subtitle: The Platform is the Problem
title: README
---
*The platform is the Problem* is an open source publication produced
with free / open source software and fonts. Use has been made of the
ConTeXt typesetting system due to its precision.
# The short version
``` fish
$ fish install-context.fish
$ fish install-fonts.sh
$ fish compile.fish
```
The remainder of this document outlines how to contribute to the
publication and make your own version.
# How to contribute to this publication
There are many ways to contribute to this publication. The following
protocol details one way amongst many to create your own version of *The
Platform is the Problem*.
## Download and install ConTeXt luametatex
ConTeXt luametatex is required to typeset the pdf version of *The
Platform is the Problem*. To download and install ConTeXt luametatex
visit <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation>. Alternatively, if
you are a Linux user, you can run the script install-context.sh which is
included in this repository. This will install Context luametatex and
its modules within \~/Applications/. Ensure to add the executables to
your path.
## Installing fonts: Bitter and Compagnon Light
Bitter and Compagnon Light are libre fonts which we have used throughout
the publication. In order to typeset in these fonts, and assuming you
are a Linux user, run the script install-fonts.sh. You will need to have
installed ConTeXt luametatex, wget and git to execute the script
successfully. If you are not running Linux, you may need to follow the
script manually. In which case, to enable these fonts it is necessary
to:
1. Create appropriate subdirectories within your ConTeXt distribution.
2. Copy fonts/type-imp-bitter.mkxl and fonts/type-imp-compagnon.mkxl to
the appropriate location in your ConTeXt distribution.
3. Download the libre fonts from the web and install them into your
system for use with LibreOffice Draw
4. Make it possible to use the fonts in ConTeXt by passing various
arguments to mtxrun.
## Copying the ConTeXt template
The template for a feature page can be found in the contrib directory.
The file, named template.mkxl, is comprised of macros specific to the
ConTeXt luametatex typesetting software. Each feature page in the src
subdirectories are based upon this template. You might like to edit one
of the examples in contrib/examples. If not, determine the name and page
number of the feature you would like to contribute. For example, the
feature might be \'Privacy Policy\' and the page number might be 24.
Inside the contrib directory create a subdirectory called, for instance,
\'24-privacy-policy\'. Copy the template.mkxl to that subdirectory and
call it, for example, \'24-privacy-policy.mkxl\'. The reason for placing
.mkxl files inside folders is largely due to neatness. ConTeXt generates
auxiliary files when compiling .pdf documents and, if these files are
not purged, this can quickly become messy.
## Typesetting your contribution
Each entry in *The Platform is the Problem* is composed of three parts:
- Feature
- Implications
- Alternatives / Anecdote
It is suggested write no more than 123 words for each part. Otherwise,
there is the possibility that the copy may not fit inside the frame.
Replace the placeholder text in the copy of template.mkxl with the
appropriate information. The following table outlines on which lines
placeholder text appears and what it should be replaced with.
Placeholder Line(s) Replace with
------------------ ------------ ---------------------------------------------
PAGENUMBER 41, 46, 52 The page number
TITLE 73 The name of the feature
FEATURECOPY 79 A description of the feature
IMPLICATIONSCOPY 86 A discussion of implications of the feature
ALTERNATIVESCOPY 93 Some alternatives to this feature
### Ensuring copy fits within the frame
As each page is physically cut into thirds it\'s worth double checking
that your copy will fit in the available space. Here is an excerpt from
template.mkxl (lines 75 to 88).
``` lmtx
\definelayer[head]
[x=30mm,y=10mm,width=99mm,height=60mm]
\setlayer[head]
{\switchtobodyfont[bitter,9pt] \framed[width=99mm,height=60mm,frame=off,align={tolerant,width,hz,hanging}]{\kerncharacters[0.03125]{
FEATURECOPY
}}}
\definelayer[torso]
[x=30mm,y=80mm,width=99mm,height=60mm]
\setlayer[torso]
{\switchtobodyfont[bitter,9pt] \framed[width=99mm,height=60mm,frame=off,align={tolerant,width,hz,hanging}]{\kerncharacters[0.03125]{
IMPLICATIONSCOPY
}}}
```
To ensure that copy will fit on the page when it is cut, activate the
