@oluOnline it was built by nerds on anarchist principles. And so many of those same nerds are still working hard building and maintaining open source software. Just because capitalists got their grubby hands on it doesn't mean it is all bad, even i can be pessimistic abt it sometimes. But i look at places like Wikipedia and Mastodon and I know the capitalists can't erase the beautiful gift economy that made the web so profitable in the first place. When all their companies drown in the rising tides, the rank and file tech workers will still be bringing people together with mesh networks and satellites.
