This is a great article. I'm gently, slowly crawling out of the cave I've been hiding in. For a few years now I've kept away from all social media. I got freaked by a revelation that all of the techno joy I had growing up for the amazing new tools of the internet, was built on shady foundations. From my cave I have witnessed these horrors. I crave the community, and the connection, though, and so am tentatively taking measured steps. Starting here, maybe mastodon.. we'll see. Hope to see some of you along the way.
