Just one more example of why the world has to disassociate from American tech as rapidly as possible.
Minor asterisk: we need to move away from abusive tech business practices altogether. It's distressing how people can see the problem and recreate it like with Bluesky. I hope we can build better systems now rather than doing this all over again with european monopolists in 10 years.
I love Lemmy because I get so casually outlefted I feel like an elected Democrat in the US.
It's good to be reminded there are morons involved with every political philosophy out there
Even with that wildly, non-extreme sounding candor, a democratic-socialist at worst. I used to consider my self a "classic" centrist. Now? I couldn't tell you tf it meant then.
Capitalism needs to go if you want this to happen.
Ah, yes. Anti-capitalist software like Yandex and Baidu are so much better...
What the world needs are federated, distributed systems like www, email, and the fediverse
Just because they operate out of China, that doesn't make them anti-capitalist. Frankly, despite its name, China has a capitalist economy, just with much stronger authoritarianism than most.
Doesn’t matter about the software. You want them to stop being pieces of shits with malicious practices yet capitalism encourages the greater shits to a fight to be the biggest piece of shit on the planet. Case study: The Oil and gas industry might as well call it the parasite thats in everything including you right now.
the EU actually regulates...
Bluesky is still american. What you're lloking for is W Social
Disassociate from the United States period.
