#geekproblem created this mess, #geekproblem cannot fix this mess.
The #geekproblem built the #dotcons The #geekproblem played its role in destroying alt-media and the #openweb
The #fahernistas embraced the mess for sugar and spices.
Shovels and composting come to mind - I use the shovel metaphor because its our sweat and work that will get us out of this mess.
The is no magic tech fix, it's a human problem that needs humane crew to solve it.
The #geekproblm blocking humanity.

Speaking of #humanProblems. Does anyone on Fedi know someone at #Wikimedia (#Wikipedia).
We are now actively being blocked from making edits over Tor. An admin named Taivo is saying we haven't made enough edits outside of Tor, for our reputation to be known.
Having to use other systems to stay anonymous is oft unworkable.
Frustrating.
Please boost so someone at #WikimediaCommons sees this and can help. Our talk page:

@witchescauldron I see this as related to the Hard PET/Soft PET distinction. Managing trust in a particular social context, as "Soft PETs" do, rather than just trying to engineer it out in a worst-case analysis, is an overlooked topic.
Here's a slide from George Danezis's privacy class. He's partial to Hard PETs, for a more critical perspective I like Batya Friedman.
I don't understand #geekproblem more generally, though. Is it a broader idea?
(sorry, re-drafted for clarity)

The #geekproblem need for "control" is a #blocking of our humanity.
