"One of the gifts the network has given us, is that we don't feel alone anymore" https://t.co/ZVJFkx4GBi
If you care about us, build system that last. Design for sustainability. Make users at the center of the ecosystem. https://t.co/biKIIxmFZZ

The strongest game loops are ones that put other people first. Karma made real, a virtuous cycle raises all boats.https://t.co/F1DlcvEX94

"Just not having enough time to see and read all of the content that one could want" but in a different framing:https://t.co/mghfMyh6Xs
You should watch that video by @MeherRoy. replace "signal generator" with "curators" & it's what I talk about here: https://t.co/i4RD4g0qw6
If you aren't paying attention... Meher's video is talking about the same kind of shift that 21co are pivoting into:https://t.co/BsvgSplunQ

My plan is to build a meta-layer for myself so I can avoid ever having to delete a social network again. Just like @albertwenger described in the second half of his talk on basic income:https://t.co/HxfCiuBWXV
Every time I come here, I use a book mark that links to this tweet: https://t.co/44xpltnAtM
So theoretically 3rd party companies are now basically allowed to scrape public data on social networks for adverts & analytics purposes: https://t.co/ZGBiWtGVSTI think the only real answer here is to leverage this to empower the consumer over the marketer.
And over on mastodon there's talk of creating a activitypub compatible vine replacement system.https://t.co/MGgnqDh34v
I refuse to watch our communication systems die under the weight of toxic advertising norms and misguided growth incentives.https://t.co/pRNiVqQeNv
Printing presses were turned into something most homes and every library had access to via the computer printer. The means of production was literally put in reach of everyone. But there is no profit to be made from giving people control over their own social networks.
There is, however, profit to be made in bots. https://t.co/B7OslXFZYyand a $35 raspberry pi can run 2900 of them.What happens when that market is saturated?We need to fix this dichotomy and uneven incentive landscape before we have no where left.https://t.co/ByP7O1J5OA
At every layer i've looked, the only system I've found that prevents parasitism is one that creates mutually balanced incentive alignment. We are seeing the effect of a dying ecosystem being cannibalized. The incentives have to change.https://t.co/KFpunwjB2t
Moats keep out the barbarians at the gates, but do little to protect a community from a corrupt ruling class disconnected from needs of the people. Seek to make moats unnecessary. Why are you being razed and plundered?https://t.co/ndoa3MNpce
If parasites are taking over the ecosystem, we must evolve."Biodiversity and species coexistence didn’t just drop; they disappeared."https://t.co/OpmhAPeUQS https://t.co/XbUl5BcJEE
