i totally agree, i didn’t quite state it but was basing my comment in the status quo. without being able to personally change the world’s economic model, one has to make decisions in the context of the current one.
i think another factor is that we are reaching or have maybe surpassed the earth’s carrying capacity for humans, which is only going to get worse with climate change. in the past, more kids also meant more labor and there was still lots of land to colonize and spread into with those extra people. but we already have more than enough people and no realistic places left to expand.
i learned about GNU Taler the other day from one of the OS communities
what if it needed just one more second to complete?
they may be able to read certain data from another instance but their current platform allows complete surveillance of what you looked at, how long, every click and scroll, etc while also being able to feed that in to manipulating what you see.
imo it will be basically impossible to have that kind of impact on people from instances not controlled by them, particularly if the other instance defederates so they don’t see meta instance content.
we probably need to transition to bringing our own reusable packaging/bottling for that stuff.
