I made it to the first page of 'Explore Mastodon'. How did that happen? Persistence pays off I guess. Note to self: apply some persistence to website.
But I can't figure out how to navigate my logins between fediverse, mastodon.social and mstdn.social. I keep looking and discovering new rooms in the mastodon mansion, but am baffled.
People used to own their own websites in the pre-social media phase.
The ISP model was web hosting. Everyone would be a publisher. Everyone would have their own website.
Now the model is: you provide the content for someone else's website, for free. You don't own it, and it is used for a comprehensive surveillance system like the world has never seen to not only observe, but to manipulate and influence your affect and conduct. It is aggregated and used by every government and large corp.
Ballad of a Thin Man
Bob Dylan
"You raise up your head
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else says, "Well what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God
Am I here all alone?"
But something is happening
And you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Heart breaking news! 🙊
