They all look the same to me

As an artist, the time and attention social medias demand, including to some extent bluesky takes away from my time to sit in boredom and be creative. This past month has been my most productive, and I finally picked up my art projects again.

For me especially as a Jamaican, the domination of feeds everywhere by US news is counter productive. Yes US news affects everyone globally, but some more than others. It doesn’t do me good to be constantly plugged into US news cycles when I barely know what’s going on in my own country.

But I wonder this because most people have no concern for how their data is being used, how their attention is being exploited, how they are being manipulated, by these companies. And the companies seem to have won whatever war we had for privacy, data sovereignty, and digital rights.

I can't help but wonder if privacy is dead, or if it's on its deathbed. My main reason for setting up these alternatives for myself and my community is more about divesting from big tech companies who have shown themselves to be at odds with our best interests.

It won't "fix the Earth" but it is a part of the fix that no one wants to address seriously.

Obviously Number 1 is to get fossil fuel burning out of the economy.

And I'm in the UK not the USA.
