Medienwissenschaftler Martin Andree zu großen Plattformen vs. Demokratie.
Hatte gehofft, dass er das Fediverse auch erwähnt, hat er aber leider nicht. Sein Vorschlag ist im Prinzip, große Plattformen mehr wie Medien zu behandeln, also keine Monopole zuzulassen, rechtliche Verantwortung für die Inhalte einzufordern und so.
Hat mich nicht sooo überzeugt, denn solche Anforderungen würden denke ich v. a. erstmal das Fedi platt machen.

Unsere 7 Thesen:
1️⃣ In dem Fall steckt großes Lernpotenzial für alle Beteiligten. Nutzen wir es.
2️⃣ Wird das #Fediverse zB als "Alternative" in die Kategorie #SocialMedia einsortiert, ist es für KPI-orientierte Menschen nicht konkurrenzfähig.
3️⃣ Der enge Blick auf, von #BigTech definierte #Reichweite, bremst digital souveräne, öffentliche Netzwerke.
