I talked to @willoremus.com about #FreeOurFeeds. Now is the right time, and these are the right folks. We can’t let this opportunity to build something incredible go to waste.
![Pariser said the moves are timely given the recent changes at tech giants spurred by Trump’s election.
“Anytime you have singular centralized control, you’ll have [tech leaders] swinging around in the wind based on what they think is best for them at that moment,” he said. “Our social media systems shouldn’t be dependent on that.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tac52vxk74ms5cvghd34c3pz/bafkreia5gicw5kbka2g2kfynox43heeom4iflrk4cw43vh3brny7q4mbau@jpeg)

A very compelling chart showing the relationship between access to "third spaces" and loneliness. People who can't easily access third spaces like libraries and parks and coffee shops (top bar) are 3X as likely to have no close friends as people who do.

This chart from the AEI is crazy distressing.
In 1990, about 50% of Americans without a college degree had at least six close friends. In just three decades, that has plummeted to 17%. It's an enormous rupture in our social fabric -- and one that being working class exacerbates.
