I need some inspiration on how to make more use of my Matrix server. I found only 2 advantages so far. The first one is, not having to install the client apps of each BigTech corp and eliminating surveillance by these apps (...although this is sort of invalidated by the fact that I need those apps when I need to take a call from friends). The second one is that I can have whatsapp on multiple devices. There has to be more to this.

Kennt ihr schon #Whatnot? Die Live-Shopping-App schafft gerade das Undenkbare: Live-Shopping in der westlichen Welt. Bislang war das eine ganz klar asiatische Domäne. Der Grund für ihren Erfolg könnte allerdings darin gründen, das sie quasi alle Mechanismen ausnutzen, um Zuschauer zu binden, ganz egal wie negativ die Effekte sein mögen. Ich hab dazu etwas aufgeschrieben: https://www.absatzwirtschaft.de/live-shopping-auf-whatnot-willkommen-im-digitalen-rausch-279703/ #socialmediaverbot #socialmedia #liveshopping #sucht

„Eine ganze Generation ist zum Versuchslabor der Plattformökonomie geworden“, schreibt Carsten Knop #FAZ(€). Doch ein Verbot für U16 bekämpft Symptome. Wer Identitätspflicht fordert, öffnet Überwachung Tür und Tor. Stattdessen: Produktregulierung, restriktive Defaults, Schluss mit algorithmischer Manipulation. #Jugendschutz #EU #SocialMedia https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurt/debatte-um-social-media-verbot-die-illusion-der-digitalen-prohibition-200501299.html
