    - Conférence par Cory Doctorow au 39c3 : A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet. - media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-ame

  13. CW: Social media is an "unhealthy online environment... [MP3 Version]

    @openrightsgroup MP3 Version

    #Social media is an "unhealthy online environment".

    The problem is the #business #model which underpins these #monopolistic platforms to:

    ➡️ promote #ragebait :nes_fire: to rake in the money. 💰

    Jim Killock told #BBC News what needs to be done around #SocialMedia:

    ✅ Competition
    ✅ User empowerment
    #Decentalization / #Decentalized #Platforms

    #OpenRightsGroup #SocialMedia #Health #BBC #JimKillock

    #Decentralised #Platforms / #Decentralisation #Mastodon #Fediverse

    #Audio about #Advertising
    #BusinessModel of #SocialMedia is #Commercial

    My #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON #PEERTUBE ETC -

    NOT JUST MORE TECH AND #TECHIES - develop people themselves!

    We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people...

    (and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by #tech ).

    Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (or any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for (all normal in new relationships) / what do if this or that... / how to WORK WITH someone new / where and when to go regularly somewhere...

    Some chat happens but is that it as a Mastodon #movement? ❓ (any groups with just a donate button and nobody to talk to)

    Such a lack of depth... 📉

    Without some training, we the society are lost / undirected online / offline. Sorry but best time to plant a tree / invest in a person is now!

    Let's chat (as positive ending and action needed between reader and I - more if we can imagine it).

  15. The game, originally invented by Elizabeth Magie in 1904 as the Landlord's Game, was designed to demonstrate the negative consequences of #monopolistic practices and the unequal distribution of #wealth. Magie's intention was to show how a system that allows a few players to accumulate vast wealth while others are left with nothing can lead to social and economic #inequality.
