- “Apple will remove Damus from the AppStore, but “YOU” (advanced early adopters) will be alright, you can just use alternatives like Graphene!”
This is true, but haven't we already won the fight for ourselves?
We already know how to use open source operating systems, run nodes connected to satellites, move to El Salvador, etc.
I reasoned that this awareness would lead to more resistance on behalf of the mainstream: fighting tooth and nail for the illiterate plebs to be able to install open source apps from the appstore/playstore, use easy GUIs, etc.
...While also educating ourselves and others to become higher skilled contributors, as expressed by @bataroot
- sure, go ahead and have nice little arguments with Apple's centralized app store moderators. And while you are at it, do the same with the state, all for the benefit of the plebs and their "rights". in the meantime, I'll take care of my own and increase the 1% a little bit every day.
Efforts are being made on both fronts: Damus will not be removed from the appstore, and the education system is creating new maxi plebs every day.
However, I feel that we could be lured into becoming a “new elite” class in the digital age, with many privileges, but ultimately just special vassals of a more subtle authoritarian state.
Maybe I'm overcomplicating or making circular arguments, but I feel led to inquire about motivation today:
- Focus on "the remnant" and "expanding the 1%"
or/and/vs
- "The race to avoid the war" and advocating for mass availability.
Your take?
