   The nazis really found out we put Obama in office (and kept him there) using Twitter, and immeeeeediately started work to dismantle, destroy and enshittify anything positive we built on the internet.

   Looks like they got away with it too.

     @ErickaSimone This kind of pattern happens repeatedly: they study what works organically representing the actual will of the people, and engineer a way to repurpose it for what they want to present as the will of the people. See: Cambridge Analytica, etc.

     Non-/Anti-technofascist technologists need to be one step ahead of this game, predicting how they'll be able to malpurpose the next thing and shut off the vectors by which they could do that before they can.

     This requires non-corporate, non-sellable ownership, ala Mastodon/fedi.
