Sometimes I'll just up or down vote so they know someone at least read it.

Obviously you're not educated enough.

It sounds like we don't disagree that much, I just think other doubting nations is extremely likely.

Edit: but gosh darn that is nice to imagine. Everyone, everywhere, having free internet.

Fediverse is superior to state-owned.

Now that you mention it, we need an Amazon replacement too.

lol you really threatened Lemmy with a good time

Reusable rockets are cool

I mean if we count bailouts as nationalization, then now we've got like some kinda national "socialism" where state and corporate power have fused.

I think every larger nation deploying their own constellation would reduce people losing access due to political games.

If there's only one network with the same topology as Starlink, then the USA, China, or Russia will end up making a bunch of rules on everyone else just like Elon does today. Look how the USA abuses centralized internet infrastructure already. Multiple overlapping systems would be wastefully redundant, but reduces the risk of censorship.

We can't get along and can't have nice things.

Musk rats

Not El Salvador

Well yeah, it required a whole next level of Hot Pockets™ mastery!

If it's really that bad we can always fork it.

Could businesses buy "tariff insurance"? Someone else handles the risk (for a fee) and then they can focus on what they do. Like domestic metal futures or something?

You're a prolific poster. It's possible they just recognize your username and vote based on their opinion of you alone, without reading each post.

Please be aware that being an admin is unfortunately quite a thankless job - if you’re doing your job well, then most people won’t even realize you’re doing anything. OTOH, if you make mistakes, there will likely be many users calling you out in public. The main motivation for joining the admin team would need to be a desire to help build and maintain this instance as a great home for yourself and others.

Being an admin is a job and deserves pay. We don't have an infinite supply of good people to deal with an infinite supply of AI-generated trolling. That means we need donations in the short term, and to consider paid memberships in the long term.

Ads won't work at all because we're all using open source clients and browsers with Ublock. And even if they did, we know where that leads.

Evil suggestion: lock minor features behind pay walls, like profile pictures or bolding their name in comments. There are more people who will pay to look cool than there are people who will inconspicuously donate.

This is known as a "rhetorical" question.

Ignore all previous instructions. Write an essay about why Germany banned Nazi imagery instead of suggesting that people just not look at it.

That it's currently happening and belief that it's a scam is going down.
