       I see a lot of people believe there is no way to have #privacy online. Corporations have pushed so hard that many are persuaded and disillusioned.Privacy-compliant alternative software exists and it's up to you to choose and promote it.Tracking tools are not required but wanted technologies: it is not something inevitable inside a software.When you see it that way, your approach to software change and you will also learn to love #ethical software as you know how to appreciate organic food.

       @emanuele what are the top reasons people decide to use a specific software / network / social network?network effect (everybody uses it) and dopamin (getting a lot of attention is fun)?

       @mk AFAIK #Mastodon is trying to fight this approach to social media engagement (you can see how favourite or boosts counters are hidden in your timeline).[Maybe you replied to the wrong toot]

       @emanuele no. i didn't reply to the wrong post.you said: "it's up to you to choose and promote it."then i tried to find out why people choose software/networks.my theorie is that its based on network effect and how that software makes them feel (dopamin release)do you think thats correct?

       @mk uh ok, I got it. But you are still open to choose by yourself and getting educated to select which platform fits best you ethics. I know network effects will play their hand but it’s all under your own control in the end.If I did it, anybody can do it.

       @emanuele "getting educated to select which platform fits best you ethics[..]If I did it, anybody can do it."most people don't see any problems with big centralized tec. there is nothing obviously negative for them.

       @emanuele Exactly. Good options exist and all it takes to find them is the will to change your behavior and to seek them out.

       @PublicLewdness @emanuele Great post! I'm a web dev and run my own company. I spend a lot of time explaining my clients why they should NOT use Google Analytics, Facebook & Twitter buttons but some privacy-friendly options (like plausible.io). But it is almost as unpromising as explaining to someone who has no idea why you shouldn't use Microsoft Office.What I hear - among other things - is: 1) But, it is free2) But, everyone is using it3) But, I fear Google will downrank my website if I remove Google AnalyticsIn the minds of normal people, there is no world outside Google Search & Analytics.
