sort of dawning on me that one of the reasons the opposition to search might be confusing for new fedis is because some of you mfs are walking around the internet with the most unimaginably complex bookmarking and notetaking systems and barely mention it, but then will be able to skid between a dozen threads 5 years apart because you were using this consistent and expressive personal microformat the whole time.

How come this is happening and is it bad

And if it is bad, how come this is happening to me, because i am good.

Dang it all you jokers who just hand Amazon all your money make it real hard for the rest of us who hate it when one company owns the globe and uses that power for evil to find a retailer to buy bike tires from

@ntnsndr
Exactly!!! There is no contradiction in people connected by space and people connected by an idea organizing outside of the nation state together :)

Some call that anarchism, I call it having a fucking heart that beats!

My neighbors are having an argument where one of them keeps saying "Alexa, play Mozart" and the other is saying "you cant just say play Mozart, you have to be more specific" and the other person just keeps going "ALEXA, no DONT ASK ME... play MOZART. MOZART" and this is how you know voice interfaces are making ppl not understand music and tearing families apart

@ntnsndr
Id run an experimental one just to see what its actually like, same with trying to run a relay, but not with coop resources I dont think.

@ntnsndr @robin @boris on the other hand, i am curious about what it even means to run a PDS, if it has any impact - for good or ill, community identity or concentration of power - on your experience of the protocol. I think the design is for the answer to that to be "no," but then i would be curious why anyone would run one at all.

Love u, but "Lol no." Nothing cooperative about atproto

Cant blv Nathan wrote a social.coop book ♥ congratulations and excited to check it out.

Its like that one Lauren boebert x Dave chappelle tweet a few days ago: "just a couple of people who know there are only two genders," like why are you so obsessed with us, its sad you cant have one interaction that isnt oriented around reifying your vision of what everyones junk is for. We are just hanging out and its y'all that are trying to bring on a christofascist ethnostate to write assigned gender into the law.

Like merely existing as a woman in a cis bar is a gauntlet of dealing with cishet men acting out their expectations of cishet gender roles. The *only reason* a man would talk to a woman in the cishet bar is to hook up. You do not get the moments in queer spaces of "hello who are u what is up" that amount to a basic assumption of humanity before shoving it into some repressive institution of gender and sexuality

The fascists love to demonize queer ppl for "making everything about sex" or "making their gender their whole personality" but every time I go to a queer event I am struck by how precisely they have this backwards. Cis society is profoundly sexualized, and literally every interaction is pre-coded with assumed gender. In a queer space, you purposefully never make assumptions about who someone is or what they're up to, so interactions are much *less* coded by gender and *less* intrinsically sexual

Co-operated a co-op for 7y, was at the final stage of founding a new one before we got sabotaged, ill do my best:
1) yes- after financial liability, trust is the main thing u need. There is a lot of work but its just prelude to the lot of work that is running the house. If you have a healthy house culture you will.be able to find more ppl. Keeping it tight early is not necessarily a bad thing.

@tillshadeisgone
2) dont know, seems like it would vary by area, but you dont get a house without buying one so i think u just do the best u can here.
3) you could approach an existing coop with an expansion plan, but I would want to really know them and be sure our expectations for governance/responsibility matched. You probably should be in conversation with one and a group like NASCO for support tho. You are not being silly!

@tillshadeisgone
I think incorporating before having property so you can finance/buy the property as a nonprofit (we were a 501(c)7) is the normal way, otherwise you can deed it to the nonprofit, but idk how that would work with banks. You dont want to personally hold that debt probably tho.
4) you'll need to continuously look for grants and loans for renovations if youre charging affordable fees. ...
