@whitequark Asking for the fanbase: what do you call the genre of this art?

@evan IDK for sure - but Mastodon invites subject changes because of how replies get presented, because it does not use threaded display, which is also a feature that birdsite „tacked on“ rather shoddily, which is why threads on birdsite aren‘t always „threaded“ right away. I guess it must have been a background task.

Socially, I have dialectic opinions on this one. „It‘s okay sometimes“. Not „rarely“ when doing politics or debate - for example.

@evan "Same scene/community" - picked membership organization.

@ryanhoulihan carbon fiber fingernails

@annika These should only be made for artistic use IMO, and stored in a clearly marked container. Please, please, please - I really would prefer to never be in this situation, of having to judge a fake danger like that.

@georgetakei And bold to say it, and try to face it? We should keep trying... 😄

@kaia Scientology doesn’t seem to care, but that may not reflect legal realities. (if companies are citizens - US law may say yes to that)

@johl Replying out of competition: I have a Palm on my desk, and a toolchain installed.

@evan Fair choice IMO. Bots might make a nice illustration subject - if you have some?

@ryanhoulihan IT and tech folks can be pretty isolated from this type of reality. I keep telling them that we have a socio-economic problem.

@baldur Many programmers aren't serious about programming either. Only an idealist would code well without reaping the benefits - because the industry is being as lazy about quality as possible. It's simply a culture that we established.

@sofia I think that all ideologies turn into nonsense when applied in isolation. Even anarchism has a tendency to seek order - which is why anarcho-communism exists. Granted - "individualism" and "collectivism" are particularly generic, so I suppose that they have to make less sense.

@ajroach42 Lots of cool projects - you really don't have to joke about being prolific. Good luck!

@futurebird Imagine living in a society where everyone is unarmed - except for Nazis who illegally hoard guns, grenades and body bags. This is normal in Europe - and the violence is so far outside moderate people's experience that they do not necessarily grasp its seriousness.

@lzg Serious question - can we sell this as "functional tranquility"? Like - can we or should we make simplicity an ideal? This has been bugging me from an anarchist dialectic perspective.

@antiaall3s Nitter used the API - it's gone.

@feld @emc2 It is - but that's about culture. I can understand that very well - those crypto-hyperlibertarians don't seem to have social graces. They usually act like aggressive capitalists.

@feld @emc2 A fully distributed approach has different issues too, but I have seen it work several times.

Non-profits are difficult in many countries. They can't be run base-democratic in the US. They can be in Europe, but social issues tend to pop up at certain sizes.

@feld @emc2 Yes, but CEPH is not intended to be run in public - which basically means that you have internal adversaries.

@feld @emc2 True. I don't think that either are a truly good fit. Architectures based on distributed hash tables could work to some degree, but some access latency would usually remain. I would also prefer something with crypto - because ActivityPub is already very insecure and brittle.
