There is nothing wrong with our modern technology
There is something definitely wrong with us

It’s still not too late to create an open, federated technology equivalent for most services. We’re already well on our way.
Yea unfortunately though, the problem isn't making such a thing, it's getting the average joe on it. As long as the vast majority of people stay on centralized corporate controlled platforms, it'll just be the same ol dance over and over
We'd need something like EU forced interoperability with some actual teeth
I don’t actually think it’s necessary to get everybody on it, just enough people that it’s a thriving ecosystem.
Yea, but even getting to a critical mass threshold like that is going to be quite a feat. It took something like, what, 15 years for the internet in general to "catch on" with the general population? And that was without rich Nazi fucks fighting to keep people on the centralized platforms
It's doable, but the old saying "Make something good and they will come" isn't really applicable lol
Yeah, but mastodon and lemmy seem to be doing all right. I’m cautiously optimistic.
