Wait what? You don't seem to realize the Cyberpunk dystopia we are living in? Yes it is amazing that we can order online! But having a company that is a near monopoly search and decides what is 'true' benefits by an otiose 15

Yes, I feel so much better after quitting reddit. Erased all my users after I cleaned out my comments. I don't engage so often in comments anymore except for the occasional HN comment I drop! Best move for my mental wellbeing recently.

This is the main excuse for companies when they get flak for their anti-consumer behaviour, that the comments on the internet don't matter. It is somehow rooted in emotions and/or irrational status seeking through imagined Interne

So we should be flat out denying the existence chattel slavery in some parts Africa and Asia still because it is not a part of the modern global economy? The essence of what I feel is wrong about the modern discussion around exploitation of

Chattel slavery still exists around the world, why aren't they the richer than the places where chattel slavery is outlawed? Where ever machines replaced human labor slavery has been outlawed and is richer than the places where labor i

Well he might be a post modernist in the literal sense but as the entry point to this discussion is about power structures on how they might have gotten it right. But what I see is people having things backwards with e.g. the corruption of

I see it once in a while comments out there on the internet(even here) flat out denying that companies have people employed that serve no purpose for the company. The reasoning goes like that economic incentive they would either never been

Part of the post is resignation to the fact that the culture shift is permanent. That is the whole connotation "Eternal September" you can't tell the new users how to "Mastodon" to protect the old culture.

The problem is that I read the author's blog post much more charitably than the comment I'm replying too. For me it is not overly sensitive. He used mastodon for other things than bring attention to themself, that is the currency

It is a quick comment by me that I didn't spend much effort on. So I'll rephrase it: Mastodon is not "Twitter" and a bunch of "Twitter users" showed up triggering a change in culture of Mastodon to be more like
