   Cory Doctorow does my head in at the best of times but this is really something else.

     The solution to massive social networks that can be taken over, ran by massive cunts, become unfathomably capitalist hellscapes, breeding grounds for fascism blah blah blah, isn't "I'll built my own, and you'll love it because I am right, now I just need 30 million" or whatever, it's "we can work towards creating an ungovernable number of alternatives and seize the means of production"

     The key thinking I take away from what he's going for on this one is that "I'm going to build my own theme park with blackjack and hookers" will fix anything in tech because these sorts of people think they know best on everything. Spoilers: They literally don't, and when they do they only serve their own personal cultural norms anyway, fuck the rest right?
