Repeat after me: blockchain is centralised.

You want to tilt the power dynamics to favour social justice? You don’t do that by making a billion copies of the same database. You do it by ensuring that a billion people can have their own unique databases.

Expend your energy to realise topological decentralisation not global proofs. Sure, it won’t make you a billionaire but if that’s what you want, what the fuck you reading my feed for?

Biblioteconomia.

i think about this picture a lot

Also:

🧐 Experiment with different accounts on different instances (sites like https://instances.social/list can help you). Every instance has different feel, vibe and community (and rules). Find one that you prefer or use mutliple accounts/personas/instances.

🏷️ Use plenty of #Hashtags as it is the only way to actually search through the #Fediverse...

❓ Ask around! Many people will be pleased to guide you.. There is no stupid question :)

💖 Be part of making the Fediverse better and more welcoming!

the US lying about its COVID-19 numbers and stopping tracking them to make it look like they're doing better they are in reality is simply the most recent example of a pervasive problem under American capitalism. Namely, that if you change the way you measure a problem so that it looks better, that's orders of magnitude cheaper than actually addressing the problem.

Evergreen examples off the top of my head, all from economics bc it's the worst offender in this:
- Federal poverty line is a laughably small amount so that it can be claimed that there's few people in poverty https://talkpoverty.org/2016/09/13/poverty-rate-just-dropped-way-measure-poverty-wrong/
- US unemployment statistics are juked to look better than they actually are. this one's a great parallel to COVID too bc it *used* to be measured in a more sensible way but they changed it bc it looked bad https://unemploymentdata.com/unemployment-rate/real-unemployment-rate/
- The USA doesn't even keep official track of under-employment, which is a massively pervasive problem https://www.forbes.com/sites/payout/2017/07/21/the-underemployment-phenomenon-no-one-is-talking-about/

Covid-19 is a practice general strike for North America. Tricky part is getting capitalist mind-prisoned workaholics to see they can actually NOT be stressed out, killing themselves running on hamster wheels for billionaire profit for a week or four. This is a crack in the prison bars.

I would've preferred to stay home today but having to do one thing at the office isn't too bad when almost nobody is here.

Triple 4K screens make a nice battlestation.
