We have to bulld a new healthier open social web. The current closed, commercialized siloes are indeed a cancer.

GOV. COX:
"Social media has played a direct role in every single assassination and assassination attempt that we have seen over the last 5, 6 years. There is no question... Cancer probably isn't a strong enough word. What we have done especially to our kids, it took us decade to realize how evil these algorithms are."

@span tchambers

"conflict entrepreneurs"

I'm not sure if this refers to the people running the services or show hosts, but I like it.

I just worry that people won't separate decentralized social media from closed services with algos and ads. imo much of the cable news business model is just a lesser version of the combo of the divisive commentators and the big tech algos that drive people to them for profit.

the #SocialWeb is a way to break free from all of that. #DemocracyOfReach

@span tchambers facebook, threads, bluesky are the WRONG answer, as the current events have clearly shown.

EVERY corporate owned (yes, blewski is vc crypto techbro owned) is a toxic negative entity. NO, none of them are the Fediverse, just unfortunately "bridged" to here.

No exceptions.
