@croyle Yep! We initially fought back but Asians being Asians: "if you have nothing hide" and/or "just create one and don't use it, problem solved". ๐
Meta cornered certain cultures without them doing anything. It's why Meta and Twitter rarely react about the #SocialWeb , they have a solid market elsewhere. The North Americans, Europeans, Australians, can all stop using Meta products and Twitter, they still have a huge market in CJKM + ASEAN + South Asia. The Philippines, India, and Indonesia alone can sustain them.
If the Open Social Web really intend to change the landscape, it should focus on these three countries first, then spread to the mentioned three regions. Social Web movements are too focused on the Western (NA, EU, AU) markets, that's why it's not making a dent on these corps.
Those of us at the grassroots can only do so much. We need coverage, write-ups, events, education, campaigns, and financial support.
