When even Cory Doctrow starts to sound like an optimist I have to give myself a reality check as it usually means I’m heading off the deep end. But in this case it just rubs me the wrong way that he talks about Mastodon and Bluesky in the same breath – one is not like the other.
Doctorow has never been a practical thinker. That’s just not what he does.
and thats ok. some great work has been done making the impractical practical. the article was a good think piece. it did its job.
