    Everything has gone to...In January 2023, @pluralistic used the term "enshittification" on his blog, pluralistic.net, to describe the deterioration process of the TikTok network.Enshittification consists of four stages:1. Platforms are good for users2. Platforms abuse users to be good for business customers3. Platforms abuse business customers to keep all the profit4. Platforms die🧵 #thread #socialmedia #platforms #fediverse #activitypub #google #amazon #microsoft #enshittification

    Eurosky dawns: Building Infrastructure for Sovereign Social Media – Open FutureNot sure how to take this: Mastodon already exists, it’s a European project and it’s struggling to take off.I don’t think that the problem with Mastodon’s lack of adoption is the ActivityPub protocol. What advantages does the ATProtocol have that will lead to wider adoption?developing alternative social media infrastructure that is not controlled by Big Tech or venture capital-backed US corporations, anchored within EU jurisdiction, and designed to foster a more pluralistic information ecosystem.Source: Eurosky dawns: Building Infrastructure for Sovereign Social Media – Open Future

    You see a lot of hand wringing about social media and division and isolation. I think that the division and isolation are real but it puts the cart before the horse. We are divided and isolated because we have lost public space and public time. You can't afford to go out and be with people or even pursue solo delights, like walking, fishing, bird watching or what have you.If we think about semi common land as places where you can be with others away from work it will include places like pubs and cafes, parks, forests, hills, clubs dedicated to games or shared interests. The costs of entering have increased. Transport is expensive, adequate gear costs, the drink or the cake is exorbitant. Many of these places require a critical mass of people to survive. There are less people with the time and the resources to maintain or participate in shared activities. It becomes the preserve of the rich few. They in turn mark their enclosure by making it seem like possession of the right, hyper-expensive gear is a prerequisite of entry. You rarely see people out for a cycle in a pair of old trousers, a t-shirt and battered old bike these days. It's all lycra and carbonfibre.We lack the time and the energy to do it even when we have the money. So we turn to youtube and social media to fill the lack, but the division will remain until we can get the boot off our faces by freeing up access to the common and the semi-common. Then we can be with each other again.#Commons, #SocialMedia, #CapitalismIsKillingUs

    «...Habits are things we learn from others, and they make us 'like' others. At the same time, though, they are deeply personal. Working with this contradiction, this book explores the extent to which habits are what society can be in the era of neoliberalism, an epoch that emphasizes individual empowerment and difference...»---[Wendy Hui Kyong Chun]#books #socialmedia #technology #politics #sociology
