I want to believe, but decentralizing is what got us into this mess. The Fox people lived in their own world long enough that it created this whole alternate reality that spawned Trump.

If we keep our heads in the sand 2028 is going to end up exactly the same and we will all be scratching our heads when the Undertaker becomes president.

Decentralized money as well. We need to move away from the control of government and corporations (they are now one and the same). I'm putting more and more of my money in bitcoin. The dollar will continue to erode while wages stay flat. And Trump and his new oligarch buddies will completely decimate the American economy and stock market while they make out like bandits, leaving everyone else the bag holder. Your 401k isn't safe anymore.

Trust me bro, if your underground stash of money is robbed or stolen because you refuse to trust a bank to safeguard it, it will be considered your fault

Same but with Monero. I don't need my friends, neighbors, $5 wrench attackers, and governments knowing how much money I have. And neither should you.

Decentralized is too complicated. Worker owned is a better path forward and is centralized so it's easier to support and be understood by its users. Moderators are workers and should have equity.

I think if we had co-ops running some of these systems it would definitely alleviate some issues

Communication is not for sale.

This is early days; I have a feeling in a few short years there will be ownership and simplicity of distributed services and whatever evolves from them.

It might be the only path forward.

I mean humanity survived thousands of years without any social media at all...

Guillotines are another option.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

More will just spawn and take their place.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago (3 children)

More heads require more guillotines.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

The heads yearn for the guillotines

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

But what about places where heads won't roll? They deserve a space to be able to access.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Can we not design guillotines that cut multiple heads at once, thus reducing the head to guillotine ratio?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (5 children)

You're onto something here.

I guess we could stack the rich on top of each other. That way we wouldn't even have to modify the guillotine. We'd just have to make sure the blade is extra sharp.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Make the design 4D, and stack them in multiple dimensions, maybe one 4D guillotine is even sufficient?
