It's fascinating to hear people still making this kind of media structure argument, which it's now trendy to dismiss as digital utopianism. But a lot of this cynicism is motivated by the experience of corporate platforms. It took me a long time to understand that The Algorithms make FB et al a special case of mass media, not a true example of the many-to-many social media native to the net. To borrow Bruce Sterling's term, #TheStacks.

Bruce Sterling on Why It Stopped Making Sense to Talk About 'The Internet' in 2012

Five simple reasons: Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft.

There is both a risk and an opportunity in the current political sabre-rattling against "social media" in multiple countries. The #DataFarms will attempt to capture any new regulation and twist it into anti-competitive forms that disproportionately target smaller players, and even non-commercial ones like most #fediverse instances (eg #Article13). But if we can educate politicians enough, they might begin dismantling the datafarming revenue model that gives #TheStacks their dominance (eg #GDPR).

@bob @wuhei @wxcafe which means #TheStacks could stop funding the Linux Foundation, but what happens then depends on how many of the people running it are supporters of the software freedom movement, and how many are shills put in place by #TheStacks (as many of those currently running Mozilla seem to be). Hopefully LF has enough money to keep funding going for at least a year or two without new money, giving the community time to raise funds for a post-corporate LF if need be.

#TheStacks back-pedal furiously, as people finally notice they are being farmed like cyber-cattles on #DataFarms like #FarceBook, #goOgle, and the #BirdCage

@verius Firefox has been heading down a dark road for awhile now (Hello/ TokBox, Adobe DRM blob, killing off Persona, and now Pocket etc). I suspect it's mostly due to what the author mentioned, their sponsorship by Google. Similar to Ubuntu's sponsorship by Amazon, if #TheStacks pay for a free code projects dinner, they feel entitled to f%$k their users. We desperately need *effective* models for funding free code dev
