Dear @elgeko, I agree with you on the general idea. Or I wouldn’t be on this platform.

As an artist, I am obsessed with questions about labor conditions, the artist's precarity and alternative production/distribution processes. I think that centralized networks seriously damage the cultural productions and exploit people by surveilling, censoring and selling users’ data. This is an unbearable situation. I don't consent to this control over my life and art. Furthermore it is true that refusing to take part in these networks produces a real (and not only a « virtual ») form of social exclusion. (The on-/offline borders are irrelevant, but that’s another story.) The problem is that this exploitation is a self-exploitation issue. This knowledge is based on several personal experiences of refusal/withdrawal.

I thank you for sharing your thoughts, because social change can happen only through solidarity and cooperation.

You say that it is honest because I "can go and look at your wallet…". This is true. But the reality is that it is very difficult to understand the information. Who has access to these tools and knowledges? Who is able to orientate themselves in the network? Maybe you feel, by reading between the lines, my anger and radical position.

The future of decentralized networks will happen only with the inclusion of minorities.

Thank you for sharing the link about the « bitbotplace » https://steembottracker.com/. But I get totally lost! (I am not saying that being lost is « bad ».) I understand that one needs to be seen to survive on this platform. Like In Real Life. This is done by playing with numbers. How liberating can our DIGITal life be? Are you ready to calculate your life?

I invite you, dear @elgeko, to follow me, and upvote my previous posts @enbyx <3
