I've got good news, if you're willing to follow my argument.
The toxic #capitalist system we're suffering under depends increasingly on hundreds of millions of us generating attention-grabbing content for the Big Tech platforms. I assume this is true.
In other words, if those millions of (unpaid) content generators were to stop generating attention-grabbing content for Big Tech, at least some of the Big Tech enterprises would be in crisis or even topple. That'd be good, right?
How to get there? Draw attention away from Big Tech platforms to alternative platforms that don't destroy our souls, humanity and the planet. En masse, of course. Generating attention-grabbing content then becomes a revolutionary practice to destroy the current attention economy.
The idea is that if we post and share interesting things only via wholesome networks like Mastodon, the Big Tech platforms will collapse and the toxic attention economy will eventually wither away.
So, what's the good news? It's that posting interesting things on the Fediverse is revolutionary work! And getting comrades to join the movement onto the Fediverse is revolutionary work too!
