Hm, nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqt8u7s2z2e8j5gdup94s7kjyjxqle03hekumc3kmd0ppermdwsqrsz54hqr (nprofile…4hqr) has published WE ARE GOING TO KILL “UNALIVE” at https://www.anildash.com/2026/10/06/kill-unalive/ - you might enjoy it. Two things:
1. There’s a whole book on the subject called “Algospeak”, where the first chapter is entitled Why Your Kids Are Saying “Unalive”, read about it at https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2026/03/05/Because-Algospeak#p-2
2. Weirdly, Anil doesn't mention the Fediverse or Mastodon, which is currently the largest sustained effort to free online conversation from the tyranny of the advertisers’ algorithm. Disappointing.
