While watching the video I couldn't stop thinking about the fediverse. It's basically self-organized social-media. While it is far from perfect it is so much better than the corporate alternative in terms of relevant content. I'm just sad that basically nobody I know personally actually uses the fediverse...

I might be in favor of banning for-profit social media, or at least regulating it more firmly and protecting consumers, and keeping people like Zuckerberg from using it to influence elections... Somehow. If that's not practical, I'll revert to supporting a ban.

Ban advertisements.

  1. The global advertising industry is fast approaching 1 trillion dollars annually.

  2. I would love that.
