It's been said before a dozen times in a dozen ways, but corporations taking away *ownership* of internet spaces is why technology is kind of going to shit.
People used to have hand-crafted blogs and build well-structured forums, and they gave it all up for a feudalist system of Facebook Groups, Subreddits, and Discord 'servers.' I'm so happy tech like Ghost and Mastodon is changing the tides here, I only wish we could speed it up further 🙂

If we can be so bold, this is what makes Privacy Guides so great: Everything we do truly belongs to us, all of us as a community.
We're not a "community" that's actually fully owned by Reddit, or just a YouTube channel or Instagram page. Hundreds of contributors have chosen to build a space to talk about digital privacy and consumer tech rights that we control. We can only hope other communities follow this model and resist big tech more 💛
