trash." It was significantly more thoughtful than your response, for example.