\"bottomframe\" for the head and torso layers. In other words, change
lines 78 and 85 so that they read as follows:
``` lmtx
{\switchtobodyfont[bitter,9pt] \framed[width=99mm,height=60mm,frame=off,bottomframe=on,align={tolerant,width,hz,hanging}]{\kerncharacters[0.03125]{
```
Save the mkxl file and run context on it. Check the output pdf document.
If the copy fits within the frame, remove the \"bottomframe=on\" option,
save the file and recompile. Otherwise, edit the copy and recompile
until it fits.
## Adding your contribution to platform-is-the-problem.mkxl
platform-is-the-problem.mkxl is a file which collates pages from
different .pdf documents and assembles them into one file. It lives in
the src directory. Here is some sample code from
platform-is-the-problem.mkxl.
``` lmtx
\externalfigure[{./21-blocking-content/21-blocking-content.pdf}]
\externalfigure[{./22-curating-content/22-curating-content.pdf}]
\externalfigure[{../maps/maps.pdf}][page=22]
\externalfigure[{../maps/maps.pdf}][page=21]
\externalfigure[{./23-customisation-of-profile/23-customisation-of-profile.pdf}]
\pagebreak[+2]
\externalfigure[{../maps/maps.pdf}][page=23]
```
What is this code doing? The first two \'`\externalfigure`{=latex}\'
commands instruct ConTeXt to insert into the main typesetting area two
feature pages: 21 - Blocking Content and 22 - Curating Content. These
features are single-page pdf documents. The next two
\'`\externalfigure`{=latex}\' commands instruct ConTeXt to typeset two
further images: page 22 and page 21 of maps.pdf. Note the order of the
pages across the first four \'`\externalfigure`{=latex}\' commands: 21,
22, 22, 21. This micro-structure is required to ensure that the map
printed on the reverse of the feature page corresponds to the feature
itself. You might like to experiment with this layout for a different
reading experience or keep it as is.
The third \'`\externalfigure`{=latex}\' command instructs ConTeXt to
typeset feature 23. As this is the last page and it is an odd number,
it\'s necessary to add two blank pages in between the feature and the
corresponding map. This ensures that the map is on the reverse side of
the feature when the document is printed.
Suppose you have written a contribution and would like to add the
feature to the publication. The following code snippet expands on the
above example to illustrates how that can be done.
``` lmtx
\externalfigure[{./23-customisation-of-profile/23-customisation-of-profile.pdf}]
\externalfigure[{../contrib/24-privacy-policy/24-privacy-policy.pdf}]
\externalfigure[{../maps/maps.pdf}][page=24]
\externalfigure[{../maps/maps.pdf}][page=23]
```
## Making a map
Complementing each feature is a map which is printed on the reverse of
the page. Short-side flipping should be enabled when it comes to
printing the document. This is to ensure that the map which appears on
the reverse side of the feature corresponds to that feature. The maps
have been made with Libreoffice Draw and a map-framework.odg file is
included to assist with making your own maps. The idea behind the maps
is that the \"cross-points\" align on every page. This entails that,
when the document is cut and bound, the maps line up with each other to
produce many possible variations. Throughout the publication rounded
rectangles and curved connectors have been put to use. You may like to
follow this aesthetic for consistency or mix it up for a different
effect. If you installed the libre fonts correctly, it should be
possible to select these from within Libreoffice Draw. To create your
own map, open the map-framework.odg file. Select all the elements on the
page and copy them to the clipboard. Next, open maps.odg and navigate to
the last page. This can be done via the menu bar through Page \>
Navigate \> To Last Page. Create a new page via the menu bar with Page
\> New Page. Paste the contents of the clipboard onto the new page and
design your map. When you have finished you may like to rename your page
to the name of your feature. This can be done through the menu bar (Page
\> Rename Page). Once you are satisfied with your design, you may like
to delete the framework objects; the two horizontal lines traversing the
page. Do you prefer more organic curves? If so, you might like to rotate
the four short vertical lines by 90 degrees and align the connectors
before deleting the four, short (now horizontal) lines. After the
framework lines have been deleted, export the odg drawing as a pdf
document.

