Content versus conversation. Cory Doctorow said, "Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about." I agree!

> We’re not making a world without greed, Jacob. We’re making a world where greed is a perversion. Where grabbing everything for yourself instead of sharing is like smearing yourself with shit: gross. Wrong.
> Our winning doesn’t mean you don’t get to be greedy. It means people will be ashamed for you, will pity you and want to distance themselves from you. You can be as greedy as you want, but no one will admire you for it.

"‘Enshittification’ reaches social media: ‘For Zuckerberg and Musk, your ‘friends’ are a burden. They just want you to see ads’

EL PAÍS talked to Cory Doctorow, who coined the popular term. With Big Tech taking over the internet, the positive atmosphere and user-friendly features of social media platforms – which previously allowed us to connect with friends – are disappearing"

ich benutze #kagi seit/weil #corydoctorow es einmal überschwänglich lobte. aber das war vor dem KI/AI boom, denn jetzt zeigen google & co effektivere und KI gefilterte ergebnisse plus die möglichkeit diese nocheinmal durch KI fragestellungen zu verfeinern.

sprich: KI = die neue suchmaschine.

interessant bei Kagi ist allerdings dass sie dich (angeblich) nich tracken und verwerten. dafür bezahlt man ja, aber das wird wohl nicht lange gehen.

This audience is the perfect audience for Doctorow, one which picks up on and responds to his every little wink ... and his way of doing a panel discussion involves a lot of winking.

Cory Doctorow: “What’s the lesson here? It’s that anyone who says “If you’re not paying for the product, you’re the product” has been tricked. Facebook didn’t screw its users to benefit advertisers. Facebook screwed its users, its advertisers, and its publishers to benefit itself.”

#CoryDoctorow recently said that political developments in the US may lead to #FOSS licenses becoming legally unenforceable
(https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/16/technopoly/)

But, I think #FDroid is already more relying on informal social contracts and platform effects than the legal system. There could be a chance that this model prevails, even if intellectual property rights become entirely unenforceable for the FOSS community.
