Interesting Things on the Internet: January 30th 2023 Edition
- The Power Of Selling Out: Your Customers As Political Capital - Onion Talks - Ep. 9. Okay. Own up. Who showed this video to all the tech bros and told them it was the hottest new TED talk?
- Pluralistic: Tiktok's enshittification. Cory Doctorow on why capitalism ruins the Internet.
- Mastodon: A New Hope for Social Networking. A great primer for Mastodon. The open, not-owned-by-one-company nature of the Fediverse (and hence Mastodon) is allowing much more interesting developments in social media. You should join (give me a shout if you want an invite)
- The miracle of the commons. Commoning—managing a commons—is tricky and nuanced, but possible and better than the alternatives.
