  • If instances weren’t supposed to ever de-federate then the option wouldn’t exist. They are using the system as intended. There is literally no impact on you, you can join up with any instance/community that you like.

  • I don’t think there’s anything wrong with encouraging other people to donate, even if they are peacocking a little bit.

  • Hey there - I work in film production and have a fair bit of HDD space just laying around. How much do you need to be useful for backups? Happy to contribute some hardware to the cause if it’s at all remotely useful and host a local backup as one more offsite redundancy for you. That being said, I don’t really know what your data storage demands are.

  • If you, a content IP owner, don’t make that content available for purchase, then you have only yourself to blame if people pirate it.

    I don’t think we are entitled to someone creative work just because they made it. That opens way too many doors.

  • That's a great excerpt and I'm now interested in this book but it doesn't really address the issue of money not going to the creator. He's just in a position where he can afford to go without the income. Millions of artists can not. I imagine neither of us wants art creation to be solely the domain of the wealthy. Reminds me of how in college the only people who could do "good" internships were those who could afford to go a summer (or longer after college) without income and live in D.C. and other expensive cities. It's wrong to not pay people to do a job of course, but that was a major secondary issue. Only people with money could get the internships that got them jobs that made good money.
