Just one more example of why the world has to disassociate from American tech as rapidly as possible.

Minor asterisk: we need to move away from abusive tech business practices altogether. It’s distressing how people can see the problem and recreate it like with Bluesky. I hope we can build better systems now rather than doing this all over again with european monopolists in 10 years.

Ah, yes. Anti-capitalist software like Yandex and Baidu are so much better…
What the world needs are federated, distributed systems like www, email, and the fediverse

Just because they operate out of China, that doesn’t make them anti-capitalist. Frankly, despite its name, China has a capitalist economy, just with much stronger authoritarianism than most.
