I am about as far as one can get from a technosolutionist thinker, as should be blindingly obvious from my entire career and body of work, and I find it extremely odd that some read my post about the importance of federated social media and assumed I meant “and I believe tech will fix everything!”

my impression of both atproto and the fediverse has and remains that blind faith in technology to solve social incohesion is foolish

Of course I don’t believe technology is a magical solution to social problems. I also think it’s bizarre to condemn literally all attempts to make technology less bad as utopian technosolutionist thinking. We can in fact do multiple things at once.
