  • Although true, the existence of mods is an attack vector the criminally corrupt will always exploit, and every anti-authoritarian should not oppose these systems because they’re currently exploited by the corrupt.

    Fascists are buying up all media and social media explicitly to silence opposition, control the narrative, and propagandize (the thing they claim everyone else is doing to them, while being the most blatantly criminal of perpetrators).

    I can’t remember the specific protocol, but the one I saw which was most interesting relies on you subscribing to individuals, and building trust through that “social graph of trust”. It’s best to view it as someone owns a domain and you’re subscribing to their rss feed, except they’re identity is cryptographically verified, and the people they engage with have more weight in your feed than those that don’t… as opposed to whatever some technofascist algorithm, oligarch-beholden journalist or corrupt mod (who may very well be a paid operative) deems valuable or worthy of your attention; basically mimicking the way people build relationships in real life (without third party oversight).









  • You’re getting downvoted because your hot take is referring to solutions that would legitimately tackle the housing crisis, and put downward pressure on prices, as “extremist”.

    No workers in developed “democracies” have had any significant improvement in mobility for several decades. Forcing every future population into progressively new heights of omnipresent housing and economic insecurity is fucking “extremist”, and if you keep making people’s lives worse you’re guaranteed to spawn some dangerous “extremists”… I’m talking the revolutionary kind, who will be far more destructive and far less forgiving in their hot takes on wealth redistribution.
