Cool, please tell us more how you refused to save people based on their income.

Great list, I second every one of these!

Long ago the saying was "be careful - anything you post on the internet is forever". Well, time has certainly proven that to be false.

There's things like /r/datahoarder (not sure if they have a new community here) that run their own petabyte storage archiving projects, some people are doing their part.

but ours has the much cooler @dataterm.digital ending :)

That's what I assumed, just nice to clarify. It's a brave new world out there :)

Consent-O-Matic is amazing, highly recommended.

Useful browser extensions (dataterm.digital)

Aside from the obvious adblockers, here are some useful tools:

Consent-O-Matic: Annoyed by those pesky cookie consent forms? This extension auto-completes and submits the form for you!

Dark reader (Chrome): Togglable dark-mode for all websites.

Clearly reader (Chrome): If you truly wish to return to the old days this extension will remove all unnecessary elements on a website and generate a clean document in the same browser window, leaving you with a simple text/image site to read.

Are we likely to find ourselves unfederated away from anything in particular?

I think this is the largest uncertainty with the federation in general. You don't want to end up on a locked out instance, or an instance that does not federate the content you want. As Ramses posted, Beehaw already defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. It's not a problem this community can solve on its own however.

Perhaps a disclaimer would be sufficient, even if it is just "we will defederate communities that do XYZ".

@revengeday
@LevelUp

Have to say this community seems to be very even-keeled and mature. Cyberpunk theme is a bonus :) Happy to be here and hopefully make a digital home for myself!

Well, that was fast.

Holy shit, this looks awesome! Maybe I can scratch that TA itch - thanks!

It's buggy, but I'm managing. Weird things like having to press the "Subscribe" button twice. I'm assuming most will be solved when traffic stabilizes.

The federation is.. strange. Confusing when I click a link to another instance when trying to subscribe to a community, but also kinda cool how it works. I'm not sure federation should really be a concern for users, but time will tell. I'm sure it will only improve.

I promote collective mutual determination as an egalitarian system by which society can organize.

In practice, direct democracy? Or, how would that work - how would we organize society? Positions would still need to be held, no? Roles appointed, decisions made, lines drawn. No one can be up-to-date on all matters in their local nor global environment. And certainly not at the same point in time. How would anything work with any cohesiveness?

Sorry to be so dismissive, I'm actually kinda curious on your thoughts. Only ways I see are AI governance or a hive mind. Not sure about either tbh.
