I hesitate to add to the atmosphere of dread, but Meta's increasingly unfettered acceleration of the kinds of messages that precede genocides is so alarming.
And—how to say this… Avoiding Meta platforms doesn't confer a get-out-of-atrocities-free card. This is why I'm so focused on the need to build broadly appealing, maximally accessible alternative platforms.
I understand, "It's good if the fediverse stays niche," but that's a solution for a tiny number of people.
@kissane I am perplexed by anyone who would think that the fediverse staying niche is a good idea.
they don't want "the normies"
they fear an #eternalseptember
thing is, since this is federation, anyone worried about that can keep their niche communities separate and never encounter "the normies"
and, like erin said, we want "the normies" here
otherwise they get mindwiped by plutocrat agendas on centralized #socialmedia
to do that we have to make the process of getting into the #fediverse dead simple
dead. simple.
even picking a server is a step too high for many
@benroyce @themizzi @kissane seriously, if it isn't as easy as plugging a box into a wall and connecting it to a display, it just won't make the dent necessary for humanity as a whole to escape the autocratic clutches. Start with the home units first. Package it with a fun remote with some snappy hot keys, scroll, point and mini keyboard. Label it as some kind of retro throwback device, to not have to get into all the surveillance details of mobile gadgetry. That can come later. They wouldn't require much energy, wouldn't need a moderation team or a crap ton of storage since they wouldn't be housing all the people "centralizing" on a single server. Your house, your rules. Invite some friends over and have some fun!
