I disagree. The first point is saying we shouldn't go backwards, which I agree with. The second is hoping for forward progress, the exact thing that he was arguing for with the first point.

Being a luddite isn't about going backwards, it's about refusing to support technologies that work against your interests.

Being a luddite is not about withholding support, it is about completely denying the existence of new technologies, or even actively trying to destroy them.

A return to the state of web 1.0 would definitely be a major move backwards, similar to banning the use of cars to prevent traffic accidents from happening. Wouldn't it be better to just learn how to drive?

The Luddites were a group of people who destroyed machinery that threatened their livelihood. In modern parlance it typically just means someone who is opposed to the adoption of new technology. I think parent's definition is more accurate than yours in either case.

Sharing a vastly smaller fraction of things is completely reasonable. Currently systems are optimized by social media companies to maximize engagement not utility.

Unfortunately, the only way that’s likely to change is a new company or nonprofit that decides not to sell out to Facebook or Advertising.
