Good arguments by Cory Doctorow (npub1fdr…lvhs) on why we need to focus on liberating people who are forcibly locked into Big Tech.
> #Mastodon 's progenitors should be praised for ensuring their creation was born free – but the fact that #Bluesky isn't free enough is no reason to turn our back on it. Our response to anything that locks in the people we care about must be to *shatter those locks*, not abandon the people bound by the locks because they didn't heed to our warnings.
