For everyone in the EU who wants to work on the future of social media, the metaverse, interoperability and openness.

Please don't start working for Facebook. You won't be part of the solution, you won't improve the world. At most, you will hinder the actual technical innovations we both dream of.

Organise yourselves, look for leaders to start a co-operative or nonprofit and work with everything you have to bring the true vision of ethical technology to the masses.

This is my favourite #Kurzgesagt video so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiw6_JakZFc

It pretty much explains (also to myself) why I do what I do :)

If there is one video you would watch today, send to your family, or share yourself, please let it be this impressive story. Thanks in advance!

A fantastic documentary.

Sometimes it's enough to learn, and abstain from judging or giving an opinion.
