Starting a couple of weeks ago, I've been publishing a long—but I think briskly paced!—look at a specific piece of recent technology history, which is the role that Meta, Facebook, and the internet more generally played in the persecution and genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar. It's all up now.

stallman was right. for gen x and millenials, we experienced firsthand how technology is demonstrably a tool of the corporate state and donor class to reify existing socioeconomic hierarchies and violence. capitalist realism has dashed our hopes and impoverishes our imagination.

Worse: it’s impossible to tell what products or services are actually good. Reviews on the internet are gamed, outright faked or written by people with no taste. Now price isn’t even a signal, we’re screwed.

I like it here and I don’t think a mega corp Twitter clone can kill spaces like these.
There is a high level of original thought and engagement, people care about each other and maintain a strong space minimizing bad faith, harassment, and disinfo, which lets people be themselves & build community

I want the opposite of “guy in a diner” political reporting.
Have a journalist go to some of the weirdest scenes in the country, ask people there for their political opinions, and write about it in earnest and vivid detail

Somebody ought to do a “not at burning man” camp for burners with kids — same kinda vibe but for six year olds, a Summercamp.
It would be lifechanging for so many parents and maybe the kids too.
