looking at the /pol/ board

THE INTERNET IS DEAD. STOP USING IT. EAT RAW MEAT AND ORGANS AND BLOOD, THEN INJECT HCG, THEN TAKE AMPHETAMINES AND KILL THE NEW WORLD ORDER. THAT IS YOUR OBJECTIVE. FURTHER BROWSING IS VANITY.

off to a good start, guys! sounds like a great place to hang on the net!

great post. in some ways he feels like a victim of the "we're in the moment space" style of the modern music economy and in other ways a collaborator (for lack of a better term).

i liked aim and ignite back in 2013 though

Reply to bluesky exists just to push bitcoin. that's literally it. if bluesky takes off, we're all going to be using bitcoin in a few years, and that sucks by twovests

Posts on the platform have been dubbed 'skeets'[8][9] (claimed to be a portmanteau of 'sky' and 'tweet', but also a common slang term for ejaculation)[10] by frequent users, despite CEO Jay Graber pleading with users not to call them that.[11]

haha cool

i dont know enough about bluesky or bitcoin to say if youre right or not but i dont understand how they would integrate bitcoin into bluesky if its just another decentralised social networking service

Reply to can't imagine being hilary clintons friend and thinking every day "this wouldn't be happening if she won the presidency" by twovests

thats not really what democrats are interested in, though, is it? like biden said (who is probably functionally exactly the same as clinton, except perhaps a little less hawkish and definitely more senile) when he was campaigning, under his government "nothing would fundamentally change". they dont care about preventing the "this" youre referring to in your title, they want to ensure that the deckchairs on the titanic are perfectly arranged (though not as much as they want to fundraise).

i dont use the federation stuff but i forgot that it was a twitter derivative and not just like, forums or whatever. i hope they continue to use "toot" as the name for their posts and the whole platform fails because of only that

sure but why would fb see mastodon as a rival? surely itd be better to spin up some take on twitter or something to capitalise on a dying platform rather than try and colonise a community of almost uniformly anti-facebook users

facebooks involvement seems totally counter to the underlying principles of the fediverse but really i have no idea why they would even bother to get involved. do they really think that a facebook branded mastodon instance is going to generate profit or signups or whatever?

The only thing left in cryptocurrency that's "good" (in the sense of fulfilling its basic goals) is the ability to make private payments

but its literally worse than physical money, which requires no overhead on the part of the individual and is virtually untraceable unless youre doing some serious shit. all this effort and the only ostensibly redeemable thing is worse than the system in use since the invention of "dollars"
