The internet is broken - not by tech, but by who owns it.
@marleenstikker Marleen Stikker, internet pioneer, founder of @waag cuts to the core:
“Big tech took our privacy, our autonomy, our future.
We never defined the internet as a public service.
Now, they define us.”
The fix?
Reject the ‘evil empires.’
Build and embrace open, ethical alternatives!

Wild turn of events: the Hard Fork crew (@kevin, @Casey) + P.J. Vogt ( @pj) from Search Engine spun up their own Mastodon instance (https://theforkiverse.com/) to help fix the internet. 🤯 Last time I heard Kevin and Casey talk Mastodon, it wasn’t exactly love. Glad they changed tune—now let’s funnel folks into the damn Fediverse and make it weird again. #Fediverse #Mastodon #HardFork #SearchEngine #FixTheInternet

I'd like to personally curse windows and almost every major tech company for 2025...

Social media platforms moderate a global conversation. It's time to re-think what kind of a moderator we want for our well-being and for better progress. - https://hackernoon.com/is-inherently-intellectual-social-media-a-pipe-dream #socialmedia #fixtheinternet

Yuval Noah Harari warns people about social media and phone usage. Yet, he has accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Why doesn't he switch to Mastodon?

I want to use uBlock Origin in Hard Mode (blocking all thirdparty content by default) but it’s so annoying... Literally no website works anymore and I have to manually find the missing content/js to even use the website. Might switch to normal mode again :(
