no, we don’t have downvotes on hexbear and this is what they looked like when we did. it means bad post.

nah, it was a politically conscious choice to set up something like reddit, outside the control of capital and the state. the devs have written about it.
nah, they’re just good at posting. up your game.
unfortunately other data is not encouraging , the number of servers is both down since the exodus and in the recent month.
this is normal. we’ll go through a lot of similar waves. people start servers, realize they’re a lot of work, and then abandon them. servers that foster a healthy community will survive. hexbear’s worst cycle involved losing the entire administrative team just weeks after a large percentage of the website left. don’t sweat the growing pains - work together to learn, grow, and change.
lol the US security apparatus is bad but it’s not that bad. you might get put on a watchlist though.
FOSS hacks the copyright system to build a software commons independent of corporation, guaranteeing the freedoms of users and developers - what part of that statement isn’t political?
how can privacy ever be stripped of political content? it’s inherently about social forces - ie politics.
it’s a reference to the Haitian revolution and France never forgiving their former colony for the audacity of a slave revolt. Haiti has been paying for that crime for 200 years. “liberte egalite fraternite” was always just .
youtubers/streamers have a parasocial thing going with their audience that makes the idea of donating a smaller mental step for their audience (senpai might notice me if I donate type brainworms). FOSS projects historically have really struggled with funding, unless they’re able to secure funding from an org/corporation.
adhd posting tip: when you inevitably write a 2000 word response to someone, go back when you’re done and rewrite the first paragraph so it actually sets up what you ended up writing about - cause otherwise it’s confusing for other people to read.
a gift economy is also an exchange of goods but it’s decidedly not capitalism - no one earns any profit and there’s no flow converting money into capital and capital back into money.
vegan archbishop also sounds pretty cool but then people are gonna assume you’re catholic
nix overall is a much better solution to this problem.
oh briar looks promising. I’ve been looking for a simple e2ee chat app that doesn’t involve the internet. thanks!
no joke it’s how I learned linux, bootstrapping a gentoo install from the toolchain on up, with a printed manual. it’s surprisingly effective, if time-consuming (took me about 2 weeks to get to a booted system, though most of that was compilation time - took ages back then).
redditisfun, it was a third party reddit app
learn Haskell, write better code
compromise: 100% tax and we only eat half his heart
wait, no, this is how everyone does math. right? …right?
