‘We Have a Chance to Do Something Different’ ⇥ readtpa.com
Look, I get it. We’ve all grown cynical about promises to “fix” social media. But this could be different. It’s not about creating a utopian new platform; it’s about building the infrastructure to ensure that no matter what platform you choose to use, it can’t be captured by billionaire interests.
Well said. I think it is important to be skeptical of efforts like Bluesky and Free Our Feeds — and I am. But we should avoid being so cynical when there are, at long last, exciting social media developments which do not benefit billionaires. Hope is not naïveté. Let us keep making things better, if not perfect.
