@strypey @keithpp I see a #dualpower strategy: campaign in good faith for a #platformcoop conversion to spread the vision of a participant-controlled platform. When the logic of #capital prevails, channel disappointment to migration to democratic #opensource alternatives.

It's a conceptually shorter 1st step 4 most folks to imagine ownership reform of a familiar platform, while the energy generated by the frustration of that dream might spur radical action. #buytwitter

@keithpp Well, this looks so good I think I'll skip coffee and go straight to milky tea this morning. 😋

Medium are sticking two fingers up to the commoners.

@keithpp :-) I'm as horrified by the VCs privatizing commons as you are. The question is, what can we realistically influence as users?
