Social Control Media is About Faking (Self) Importance, With Companies Preying on Insecurities and Profiting From Fake Popularity
Don't let the Fediverse be dominated by Zuck. It's a malicious company run by a malicious sociopath.
Selling 'status' to people. Like Google takes money from Bill Gates for his reputation laundering PR campaigns.
Political bidding, gaming public perception in an exchange of money and power. Rigging elections, running 'Brexit' campaigns etc.
Trading favours and horses.
Musk bought Twitter to sell himself and his ideology.
Do we want the Fediverse to be controlled by 'Meta'? The volumes of curated (by Instagram/Facebook) material would drown out the rest.
