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:
✅ No ads, no algorithms ✅ Real communities run by real people ✅ Diverse cultures and positive content
Stop feeding on junk. Switch to something organic!
Is this in response to the "diverse cultures" part?
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.
