  • Exactly. And may I add to your point the privatization of public communication by social media ( especially Instagram ). It’s becoming very hard to find information about your city public action without an account on Instagram; now to be a citizen is required to have an “social media id”.

    Also, business are becoming hostages of Instagram: their only way to communicate with the customers is through this mediation. I think is very very important to platforms like pixelfed to become more popular and indeed brake these people free.







  • These non-stick pans are usually cheaper then stainless steel and cast iron, so people with lower income are more prone to buy it. Consequently, considering that low education is associated with poverty, poor people are buying more of this type of pans and not using it “properly” so getting exposed to possibly more harm and not knowing about it.

    Also, " just discard the pan if flocking occurs", is everything that this industry wants: you’ll continue in an indefinitely loop of trowing away pans and buying new ones for the maximization of their profits. Thus is expected that flocking will occur more soon than ever.
















  • I get it, but each instance could have a community called “chat” or something, and people could talk about a specific topic. It’s not a proper conversation but it’s something… I know that we already do that, in some sense, but it’s always more directed to commenting a news article, or a meme.

    Recently I saw that some people gathered to read Das Capital, and they had scheduled each week to talk about a specific part of the book. That’s something awesome and a great way to learn.
