I miss the era when we didn't have to include any of the ff:
- "Comments are my own, not my employer's."
- "Reshare ≠ endorsement."
- "I only represent myself."
- "only me"
In our era, people understand simple things and don't create fiction like accusing one that they acted on behalf of their employer. In many sci-fi stories, the more "advanced" a society becomes, the less they understand simple things and the more they assume incorrectly.
Intergalactic societies rely on the primitive earthlings to solve something because they are no longer capable of thinking in simple terms and their brains automatically assume this and that as the logical path or solution. Earthlings can do it because they're still primitive.
That same idea applies to within Earthling society.
For example, in one country, they cried foul and forced a fictional TV series to be cancelled because they supposedly disrespected a national and historical icon despite the show explicitly and visibly stating, "This is fictional and a work of art." South-East Asians (who they looked down and treat less than them), were baffled because, it's **fiction**!
It's the same in the social media space. You have to state the obvious. In fact, even if you state the obvious, if they want to bring you down, they will.
Crazy times to live in! 😝
Good thing I did more research on straws. In the end, glass straws and steel/metal straws are not worth it. Silicone is still the best option, or Tritan™ brand.
Now, where can I find a Tritan branded straw (which is better than Silicone). I can't find any in #Shopee #Philippines .
Something you won't see discussed re: the #USA striking #Iran : spillovers.
What might happen next:
- the USA strikes North #Korea
- #China escalate the East China Sea & South China Sea issues
- China attack #Israel & #US allies to protect its interests in Iran
- The #AxisOfEvil activates
- China can also choose to escalate the war between #India and #Pakistan
- there is still the war between #Russia and #Ukraine
You won't see it discussed because #PacificAsia & the larger #AsiaPacific don't matter to most people saying their piece about the wars in the #MiddleEast .
Now that the USA joined the war against Iran, we are now dangerously close to #WorldWarIII #WorldWar3 #WWIII #WW3 , it all comes down to the next action of the freaking colonial mentality USA and superstitious China (a.k.a. Dragon Emperor myth).
If there is anything missing in all these Decentralised, Distributed, Federated, Open Network discussions it is this: Asians, Africans, Latin America, and half of Europe.
Almost all articles and mudslinging between the Fediverse, ATmosphere, Meta, Twitter / X, revolves around the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, and France. I have yet to see any analyst, journalist, and debaters, actually see these different networks, software, and platforms from a real global perspective.
- Bluesky is this and that (they're not even talking about the ATmosphere network, just Bluesky).
- Mastodon is this and that (they're not talking about the Fediverse network either, just Mastodon®).
- Everyone who are still using Twitter / X are this and that.
It's always from the lens of someone living in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and France.
The true global users don't care. Asians are still using Twitter / X not because Asians are fascists, pro-Elon, Nazis, or whatever, Asians are still using it because what you think is an important factor to leave Twitter / X is virtually non-existent as a reason for Asians.
The same goes with the constant attacks and mudslinging between Fediverse and ATmosphere purists. Your reasons only matter to you. Most people from Asia and Africa don't understand your reasons.
If you seriously want for everyone to leave Twitter / X, you have to reframe your mindset and upgrade your marketing message.
If you want for people to leave Bluesky or Mastodon (seriously, it's ATmosphere or Fediverse), change the way you think and target the largest Social network market in terms of number of users and activeness.
For example, as long as fandoms are in Twitter / X, people will keep using it.
Fandoms are growing in Bluesky but not in "Mastodon". Meta understood this, so they did that for Threads, tap Instagram accounts.
Planning. Strategy. Marketing.
