A Request to the Fediverse Community (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

With the recent happenings in the United States, the dangers of the privately owned Internet is more apparent than ever, and frankly, it's scary. And so I'd like to make a simple request to anyone who is reading this; Please use the Fediverse, just a little more.

I personally hate it when I'm stuck having to visit say, YouTube or Reddit to get information, or to entertain myself in quiet moments, and if you're reading this, the likely chance is you're the same.

All I want to ask of you is to just comment a few more times, press send on that post that you felt wasn't of enough substance to be worth anyone's time. We have such a small community compared to everywhere else, but what we do have in common is that, in the grand scheme of things, we are the early adopters. And if we take that to heart and make this space a little bigger, maybe it will be just big enough we won't have to visit walled gardens so often.

Thank you :)

That's the point. It will be secret companies trying to persuade the general population.

I'm different companies, maybe out of jurisdiction.

I just don't know i think we've crossed the Rubicon. It's out the box now.

Maybe with worldcoin, we can scan retina's and provide proof of humanity.

Otherwise. I think it's pretty much really hard to control. And people/companies will get some regulations. Might hamper it a bit. But won't stop it. Ie it could be from Russia or China. So it would only work if all cooperated and banned bot accounts. Which seems unlikely
