· Föderation EN Sa 29.03.2025 19:38:26 @evan no technology is neutral, but no technology is capable of solving social problems on its own. Furthermore, the advance of the shit-right among the population is not a spontaneous problem, but is determined by enormous investments that the timocracy has allocated and continues to allocate to orient public opinion, ensure the loyalty of publishers, finance politicians and manipulate elections. The closed and manipulative algorithms of the platforms modify democratic balances, while open ecosystems consolidate democracy, stimulate diversity and incentivize participation. The Fediverse can therefore be a solution to the extent that it constitutes an alternative to manipulative technologies. As for the advance of the right In fact, the problem is not the populist right in and of itself, but rather the fact that the populist right constitutes an extraordinary vector for bringing the predatory aristocracy of large technological companies to power. |

Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 20:35:07 @evan certainly yes; and
...is my answer (in addition to the "yes, but" of the survey) What comes before is the permise What comes after is just a corollary (if I said something weird, it might have been me, but I'll basically blame the Italian-English machine translator 😅) |
