It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

Socialist society, where humans collectively own production, cannot be dictated by a single or small group. It requires mass participation.

Do you really think this could work in a city for example where many people live together, not knowing each other? What you say could be possible in a small village where only a hundred people live together but when it exceeds more than 500, it'd impossible IMO and it would always turn into what we have right now.

    To the contrary, socialism can only work at scale. I'm not arguing for full horizontalism, I'm arguing for a collectivized and planned economy run by cells of people laddering upwards.
