Very good read, however largely framed around the US experience.

I will say his 3 solutions at the close of that piece overlook what self-hosted community-centred infrastructure can bring, and is already bringing, to the table. I don't think switching to dumbphones is the way.

But it is good to be clear with ourselves, that breaking from the toxicity and building & using the digital surface we want won't come without some degree of initial pain.

Returning to Friendica after 13 years
Introductions (starting with that is probably the best way to get people to skip over this post)
Hi. I'm Lance or Whilomgeek on fedi. I'm a long-covid-force-retired user researcher living in the Seattle, WA area. I'm also an amateur photographer, nature lover, virtual table-top RPGer, best dad to 2 dogs, a cat, and my teenage daughter. I've been dipping my toes into 3D printing, laser-cutting, and CAD.
I first signed up for a now long dead Friendica instance back in 2012, hoping for an alternative to FB which I didn't trust even back then. This is my second or third try with Friendica. I can also be found at @whilomgeek@pixlmo.com and @Lance
