@EUCommission Digital independence is important for all aspects of technology -- AI, cloud, and social networking. Good luck with this effort.

P.P.S. My latest blog post about #ActivityPub fediverse contains a "Back to (potentially radical) simplicity" call-to-reflection (among other subject matters) .. https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116368803389082089

Solution is.. difficult, but simple, yet not easy. 😝

@kim Calling that kind of behaviour _passive_ aggressive seems generous.

@danso that's really interesting. Thanks for the thoughts.

@evan my previous answer was flippant…

The question seems to ask whether we have some moral obligation to inform people, to which I think the answer is obviously not. If somebody I’m not expecting knocks on my door, I have no obligation to open it or even to be at home. The knocking can just be un-acked.

But… I still voted “no, but”. I definitely think you can tell them, and it might even be a kind thing to do, depending on the previous relationship you’ve had. I would feel pretty bad if I was close with somebody, or they depended on me, and then I locked them out of my life without a word.

@evan girl I block about fifteen people a day, I’m not writing each one an apology first

@evan @cratermoon @scottjenson @Gargron You could gatekeep a part of the network if you are moderator for it, which often means you're one of the hosters.

When *they* brainstormed ways to break the internet, they created pitch-decks.

And still: the old web was good in so many ways for so long. The Tron-pilled amongst us held the line. When we build a new, good, post-American internet, we're going to need a multitude of Tron-pilled technologists, old and young, who build, maintain - and, above all, *defend* it.