Without downloadability, you are forced to stay on the platform to receive information and absorb content. You can only share things with friends who are also on the platform, and if you have Wi-Fi. The worst part being that people have come to think of this as the norm due to the rise of streaming services such as Spotify, Mixcloud, Netflix, HBO Max, Disney + and the list goes on. But there was a time when stored files of all kinds on portable devices were transmitted to people directly, without sending a link that leads to an app. In especially malicious cases, people are not able to access the content at all without an account on that platform.

There are many ways to bypass this, some more successful than others. Numerous convertor platforms exist: y2mate.com for downloading stuff off of YouTube, innertube serves the same purpose (but is in fact yet another app, albeit one without ads). Craft your own scraping scripts for downloading stuff off YouTube, Dailymotion, and Vimeo. However, this might be quite time consuming, especially if you do not have the skillset needed. The simpler option would be to look into the yt-dlp command which can be run in your terminal. Besides, privacy policies, APIs and verification steps of platforms get updated regularly, which means you might have to update your script just as much.

To send someone a private message is to communicate with them directly. Some platforms emphasise the implementation of end-to-end encryption. In being made aware of this, users are reassured of the privacy of their conversation. Sometimes it's possible to respond to messages in non-textual ways such as with emojis. From Internet Relay Chat to Instagram, private messaging augments and mediates interpersonal communication. Different registers are used in private messages depending on the circumstances and purpose of the correspondence. Private messaging is not ubiquitous, some platforms lack private messaging systems. This makes user-to-user communication on the platform challenging but not impossible.

The behaviour of the return key can be a source of anxiety when sending private messages. Will pressing enter create a newline or send the message?

When this is the case is it possible to view the edit history? Does the timestamp of the message update when the message is edited? Sometimes it's not possible to know the behaviour of the return key beforehand because sending a private message to yourself is not possible.

Communicate using playlists. A string of songs in a playlist is a word unit. The first letter of each song corresponds to each letter in the word. One podcast is a word boundary, two podcasts: over. Begin responses with a song by the same artist. This signals to your interlocutor which message you are responding to. It also allows the conversation to be led, to some extent, by the artists. Apply a genre to each word to emphasise tone of voice. It's important to hold non-playlist-based communication with your interlocutor alongside this form of communication. Establish and agree upon shared modes of expression and try them out, discuss the experience afterwards.

With free circulation of content, users have agency to interact with each other’s ideas and there are more chances for shared dialogue across the platform.

Reactions are gestural responses to content. They are symbolic and affective interactions. Possible opportunities to react are designated by the platform. Reactions are attached to platform phenomena—they are individual yet aggregated and quantified. This quantification can mean a lot of things: relevance, virality, popularity, negative and positive attraction alike. A notification might accompany the reaction. Reactions can be revoked or altered attesting to their ephemeral quality. Platforms may offer a broad or narrow set of symbols with which to react to content. Replying with text is not a reaction, it is a response. The relationship between reactions and content tends towards reinforcing content in positive ways.

The expressive capabilities of reactions are medium-specific. Meaning is approximated in terms of the relationship between emojis (or symbols) and the associated content.

Deplatforming is a conspicuous act, it should be and often is a last resort. The effects of deplatforming have potentially negative strategic implications. Those who have been deplatformed have something in common and could self-organise elsewhere, posing a larger problem. The platforms these users build in search of a space online to spread the information they have been deplatformed for might become vital points of organization for them as communities. This can have catastrophic real-world consequences. There is a need to deradicalise, in an ethical way, users who spread harmful content on platforms, without deplatforming being the only viable solution.

One could say that if a platform has this feature enabled it's already bad in and of itself. And a lot of social media platforms are based on scrolling as a main interaction feature (Twitter (...

