If I own a community that’s related to a piece of software, service, or other community and someone who actually contributes to that wants it, message me and it’s yours. I stake no claim in communities, I simply want to see them exist and thrive.

  • I don’t understand why so many folks aren’t worried about another superpower replacing the US’s slowly waning stranglehold

    Can’t speak for others, but personally I simply find them both worrying. The Chinese and US states are both foreign powers that wish to track everything I do and use it to control me in the future.

    Look at all the fucked up shit the US has done around the world, and that’s with a quasi-democratic government that at least has a modicum of domestic and international accountability

    Which US-led, US-backed agencies are you referring to as delivering accountability for the US? The ones they have veto power in too?

    Not trying to “both are equally bad”. China’s output of political violence is ostensibly worse, but you seem to be dismissing the legitimate concern that the source for this is the US regime, whose political interest is for us to point fingers at China as they continue working behind our backs.

    We know to be cautious of China, yet any time someone brings up “we should be cautious of the US too”, the response is “China’s worse”, deflecting from the real threat that the US presents globally.

    Preferably, I’d like to see all these superpowers overthrown, the states broken up, and a union a la the EU to form with more global pursuits, or the EU itself to expand beyond European borders, while continuing to be genuinely voluntary while also being both politically and economically beneficial for all member-states.










  • J’apprécie les mots gentils. Je vais faire de mon mieux pour apprendre le français! Merci beaucoup pour vos meilleurs vœux.

    Je utiliser plusiers outils y compromis mes amis, ChatGPT, et cours en ligne. J’espère que cela aide mon apprentissage!


    Should say:
    I appreciate the kind words. I will do my best to learn French! Thank you for the best wishes.

    I’m using many tools including my friends, ChatGPT, and online courses. I hope it helps my learning!




  • Older people ignore the comment sections in their factorization. I think this can be fair but also isn’t necessarily when we consider things like livestreams on twitch and youtube, where you will have actual communities form on the platform itself, who communicate and form friendships and relationships. Unlike message boards and forums typically have, there is a “main character” if you will, but I don’t think that makes it asocial.

    There’s also the participatory, communicative environment people feel even as smaller creators. It’s not like film and TV where you need an entire network and brand backing you, and as such it’s pretty democratized to be a social outlet for people.
