It’s very interesting to see who in the fediverse is falling in line behind Silicon Valley and Big Tech and who is not.

And no, we can’t all just get along.

Big Tech is the antithesis of the cooperative and humanitarian values of federation and decentralisation. You can either be an apologist for surveillance capitalists or support the nascent ethical alternatives to their toxic business model that’s detrimental to human rights and democracy.

Pick a side. History will remember your choice.

@aral People still think of these companies as garages that made it. And that they must be good and well meaning if they made it this far. Yeeeah...
Everybody is quick to forget the history if you don't hammer it in them. Even then some just ignore it.
I never imagined this could go downhill so fast. I only feel for those that will lose their safe space if it goes too far. I don't really need this, but some do and they will suffer.
