Corporate Social Media is Junk Food
(lemm.ee)
SocialMedia is part of your daily diet - so why not make it healthy?
Corporate platforms feed you ads, algorithms, and infinite scroll designed to keep you hooked on junk food. The #Fediverse is different:
โ No ads, no algorithms โ Real communities run by real people โ Diverse cultures and positive content
Stop feeding on junk. Switch to something organic!
Yes. You don't actually get to explore other cultures, you just get a bastardized, commodified version of it. The commodification of cultures for global dissemination is destroying unique cultures around the globe. It's a massive humanitarian crisis, but it gets a free pass in the eyes of the western public because they get to eat tasty food and make pithy comments online directed towards people they hate. Xenophilia is a cancer.
It took 3 hours and we already got to gatekeeping culture.
Believe it or not, some people actually like having more than a single mono-culture in the world. Everybody everywhere doesn't actually want Lego and the Marvel Universe to dominate their own societies.
I recognize that issue but I don't need necessarily read the example on OP, as exemplifying that.
Disclaimer: I'm a white North American (ergo no culture) so I'm open to discussing this further as I'd like to hear your experience.
