The #nastyfew, billionaires funders fear informed, educated public

The #nastyfew are now building bunkers, literally, escaping with their bodyguards when the shit hits the fan. That’s the plan. No fixing the mess, no community care - just winning and escape. It’s #deathcult logic all the way down from now on - with pushing #geekproblem tech fixes as a cross fingers wing and a prayer, to stop any grassroots drift to green sustainable alternatives. This is simply the next stage of the #deathcult worship of endless growth, and infinite tech […]

#AI#bitcoin#deathcult

In the #openweb and #Fediverse spaces, it's worth remembering: Many people only value things once they’re validated by #mainstreaming sources. This is narrow, blinded behaviour — the kind that keeps the #deathcult fed.

If you only see value through the lens of #dotcons algorithms, you’re missing 90% of what actually matters.

A lot of the “famous” people in #mainstreaming — even on alt spaces — are assholes. Not because fame makes you bad, but because climbing the algorithm's ladder requires selfishness, ego, and conformity.

On alt platforms, sure, we have "our" assholes, that's life. But our assholes can be challenged, mediated, and composted into something better. On the #mainstreaming side? They're more shit on the corporate pile.

Please, don't bow down to them. Stay critical. Stay rooted. Keep your shovel handy.

The #Open Path vs The #Closed Path – Why Simplicity Matters

The #mainstreaming success of #Bluesky means we have a crew who keep pushing the idea of creating a "native" #AP federated codebase/platform that captures its simplicity and ease of use. The problem they focus on is complexity vs. accessibility, the #open path is inherently more complex than the #closed path, and that’s a good thing in an open society. It allows for diversity, resilience, and decentralization. But in a closed society (which is what we’re working with), complexity […]
