Thanks, @strypey

I'm following up on @laura and @aral now.

I remember the WWW before Wired magazine interrupted and took over the narrative.

Paulina Borsook wrote about that moment in "Cyberselfish: A Critical Romp through the Terribly Libertarian Culture of High Tech" (2000).

As they say, if you want to change the world, change the language you use to describe it. The rest will follow.

Welcome to the fediverse @mark_mcguire !

> I’ve been thinking about EF Schumacher's Small is Beautiful

I read most of this book about 20 years ago, very influential on my thinking. The permaculture principle "small and slow solutions" was not doubt inspired at least in part by Schumacher's work. I like to think of the fediverse as small and slow solutions for social media ;)
