I don't get the argument that public institutions "have to be where people are". Why?

Pornhub has about the same amount of monthly active users as X. No one thinks our EU commissioners or the Swedish parliament must be on Pornhub.

In the pre-socials era no one expected the prime minister to make his statements in the gossip press "because that's where people are".

I think its time to dismiss that "where people are" argument altogether. No one will listen to me, but still 😐. #plus1

@campact Ihr solltet euren Toot aktualisieren und ‚https://‘ vor der URL hinzufügen, damit ein klickbarer Link entsteht.

@evan I'd say yes, we need competition and regulation.

@evan I most certainly don't have any answers, but it's a super interesting discussion. Somewhere in there lies the question of interoperability (if I'm using it correctly). I we could all connect and "talk to" FB users using other tools/services then users would have choice (competition would exist). We could have groups for our local community and invite to birthdays without being "slaves" to FB. And if we didn't like the algo, we'd use a tool/service with a different algo (or no algo).

@marc @dansup I've been curious to try it too, but I haven't found the download for Android (eOS). Where did you get the app?
