    The TikTok ban and Donald Trump's rise to power show how fragile our social media accounts are. We must normalize and invest in decentralized social media.

        Uh, no? We can’t organize if we lock up our information.

        We need both. Public bullhorns and confidential communications.

          Yeah I just mean that if you want a bullhorn, even if you don’t order it from Amazon, you still donate training data to Amazon every time you use it. Obviously you might have to do that anyway, but there is a trade-off. You can’t completely escape.

            So Amazon’s AI will learn “no war but class war” and “eat the rich”?

            I really dont mind AI eating up public data.

        that’s what we want, yeah, but it won’t help us connect with the people we need to dislodge from the death cult.
