SoftwarewolfI'm really tired of hearing terms like "digital detox".
We don't need to "detox" from digital. We need to wrest control of digital away from the capitalist oligarchs who have corrupted it into a torment nexus.
Benaresh@faoluin Right? Maybe you heard and/or read Edward Zitron's "Never Forgive Them" where he decries the Internet that was lost and the continious war on the User.
I remember when Facebook wasn't shit and Forums and old Youtube.
Cooperations made everything bland and even death gets a nice little euphemism like unalive that removes a lot of gravitas in discussions.
I dont miss everything like gore snuff and the right wing dominance of E-culture, but i miss the authenticity and rawness it had.

@Benaresh I confess that I may listen to Ed Zitron like a preacher. His podcast is my detox from AI bullshit.
@Benaresh I think right wing dominance of online culture wouldn't have happened had social media algorithms not been there to be manipulated by the grifters. Or at least it wouldn't have been as strong.
