Proposal to call

#HighTech: technology that has proven itself to be ecological, useful, and (relatively) harmless; technology that has evolved and been simplified over time so that it is widely accessible, benign, indispensable. For example the bicycle, heat pumps, trains...

#LowTech: newly emerging technology that has not been proven to be ecological, useful, and benign, tech that is still volatile, possibly toxic, possibly just fake

Wouldn't that be nice?

good grief, all the fragile whiner newbies to the fedi, you have been *trained* to interact in a certain way on the extractivist social media platforms *by design*. bring that to your attention!

learn new ways. you'll feel better later.

or feel free to line your walls with asbestos because you're conditioned into thinking it's really good fireproofing
