It’s about growing US industry. Peter Navarro, one of Trump’s economic advisors, apparently really likes the idea.
There’s a more accessible podcast that has an interview on the Hatchet.
Hired as chief survivor. Top notch being alive. Continuing to breathe beyond all expectations.
! Thank you for taking the high road !<
Is the instance really that significant? I’m aware mod policies and defederation has an effect, but the good stuff tends to correlate with individual communities. At least from what I’ve seen.
And communities seem to be best found by reading /all.
Is there a client that approximate Reddit’s “subscribe to post” behaviour?
Totally fair.
I feel like this is most appropriate with politicians. No politician will be everything you want, but if they have a few policies you’re into, they’re worth your vote.
You have a future in politics!
Nice! What are your projects?
I write software for fun and give it away. I also write software for money and don’t give it away.
For a large organization, maybe. For small scale organizing where the group is obeying laws, it probably isn’t worth the effort. Adding technical hurdles for little or no benefit weakens the group.
For a small group that isn’t planning to break laws, this can be a pain in the butt. If the group is organizing a public protest or boycott, this is a barrier to entry for other participants.
An alternative is open communications: as a group, agree not to break any laws, agree not to joke about breaking laws, and then use whatever works for everybody.
If you are planning to break laws, give’r.
I’m a software developer. I’ve done a bunch of volunteering with protest/political groups. They rarely need my software skills
Instead: join a group, listen, figure out what they need, and do that.
Are they bad at organizing? Take minutes and set dates.
Are they trying to take donations? Offer to set up the bank account and track expenses.
Do they need a place to meet? Offer to schedule a room at the local library.
What do you mean “ex-believer”? I still use Linux every day.
How do you keep finding yourself on submarines? I’ve been around for a long time, and I’ve never been on a sub. I’ve never even been close enough to ask one about its ideology. Multiple subs? Damn.
No, that’s awesome! It’s an impressive level of opsec. 👍
Edit: By “no”, I mean there’s nothing wrong with doing that. Like I said: awesome.
I just noticed your account age and name. Did you create this account just to ask the question?
Eh. If you’re worried about people thinking it’s a weird or offensive name, just pick another name. You don’t have to use it.
As an aside: I wouldn’t broadcast a variant of my name as a network name or mention it on social media. I don’t think anything bad is likely to happen, but it’s just good practice.
Joining an existing project would be more helpful.
