So again, it’s not valuable to you. It’s obviously valuable to the people that keep using it. So it is… valuable.
That’s not what “valuable” means.
The universe growing souls like flowers, or something
I don’t believe in a soul that’s separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that “inanimate” matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades… It’s almost fair to call that thing a soul. It’s fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.
You’re not describing how Reddit has no value. You’re just saying that you don’t like it, or it’s not valuable to you.
Reddit was a living thing. An ecosystem of interaction which was so robust it frequently generated content that was useful in Google search results. The shitposts were essential to that ecosystem. There were also bots, which is inevitable.
That ecosystem has collapsed.
They seem more node.js-friendly than other hosts I’ve tried. I might have to take the plunge.
Except instead of Nazis (?!?!) it’s corporations.
Maybe I should figure out DO. I disregarded then because I didn’t understand their droplets or whatever they’re called.
I’m socially liberal and economically on the left (as in I like democracy, I accept capitalism, but I want a lot more socialist policies). Downtrodden people should be given assistance, but everyone else should be free to live out their power and ambition unless it gets in other people’s way. I’m against most right wing political and social positions. But I’m even more against defederation and mass blocking. I don’t want a safe space. There are too many things we need to process with conversation.
“Today’s pirates are too mean!”
That’s a great price for a vps. What host do you use?
Right, but social media (and any social movement) needs to have some degree of blood-pumping excitement. Constructive criticism is super important, but so is passionate people yelling at each other. The important thing is that we’re emotionally mature enough to handle each other’s passion. If infighting leads to people crying “defederate now!” then that’s a problem. But “constructive” criticism can lead to the same fracturing.
Let’s just ride the waves and steer this thing somewhere cool and strong! And it’s fine if “infighting” is part of the engine that keeps the digital blood pumping.
I agree.
BUT some degree of infighting means we’re alive and engaged with the platform. I think it’s healthy infighting.
I’m in Canada and we just drink the tap water. Some northern and remote native communities have to boil their water and it’s considered an embarrassing failure of basic human rights.
Nope
