  • Good. Let these idiots be loud. Let every Canadian see what the Fuck Yeah 'Muricans think of us, so that the sting lasts as long as possible. We don't want to get lulled back into business as usual once Asshole Donny bits the bullet.

  • You can't truly bar federated content from being viewed by non-members, but you can totally make it not worth the effort for most people to see what's posted, and totally prevent contribution.

    These kinds of restrictions wouldn't be about strict secrecy, just effectively creating a white list for speaking. A +v in IRC terms.

  • I always like forum setups where you had limited posting privileges until you'd had a couple of posts. Usually, they'd have an introduction category where you could post, and then comment on some other users' posts, to get your post or reputation count high enough to unlock the rest of the board.

    Most Lemmy sites are small enough to have a local introduction community or other 'free' communities for newbies to dip their toes and acclimate. They'd be good places to centralize posts on how all of this works, too.

    Wouldn't scale to large servers, though.

  • The oldest Gen Zer is what? 27? What milestones are they late to? Especially if they're early to home ownership.

    Because they seem to be earlier to kids than millennials were, based on what I've heard, and marriage just seems to be a fundamentally different thing to many people born after GenX.

  • And fuck power levels!

    But yeah, if the big bidness boys pwaying big bidness games are going to take their ball and go home, we should start taking things back in return. IP rights. Trademarks.

    Tax breaks.

    If they want to be 'Murican, let them go be 'Murican. We don't need 'em 'round these parts.

  • Welcome! I think you'll find that the clunkiness dissolves into the background pretty quickly. Peoples' biggest stumbling block after signup is often that you can find communities with the same name on different websites, and that kind of offends some folks' sensibilities. Coming from OGFT, though, I think you can already appreciate that Reddit had multiple communities fighting over names anyway.

    The admins here have been absolute power houses, so I know they'll be only too quick to provide any help that you need, or answer questions about the site or nuances about the underlying tech. And some of us regulars have been around here for a few years now, and even predate the site, thanks to the way federated services can communicate across site types (I started on Mastodon, for instance, and have been kicking the tires on nodeBB).

    It's a fun little experiment in internet anarchism.

  • It's incredibly difficult in a media landscape controlled by capitalists, unfortunately. And there's been very little effective action in creating mainstream alternatives to capitalist news media.

  • The public's memory is immaterial. The public really has no long term power. Decisions are made for us by politicians and businesses.

    They're the one's who need to remember that the US has threatened their positions.

    Voting with your wallet doesn't make for sustained, long term change. It requires too much work, and it's umder constant attack by marketing.
