Why abandon Twitter then?

Why would I want to put anything into Threads or Bluesky? They are just other centralized networks with a corporate owner wanting to financially exploit my contributions.

There are many but if I have to name just one it would be the godfather.

I was a couple of months old

I'm drinking my fourth beer of the afternoon as I write this. Does that count?

In a small town in Spain, in the '80s only my father worked in a less qualified position than mine, at my age he already had an apartment, two children and a month's vacation on a nearby beach. My wife and I work in more qualified positions, We live in rent with an only daughter and I am lucky when I can pay for a week somewhere quiet

It's true, I shouldn't have said we have, I should have said we had. Since the 80s, everything has been dismantled, making everything worse, both right and left. Comparing ourselves to other parts of the world we are not so bad, but comparing my living conditions with those of my parents it is shameful.

Create a state that cared for and protected the majority, things like insured retirement, paid vacations, universal health insurance, In Europe we have all that, in the USA it was thought that they were rich enough not to need it and it may have been like that for decades, but it seems that not anymore.

If the system takes care of you, you are not going to sign up to destroy it, If the system doesn't give you anything, you won't care if it is destroyed or you will even sign up to do it.

Yeah, I guess you could be right.

Yes, surely, but there is an underlying problem for this entire system, there is no economically viable alternative to the use of data for advertising sales, without that all those websites cease to be profitable.I don't think this is good for anyone.

facebook and instagram? I don't know about the rest of Europe, but in Spain right now practically all newspapers/digital media have copied that model and you either accept cookies or pay

Yes, but I mean leaving the planetary system not only with isolated elements, but with parts of our civilization.
