Social Control Media, Even If Based on Free Software, Still Has Many Problems
The above is new and it has struck a nerve. I quit Mastodon and all other Social Control Media, seeing it was at best* a total waste of time, waste of effort, and a distraction from what actually mattered and still matters. Life is basically way too short for Social Control Media; there are people who - in terms of combined time - will spend actual years (contiguously) in Social Control Media, sharecropping for people like Mark Kapo-berg, who refers to them as "dumb fucks" (his words, not mine). █
