Thanks for striking

Larry Sanger

Let me express my extreme gratitude to everyone who signed the Declaration of Digital Independence and went on social media strike July 4 and/or 5. I’d also like to thank the many reporters who picked up this story.

I’m cognizant that this attention represented some trust of me, i.e., that I wouldn’t hijack this movement for selfish and profit-making ends. I’ve been a heavy social media user since the late 2000s and I’m basically just a disgruntled customer. Since from my small platform I can help organize people online, I thought it was my duty to try to do so. Let me reiterate that I don’t want to start or join an organization or represent any social media company, etc. My interests lie 100% with the users. It is now easy to see the massive latent user demand for decentralized social media, and I want to keep pushing into motion its mass adoption.

Tomorrow or the next day I’ll have a couple new posts for you with a more detailed debriefing and suggestions for next steps. If you want to give me (and everyone reading) some advice, please feel free to use the discussion below for that purpose!
