scary to see how many people are willingly signing up for another Meta privacy nightmare. And then there are even people defending it in the fediverse, like as if Meta isn't gunning to destroy us ASAP
I think embracing and valuing the principles of FOSS, decentralization, anonymity, privacy, ownership of one’s digital identity and data, online security, etc. requires a degree of technological literacy that most people don’t possess. For most online citizens today who’ve only ever known the current centralized Web 2.0 through the glass of a mobile device, convenience trumps those principles even when you explain their value to them.
The Meta crowd and the Fediverse crowd are not two perfect distinct sets - more like a Venn diagram with some inevitable overlap.
yep, agreed. I think there should be a public education effort (like billboards / PSAs) to impress upon the general public what kinds of dangers there are in handing their information and social media presence over to large corporations. We've already seen a bit of that in response to tiktok
People don't care. They just want to scroll their friends feeds.
