Web search is useless. YouTube is useless. Social media, more like parasocial media. Knowledge hidden in Discord servers. Ads everywhere. LLM hallucinations everywhere. And people generally don't care. I don't see how this situation can be salvaged.
@volpeon I don't think it's "don't care" so much as "everybody individually feels they can't fix it anyway so they choose to accept it and work around it"
@volpeon Sorry, I didn't end up completing that thought... basically it's the same thing I've seen in a lot of political circles, where a complete lack of community and solidarity is what keeps change from occurring because the bar to *organizing* that change is too high for any one person, and building up sustainable solidarity is the only way to deal with that across the board, starting very very small if needed
