@_elena @MediaActivist Good shout. With venture capital funded startups you only have power at one point in their lifecycle: at the very start when they havenโt scaled yet and donโt yet have network effects. If you can kill their growth curve then, you can kill the startup. If, however, you โgive them the benefit of the doubtโ so they can use their initial cash injection to scale and achieve network effects, theyโre set. They become another Facebook, X, etc. And they remain.

@doktorzjivago @_elena Better look at my english language Mastodon-account. @AnderstS. I've written a post on my blog about the persons and companies behind W Social. In swedish though but easily translated.

@MediaActivist @_elena I go into more detail in my older talks, e.g., this one from six years ago: Ethical Technology or Feudalism?

@aral @_elena Fantastic. Just last Wednesday I facilitated a workshop where I claimed that much of what we use now would've been considered "malware" back in the day. Perhaps predictably, I love the points on journalism as clickbait too (I've just included that quote from Axel Springer's lawyer in my website section on "Why Media Activism?"!) Thank you!

@MediaActivist @_elena Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I wish it wasnโt still relevant. But I realised at about that time that talking about this โ while important โ isnโt enough. Folks would clap me in one breath and the person from Google in the next. Fingers crossed the Small Web will have an impact. Even if it doesnโt, at least itโll exist.

@MediaActivist @_elena Sadly, folks applaud anyone who speaks confidently. I even started telling people during my talks that they shouldnโt just accept what Iโm saying because I say it confidently and maybe with a modicum of charisma but think about what Iโm saying and what the next person is going to be saying and think critically about all of it, butโฆ ๐คทโโ๏ธ

@BathysphereHat sometimes the word for a colour just sounds better.

Clicking "โฅ" seems like the wrong reaction, but you have my commiseration. ๐

Like no, there's no secret, universal code to what colours mean in art and literature (although that doesn't mean colour can't be significant). But there are other things that can have meaning. Hell, colour choices can have meaning. It's just not "Red is violence, blue is sadness, yellow is ambiguity" or whatever.
-
I feel like "the curtains are just blue" is a weird summary of the argument that seemingly mundane choices in fiction carry no meaning, because it's taking like the most dogshit kind of symbolism and acting like that's what all symbolism is like.

@Antonio1959 pochi ricordano Bersani e le lenzuolate di leggi a favore dei consumatori TUTTI, di qualunque partito.... preferiscono astenersi e prenderla nel mulo!

The way I write, the curtains usually really are just blue. But that doesn't mean there's no symbolism or deeper meaning at all in seemingly mundane choices I make, it just means I think colour symbolism is generally bullshit.

Un deferente e riconoscente pensiero a Giorgio Napolitano. Ricordiamo anche che in questo paese restano attivi alcuni improbabili talent scout:
