It isn't a popular way of looking at things, but to me whenever we pay for something with debt we never intend to pay back, we're selling our kids into slavery. They never asked for us to do that any of the stuff we're doing, but they'll be the ones paying for it.
Sometimes people come back with "don't be stupid! Debt the government takes over never needs to be paid back!", But as the United Kingdom and Japan have already found out to an extent and I expect more countries to find out, you can't just continue growing your debt forever.

Admit it: if you saw any one of those pictures under the title "man found in motel room with dead tibetan underage quadruple amputee midget prostitute" you wouldn't be totally surprised.
If you oppose hate in all its forms except of course the forms that are considered acceptable by the establishment because those are just and right and good, implement all of fediblock, every last line.

The one thing they don't realize is that those trusted services are trusted because they've been dependable. Once they cannot be relied upon, new systems will be put into place.
At the extreme end, it might even be possible to create something ISPs can't block, though it won't be so easy anymore.

The reason I'm worried is that things are only so decentralized. We rely on common services such as DNS or ISPs, and if the authoritarian press decides to they can break our toys shockingly easily. We've seen it.
If everyone follows the current laws of physics and doesn't do anything like try to repeal the law of gravity though, I agree -- The federated nature of everything ought to mean the people who don't like each other can be part of the same system without having to interact at all which is pretty cool.

Honestly, nice work.
I feel like the whole ethos may be so alien to the overwhelming majority of people you can lay it out like this and they still won't get it, but nobody can say you didn't try.

I'm definitely worried about the same. A lot of these blue checks are used to being in charge. I don't want them to come in and start making demands -- it's a decentralized system, we don't owe them anything.
They're the ones who created the authoritarian system they're fleeing because someone they don't like is in charge. If they want authoritarianism with someone they like in charge, they shouldn't bother leaving big tech.

tbh I think there's something iffy about amazon's business model.
Let's say you see my new design for magnetic meter leads and you want them, and I want to sell lots so I sell them for $2.
There's simply no way I could break even selling those $2 meter leads while spending 10 bucks to mail them to you and giving you free shipping.
I know "amazon prime", but there's no way that breaks even.

People ask me what the cloud is. I draw a picture where I draw a cloud and label it "not my problem".
