    Well, the original luddites didn’t oppose all recent tech innovation, just the tech that made their lives worse. The Amish use tractors and air compressors. Similarly, maybe a neoluddite opposes AI but not the internet. Or maybe the actual primitivists aren’t in the community at all, and we use the space to talk about whether they should be and why or why not.

    In point of fact this conversation we’re having now is a perfect example of discussing and critiquing return to monke, so you should post this there.

    Or maybe you just want a place to shitpost a meme about the sweet irony of online primitivism.

      Sounds like a place. I’m a neoluddite who earns her income online. Not bite the hand that feeds me? Sometimes I’m too feral for that.

        I think returntomonke could be a place you can belong. More memes than discussion at the moment, but I hope to build real community as membership grows.
