At the moment we're working on the new/future strategy, seeing that we should probably focus on ideas/conceptd as much as on brands. Sure, the latter is also important, but jumping from one brand to another may not solve the underlying problems; it'll age better if we convince people to think beyond brands, e.g. "self-hosting", "decentralisation", "end-to-end encryption"...

As a side issue, in the age of "corporations are people" (notorious and foolish statement) we're meant to think that disliking some corporation is an issue of hate or jealousy. We can bypass such a false narration by speaking of concepts. Of course companies have no feelings and cannot accuse their critics of ad hominem; but they have Public Relations professionals, twisting logic to make it seem or feel that way.

The video above speaks of a topic we covered in text yesterday. Though it may seem like a spnotaneous ramble, it does cover a number of aspects and challenges that have been on our minds lately. ⬆
