Internet: The Illusion of Empowerment, Jerry Mander, 1998

One thing that is very much missing on this planet imo is media literacy. We can build all the censorship resistance platforms we want, if we dont know how to verify information ourselves we will always keep rebuilding the same echochambers. ⭐️If you‘re interested in learning more about media literacy, interact with this post and I‘ll probably come up with one of the very controversial examples I am currently struggling to verify myself in the recent media hype.⭐️ Media literacy is not easy and its not for everyone. It involves asking yourself very hard questions that constantly go against your own bias, not instantly reacting to the current thing, and sometimes spending days or weeks on a single topic before you are able to form your own opinion, and most importantly, it means always being open to being wrong. I still think that learning this skill would be worthwhile. Nobody should rely on journalists, activists, media outlets, advocacy groups, politicians or governments as a single source of truth. Let‘s use our brains for something other than decoration ✌️

Always had trouble qualifying anything that isn‘t writing as „work“. would do the thing and still feel like I didn‘t actually „do“ anything bc what do you mean writing a few emails and filling out an excel sheet is a legitimate use of peoples time
