I'm contemplating writing a piece about the political importance of the #Fediverse. We talk about #democracy, #decentralisation, and #horizontalism in our societies, but it really is important that we embrace technology that reflects such aspirations as well.

  Having critical, diplomatic debates about improving our spaces and culture online are what we ought to welcome, because it means we're focused on building and enhancing alternatives to digital capitalism. We can't even *have* those discussions on those other sites -- because they are simply incompatible with such ideals.

    At a personal level, maybe using algo-driven & ad-supported social media seems fine. That's really what most media is. Radio & TV have always done this, deciding what comes next. Most streaming options will auto play something now too. Fine. The problem is at the collective level. A world where a few corporations have so much control over what everyone pays attention to is not a healthy society. It's bad for democracy. Breaking this cycle is why the #fediverse matters. Here, we decide together.
