Hoi, ik ben Niels. Ik maakte touchgrass.network omdat ik het beu was dat ik op Instagram mijn eigen vrienden niet terugvond, op Facebook verdronk in AI-slop, en geen zin had om elke keer vanaf nul te moeten beginnen.
We've all heard about the Pope's "Encyclical on AI" by now. But it goes broader, not only talking about AI, but also about "'not the State, but rather major economic and technological actors that exercise de facto power over the conditions of everyday life,' actors that monopolise 'expertise, data and decision-making authority.'" Something that we still quietly seem to accept every day.

This very insightful article talks about how subsidiarity and solidarity should govern social platforms, instead of absolute power and monopoly.
