#anarchismmonday 2/2 Do these proprietary tools at their foundational power level work against any of this anarchism? I ask because I am thinking about asking folks to use open software and systems like Mastodon and Minds.com and etherpad to do so. At first blush it seems 2 me 2 make no difference, but wouldn't users have profound blindspots about their own tool use and its negative affordances? Feels very Marxist in the idea of substructure/superstructure (or at least to my lay understanding).

@tellio you can see properteriy as a negation of #anarchism.

Minds.com I wouldn't use it. They implemented to much of these extrinsic motivational stuff.

The best I found sofar is #hubzilla. When using it don't think in terms of 'social network'. it's much more. It's a full federated cms incl. a social network.

@paulfree14 thanks for the #hubzilla ref, gonna check it.
