“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!” — Mario Savio, 1964

Who wins in a scenario like this?
Gee, wonder Fediverse users, how is that even possible? /s
OP did not reply but I offer +or- 1999. We need Wikipedia. Our current set of Fediverse apps model the independent development that was happening in the 90s do they are in.
What’s out are the corporations.
OP takes the corporations for granted. I don’t.
If people can pursue their creativity and vision with non-corporate tech run on donations with the help of vollunteers we’d surely have a more healthy world.
OP is totally correct that we have allowed things to go completely out of control. And he is correct that the solution is the embrace of decentralized tech.
