If you’re reading this toot there’s a pretty high chance you’ve asked yourself ethical questions about your social media use *and that’s why you’re here*

You’ve likewise probably got concerns about Meta and Threads

But the 90-odd % of your friends you left behind on Facebook, Insta etc. likely don’t have those concerns to the same extent as you

Mastodon has to win on user experience *as well as on ethics*. We can’t just berate the Meta users

How to understand AI: it’s a tragedy of the commons, not an arms race

AI progress presents problems. Elinor Ostrom outlined the solutions.

@Ronkjeffries This is a prescient pronouncement. Mastodon is fun but neither simple nor easy at this stage of its maturity. https://mastodon.social/@gruber/110314382066961654
