Why #Mastodon and the #Fediverse are so important:
“Relying on market-based means of communication made it inevitable that sooner or later, the ruling class would get to determine who can speak and how.”

@andricheli I agree. But that definitely wasn’t the point of the article. They’re advocating for in person networks. Not online social networks.
@nickbax I realize that wasn’t the point but a federated approach to social media is one potential solution the problem. In person connections are great but not possible in many cases and for many communities.
@andricheli shame that they don't mention dmfedi in the article at all! Are they here? @CrimethInc@todon.eu @crimethinc@kolektiva.media ?
