Corporate social media broke the internet 😭

@taylorlorenz.bsky.social and @chaykak.bsky.social perfectly capture how algorithmic feeds and corporate surveillance have stifled the joy of casual posting. When every post is engineered for engagement, interactions feel performative, and platforms are designed to keep you endlessly scrolling, the internet loses its personal touch. Corporate social media has commodified connection, turned spontaneity into strategy, and reduced authenticity to performance.

 But there's a way out: FOSS and the Fediverse. By embracing open-source software and decentralized platforms, you're not just avoiding surveillance—you're reclaiming control. You dictate what happens to your data, curate your own feed, and shape your online experience.

Envision an internet where you can share a silly thought, a random photo, or a half-baked idea without worrying about it being algorithmically buried or monetized. That's the promise of the Fediverse. It's not a utopia, but it's a significant step forward.

They say it’s “on-device.”
They don’t say it slips quietly to the cloud when it feels like it.

Your assistant isn’t just listening — it’s learning.
Not for you.
About you.

📡 Surveillance wrapped in silk is still surveillance.

I am tired of living life. Exploitation is everywhere. I am a slave to Meta, X, YouTube, and Google; they have most of my data, but they haven't compensated me or provided me aid in return for my survival. I wish I could reclaim my personal boundaries online. Imagine creating content but not receiving anything in return. Only my family supports me emotionally and financially so far, but due to their own struggles, they are facing difficulties as well. People will react to or boost this post, but I will never receive genuine and sincere interactions. I am upset.

If a person wants to block all IP addresses related to #GAFAM and #CloucHore, that is, put in the #firewall all the #IPAdresses related to those companies at the #operatingSystem level...

...is there an easy way to find those addresses?

:wink:
