Remember, why we are here
Discussion
In 1995, one of my professors said the media was controlled by corporations. At the time, they also began collecting phone numbers for grocery store rewards and "other stuff."(pun intended)
At the time, the Internet felt free from corporate influence and I was bullish on freedom. I asked my professor, "Do you think the Internet could change things?"
She said, "It's too early to tell."
About ten years later, the corporations took over the Internet.
I'm on nostr because it reminds me of the Internet in 1995. It feels like we're taking control back from the corporations. I suspect they will come eventually. In some ways they are already here, but the difference is the corporations can't keep the plebs from running their own relays.
I also have a different perspective on the corporations now. I now see the CEO's like Jack want to do the right thing and often share my vision of what the Internet could be, but are themselves victims of government censorship.
That's why I'm here.
Power to the People!
