• Sommario/riassunto: Wir sitzen alle in der Plattformfalle! Doomscrolling ist die neue Normalität des digitalisierten 24/7-Online-Lebens und scheinbar abhängig von großen Plattformen finden wir nicht mehr ins unbeschwerte Zeitalter dezentraler Netzwerke zurück: Zoom-Müdigkeit, Cancel Culture, Kryptokunst und psychische Regression bilden die zentralen Elemente einer allgemeinen Theorie der ; Plattformkultur. Geert Lovink zeigt auf, wie wir in dieser Kultur das Internet zu unseren Bedingungen zurückgewinnen können. Er zeichnet eine rückfallbeständige Geschichte vom Aufstieg von Plattformalternativen nach, die auf einem tiefen Verständnis des digitalen Abstiegs beruht.; Besprochen in: PAGE, 9 (2022) www.dahms-projekt.de, 20.08.2022, Peter Dahms
