A worthy goal. But our opponents have sovereign wealth and oligarchs on their side. We will have to organize. And build a secondary economy where they are refused entry and profit.

People doing business with each other. Not monopolies controlling markets and pricing.

We can start by not buying their apps.

I cant believe the amount of interaction there os on Mastodon, with just a handful of followers I began to get ten times as much interaction as on twitter.

(I can only assume even pre elon psychotic intetferrence tweet deliveries were manipulated)

I dont think humans have ever had an uncontrolled by money and power way to talk to each other.

I think this is going to be big.

Obviously, I agree this is a good thing. But organizing masses of people to boycott commercial social media will require careful thought and direct action. Especially on those platforms we wish to plant (rhetorical) dynamite and blow to pieces.

I don't this can happen as an organic and self organized transition. It will take military precision and planning.

@ParanoidFactoid

Hey, why not both?
We are a self governing creature, an animal of accomodating freedom. #Organize!? Yep. Most importantly organize democracy and give democratic power away.

Possibly the most powerful lesson, for anyone, about how to do democracy is Sean Penn's 'Milk' rec'd

And, since mastodon, growing like spring wheat, is the first mass communication system not controlled by money or power in history, I'm pretty darn sure the organic might lead it.

@kevinrns

I hope you're right.
