  • Well, true. I may have gotten here though Reddit. But now I’m taken aback by what’s happening here.

    I mean, the whole thing is open, FOSS developed, decentralized, being everywhere and at the same time nowhere? Call me crazy, but this in itself is awesome!

    On top of that, I was greeted here by a community of communities where people are kind, helpful, full of beautiful and interesting insights.

    So why would I be thinking of going somewhere else? I’ve posted more comments here in the past weeks than in the last ten years on Reddit. And I’ve done that because I’m genuinely excited with this setting.

    So no, I’m not joining the herd moving to greener pastures. This field is green enough for me.



  • They are my mother, father, and everyone else. Life’s hard, and too many things compete for our attention.

    You’re right. Indiscriminate data collection is like the meat industry. Some people may find abhorrent how animals are treated, even how destructive the whole thing can be. But ultimately, out of sight is out of mind, right?

    Like you said, the same with privacy. Apps are shiny, addictive, and seem to be given away for free. Then life happens, the mind becomes busy with what holds its attention.

    We’re doomed because the game being played is simply too complex for anyone make sense of it. Any competing insight is immediately drowned under the massive torrent of data we’re all subjected to.
