  Hypocrisy. Illiteracy. Deception.

  We need to stop platforming Nazis—available on my Substack.

  The importance of decentralized social media—posted from my Bluesky acccount.

  The dangerous rise of fascism in America—follow me on Twitter for more.

  The importance of open source—from my WordPress blog.

  Starting to get the theme here? These are all things I’ve seen in the last year. Kinda awkward right? We’ve got Substack eagerly platforming Nazis, Bluesky is laughably not decentralized, Twitter is… well…, and ooph, WordPress has been quite the open source debacle now hasn’t it? Why do these authors and creators continue to publish such incongruous content to platforms that are in direct conflict to their own message?…

  1. Are they enslaved to the “reach” and “community-effects” that these larger, morally-compromised platforms provide?
  2. Are they simply tech-“illiterate” and don’t understand what’s going on with these platforms?
  3. Have they been outright deceived by the marketing and influencers of that platform—led to believe their platform of choice is something that it isn’t?
  4. Or are they just full of shit?

  I have my theories… 🤦‍♂️

  The ol’ Cringe-o-Meter is just pegged to max these days a’int it?
