In Gov. Abbott 's Texas, which has banned more books than any other state, your kids can't read about loving gay couples, but they'll be sent home with a book about surviving school shootings that doesn't mention guns. [free link] https://tinyurl.com/3nrb9zf8
The project of the #4opens for the last ten years, is a non-legalistic path towards codification of #FOSS culture. A tool to compost healthy soil to nurture seeds of hope.
Well if it isn't cryptocurrency spam coming from the biggest, open instance on the #Fediverse. 👀
I wonder if this is at all related to challenges with moderating an instance of checks notes 200k active accounts? Or with moderating new accounts on the only instance actively promoted in the official apps? :thinking_rotate:
Thankfully we can always defederate! What's that? It's the biggest instance so there are real concerns about a lot of people losing connections? Whodda thunk it!
We talk about our "culture" from this consensus building we social "police" our "commons" it's basic stuff we should not need to talk about, it's natural if we are not worshiping a #deathcult

The are some things to learn from in the past and there are many things in the future we do not won't.
Live and learn, I use a polemical hashtag #nothingnew to highlight the mess we make with the 40 years of #deathcult worshipping (neoliberalism) and philosophical poison of the dead #postmodernism of the last 40 years.

Fucking Christ the @protocol is the most obtuse crock of shit I've ever looked at. It is complex solely for the sake of being complex and still suffers from all of the same problems as Mastodon.
Your server goes down? Sorry, all of your followers are lost. Account portability is no better than Mastodon. 'DIDs' serve literally no purpose. And none of the API code that Bluesky uses in their own app validates ANY of the crypto they're doing on the server. NONE OF IT.
I think they will look more at the #dotcons smelling #bluesky than the wildflower smelling #ActivityPub as culture pushes over tech, and we are working in a broken culture. Not saying the #openweb is bad, just it's a hard sell to head down #deathcult worshippers, this is why we have #bluesky they are selling, it's not tech.
There are real world consequences to being led by jingoistic, short term interest, greedy climate delayers who think everything can be left to the private sector.
When you don’t believe in talking to ‘experts’ and your party is bereft of any scientific or engineering talent, you tend to be blinkered. Those blind spots can be huge:
One of the main problems of our #postmodernists is that they can't see different points of view... this is counterintuitive but also obviously happening. This dead philosophy in deeply embedded in us and our society. With the "common sense" #deathcult of #neoliberalism of the last 40 years we have a huge social and personal mess to compost, a shovel?
A man who arrived at the scene of the Allen, Texas, mass shooting said he found a girl with 'no face' and a mother who died protecting her son from bullets: 'It's just unfathomable to see the carnage.'
These are all #mainstreaming in a cultural sense, they push little outside the #deathcult might be worth getting off your knees, lifting your head and looking around as there are cultures outside this narrow depression we live and likely a lot of us are displaced and die in over the next 20 years of #climatechaos
The hashtags are designed to make the mainstream as dirty as possible, so people see the need to pick up #openweb#4opens tools “spades” to clear the stinking shit and pools of piss #climatechaos is increasingly going to show we live in (consumerism/alienating work/greed is good) Make compost (decay of death) to plant seeds (fertile life) to grow flowers (lifecult). Its a convoluted metaphor 😉
Its a hard to understand simple thing. In the era of the #deathcult the fashernisas are almost always wrong and a part of the problem. In the era of the #lifecult fahernistas are mostly right and a part of the solution, does that make it more simple?
A large part of society who do what’s fashionable. Not what’s right/wrong/best. In the era of the #deathcult of neoliberalism this has always been the wrong path to take. It’s a simple idea.
It’s good that people try not to push pointless tech projects… And the majority of new tech projects are obviously pointless. To get an idea of what to push do a #4opens review and publish this, let’s build a community of useful tech together. We need to do better.
#techchurn has made so much #techshit over the last 10 years. There are piles of #mainstreaming and alt tech that needs to be composted to grow a more humane world.
From a grassroots prospective, we don’t have alternatives as they have been devoured and turned into shit by #NGO#fashernistas and social #deathcult worshipping (40 years of neoliberalism)
Thus, your/our lack of motivation, in my lifetime there were meany anarchist/ecological/socialist alternatives which kinda worked in imperfect ways.
We need to call pointless things pointless in the era of #climatechaos when most people are on their knees worshipping the #deathcult
If you feel fear at this idea, then your head is bowed, #fashernistas get off your knees and call pointless things out. Actively use the #4opens as a shovel, there are piles of #techshit that needs to be composted. In the era of #climatechaos most people are on their knees worshipping the #deathcult
The #fediverse is an “accidental” #openweb reboot by the #fashernistas, so it’s herding cats to get anything done, not a bad thing, not a good thing It’s what it is.
One way to move away from this mess is #OGB grassroots #DIY producer governance.
Otherwise, live (and die) with the mess, and try to stop people bowing down and praying to the #deathcult is a step to keep the #openweb in place.
The difference between a conservative and a neoliberal is that the conservative screws you over with a “fuck you” while the neoliberal does so with a “please and thank you.”
@aral the neoliberal is visibly worshipping a #deathcult for the last 40 years, where a conservative will find this uncomfortable and might maybe do something about this mess.
@raucao if you wonder what the "problem" is? It's that for the last 40 years the domanet ideology has been neo-liberalism which has proven to be a #deathcult, look at #XR movement for factual information on this.
All the #dotcons are made as an image of this ideology and its also imbedded in different ways in all #FOSS projects unless people knowingly think in different non #mainstreaming ways.
America is so racist we're willing to sacrifice countless children at the altar of gun culture. Whitey's fixation on a supposed coming race war — or even everyday fear of Black folks, immigrants, and other POC — is the driving force behind lax US gun laws, related Supreme Court rulings, and the fact that weapons of war sell like crazy here.
