  • We build real community. That’s the answer to all of it.

    If we all feel we own the park, we’ll start taking care of it more. Rather than it being the cities (i.e. someone else’s) problem.

    How do we give land back? We decide as a community to do that.

    Also, land back isn’t about ownership, it’s about stewardship. If we were community focused, we’d understand that, and maybe even participate in it.

    How do we do justice? We let community decide what’s best.

    Fuck these countries. We should be caring and looking out for our neighbours. Not these nation states.

    How do we deal with wealth redistribution? Support community. Spend as local as you can. Give your wealth to community.

    It’s not about heorarchy, it’s about being mutually invested in eachother. Not just “friends”, not just hanging out, but sticking through tough times. Calling out BS. Trying out best to bring our the best in eachother.

    Giving power to people is not the same as democracy. People have a right to be governed however they want to be. If a community wants a king, sure. That’s their right as a people. There’s a difference between intervening on something like a genocide, and imposing democracy on a people that don’t want it.





  • Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).

    Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.

    A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It’s powerfully but that’s a double edge sword. It’s easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.

    Because it’s completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that’s true of windows and macos.

    It’s vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.

    It’s popular with nerds because it’s free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it’s all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.














  • Honestly no, and that’s okay?

    Early web2 websites like MySpace did become “popular”. But IMO one of its layckings was trying out web2 by evolving something from web1’s static websites.

    Where Facebook is the platform that popularized web2 in a way that worked with what web2 was and fundamentally build something new off of that.

    I think Lemmy/mastatdon/most current federated clones that exist today won’t last all that long. Something that is built with federation to its core and instead of just being a feature, is central to its offering.

    What is that? Not a god damn clue.

    But I’m excited to try it out.

    Disclaimer: not a historian. Born in the early 90s so a lot of my judgement above is bassed off of foggy memories and are my opinions and only opions.



  • You keep saying it’s not as bad as Hitler or mao, but then akwnoledge it has been?

    This ignores atrocities that we did do in the time. Like the Alberta eugenics board. Just because the scale of people wasn’t the same, doesn’t mean it wasn’t bad.

    When do you think the last residential school closed? This is RECENT times.

    It’s not a suffering Olympics. It’s not about the number of bodies, it’s about the attitude of those who stood by and benefited from the system.

    And just because the starlight tours are illegal, can you find one example of an officer who was prosecuted for it? Because if there’s no punishment is it really illegal?

    To sya they’re incomparable is to ignore the people who are suffering, telling you it is.
