# To think that the problem in this whole debacle is Facebook’s business model is to think that subscription fees - the only non-advertising alternative -would be better. The real problem here is the *absence* of non-corporate, alternative infrastructures for organizing our lives. ( twitter.com/_/status/975635952419966978)

# 10 years ago: http://epeus.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/how-not-to-be-viral.html “At the Facebook developer Garage last week, I heard a developer say: when I hear 'viral' applied to software I replace it with 'cancerous' to clarify.”
Sadly, that developer left Facebook. #Indieweb ( twitter.com/_/status/975914993865469952)

# @dubber Here are some screenshots of exactly that! https://aaronparecki.com/2018/03/12/17/building-an-indieweb-reader We've been making a lot of progress on this over the last few years! I do post on my blog every day thanks to this interface too! :-) ( twitter.com/_/status/976146405982068736)
# @sivavaid There _is_ a movement that's been building over the past few years called the #IndieWeb that is encouraging exactly this thing. They're creating new, easier-to-use, and open technology to replace what we've lost: https://indieweb.org/lost_infrastructure ( twitter.com/_/status/976149954803707904)

# @film_girl @elforesto Assuming you mean OpenID? I had completely forgotten about that! I even had it (partially?) implemented it on my server. But like most #indieweb initiatives, installing it was a high barrier to entry for non-techies. Not for lack of trying though—remember http://Chi.mp? ( twitter.com/_/status/976176713112662017)

# Disagreed. The fact that FB is more powerful than most governments does not tell me to make one of the worlds closest ecosystems even "better".
It tells me to demand from my government to assure an independent web and to demand data protection from FB. #indieweb @DoroBaer https://twitter.com/EthanZ/status/976175744274624512 ( twitter.com/_/status/976179428471558144)
# #Breaking: FTC probing Facebook for use of personal data: report https://buff.ly/2FQPMQg
No matter what the FTC does, we should all re-think our dependence on any social silo with a biz model based on collecting and selling our data. See #indieweb for alternatives. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DYwWy5dXkAAGtwt.jpg ( twitter.com/_/status/976180284663181313)

# @EthanZ @DoroBaer I see. –"And I'm doing my share of work on open platforms"– off course - just did not get the "make facebook better". Do not make facebook better.

# @jgkoomey @judell This is the general idea behind the #indieweb movement: https://indieweb.org
For the price of registering your own domain and some hosting, you can run your own website and still interact with other websites in an open and distributed manner. ( twitter.com/_/status/976243326339993600)
