   @wjmaggos I'm literally working on a piece for We Distribute that cites "the medium is the message" in reference to social media, because I think you're right, the online spaces have to reflect how we want society to be, and we can put our energies into that rather than helping to legitimise those supposed "town squares" that are, in fact, corporate conference suites driven by algorithms and ads.

     the medium is the message? #LiberalValues

     complain about what influential people are saying or the messages/misinformation that some groups/governments are pushing, but please focus more on how this stuff propagates.

     what services are we using that lets them decide what the masses see/hear? help people move to decentralized alternatives without ads or algos. if the problem is the public boosting their claims, work to advance critical thinking and engage the spreaders in good faith dialogue.
