On Social Media & Radical Alternative Tech
It should come as no surprise (for a collective that chose No Blogs as our host!) that we loathe the big tech monopolies, especially Meta. Meta is notorious across its services for its privacy–violating practices & surveillance capital–driven business model, and most alarming for our purposes, its systematic anti–Palestinian censorship & active collaboration in the murder of Palestinians. This is necessarily true because it–like all of its kindred–is a company that runs almost entirely closed-source platforms owned and managed by private capitalists, who can undemocratically decide what is and isn’t acceptable discourse according to their class interests. Decentralised, federated platforms may have a host of problems unique to them, but being suddenly tanked by man–children is not one of them, and they are the best way forward for our collective virtual survival (alongside robust surveillance defence & security proofing).
Unfortunately, all cultural & political work needs to balance the need to start building towards our revolutionary collective future and ‘meeting the people’ where they are at in the present. And it is simply a fact that the cultural zeitgeist lives primarily on unjust, rights-violating services like Instagram at the time being; we therefore maintain a presence there in order to reach as many followers & collaborators as possible, despite the clear pitfalls of this approach as a long-term strategy. We do not take this decision lightly, and do so–to the best of our ability–with our eyes wide open. We have no faith in these platforms or their moderators/capitalist owners, and do not plan to wait around while they strangle and enclose the digital commons until it has withered or vanished altogether. We will make sure to back up our work on more democratic platforms so that when the inevitable crisis comes, we are ready to make the switch.
Are we missing out on reaching people on another service you’re a fan of? Feel free to let us know and we’ll look into opening an account.
