A poem for the socmed people
15/10/2017 § 1 Comment
roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you
and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops
it cares not about
if privacy’s harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed
twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you

Nolan Lawson’s 23 October blogpost, “What is Mastodon and why is it better than Twitter“, Read the Tea Leaves
——————————–
Instagram: My life is a party.
Snapchat: My life is a quirky TV show.
Facebook: My life turned out great!
Twitter: We’re all going to die.
Mastodon: Don’t worry, while we are on a quirky, meandering path towards an inevitable apocalypse, we might as well enjoy the ride and show eachother some love in an unorthodox, yet irresistible manner, not in any way hindered by considerations of style, identity or consistency.
Nice poem! 🙂