Group messaging enables many individuals to exchange with each other en masse and is primarily textual. Platforms afford participants in group conversations different privileges. For example, administrators may have the power to remove others from the group. If all members of the group have the same privileges, then some imbalances are reduced. Group messaging can coexist alongside more public avenues of communication. They are useful for organising within the group and sharing information such as files and hyperlinks.

There has been a lot of criticism of anonymity online. Prominently, people often refer to it as a culprit for why people are mean, discriminating, and outspoken online—they don't face the consequences of people associating what they've said with them as a person. Equally, anonymity provides a blanket of safety for those needing to protect their identity at times. Think of people who are already marginalized and might need to hide their identity even online - these people have historically benefited from creating anonymous communities of mutual aid on platforms that allow for it. An example of this is the community of trans people on Tumblr that was able to thrive and provide resources for one another despite being closeted.

Exclusivity is the outcome of an agreement. Video streaming platforms often have exclusive content, as do some music streaming services. In 2010 The Beatles' catalogue appeared exclusively on iTunes. Nowadays, Stranger Things can only be watched on Netflix. These contracts and arrangements attract users to platforms, they are advertisements. Content makers may make content specifically for subscribers and seek to monetise their creations through platforms such as Patreon.

Platforms should seek new ways to keep a platform running that does not include unsolicited advertising. Tumblr, for instance has a shop which includes many of inside jokes from the communities that blog there. You as a user, should seek adblockers, either on their own, or built into search engines (such as Duckduckgo or Tor) or browser (Brave). There is always a likelihood that a platform or website will not allow you to see their content without enabling ads. If that ends up being the case you really have to ask whether they're worth it. One example of radical ad removal is installing a Pi-Hole, which blocks ads on all the devices in your home.

They were a great tool in alternative ways of exploring the web. Websites were linked to each other and had a master website that hosted all of the link collections so that nothing would get lost when one of the websites dies. This created a different ethos online, centred around surfing rather than staying on the platform. Let's bring Webrings back!!

According to Indieweb, there are several reasons why POSSE is a pragmatic approach to distributing material online.

The ability to curate your content exists different on several social media platforms. Some offer the ability to tag your content and,later, to navigate through those tags. Others have a feature for grouping content in sections, playlists, and the like. Others still allow for a searchable archive of your posts to exist.

Each of the curation options have their own set of benefits and pitfalls. Some might be easier to find your content on. Others might allow for more playful ways of categorising that's not based on category so much as an overall vibe. Categorisation provides users agency and reflection when thinking about their digital footprint. Ideally, rather than steering users into endless curation of their identity online so that it would be perceived in a desired way, categorisation should inspire curious associations to arise.

Although not a social media platform, Are.na offers interesting examples and experiments in curating content online. Users on Are.na group "blocks" based on self-chosen themes. Users can take other users blocks and implement them into their own collections, sometimes there are collections within collections. Collections often feature mixtures of memes, theory, art, excerpts of thoughts and more. Although Are.na could be criticized for having a limit set that can only be bypassed by paying for a premium account, what it offers in terms of curation is nonetheless valuable.

Customisation of the look of a user's profile used to be a built-in feature of many platforms in the early to late 00s. Both Tumblr and Myspace had an emphasis on individual expression. Users were provided with the agency to decorate their profile as if it were their teenage bedroom wall. It was not merely a matter of changing ones avatar and the header behind it, it was possible to change the entire space surrounding it. In some cases it was possible to tinker with the source code that makes these changes. (A feature Tumblr supported)

Customisation of profiles to this extent might now seem like something most users would not have an interest in. Websites which allow you to change the appearance of your profile without showing you the backend (source code) are more popular now. In that regard, many websites offer users predesigned templates which can be implemented without having to think too much. Digital expression has become, much like many things under capitalism, a commodity of window shopping for predetermined options.

This is quite detrimental in a way that might not seem clear from the get-go. Not having adequate options for users to customise their profile limits the imagination of users when thinking about what can and should exist online. Users should have the agency to alter the source code, to learn HTML and CSS, and to express themselves fully, outside of the meager breadcrumbs of changing an avatar photo.
