@waltercool Reminds me of the pig-like aliens in the Ender's Game sequels, who become trees after they "die".

How many "protestant" """Christians""" posting on this network used to be euphoric fedoralords until about 2015?

Just from lurking on the site, it's mostly AuthRIght and LibRight. I guess you can say culture-wise, it's like the Fediverse but without the SJWs.

They do have a community based moderation system, however. It's meant to hide any illegal stuff like CP. Users with a low enough reputation are shadow-banned (no content is deleted because it's on a blockchain). I haven't seen anyone using it against people posting controversial opinions though, but I'm not entirely sure because I only ever lurk on the network.

If you are going to use it, I recommend using the desktop client as opposed to the site because the site can still be taken down (the site is just a web-client for the network), but the network can't.

@ChristiJunior @rasterman @MelGibsonafter4Beers It isn't perfect though. A better system would be a fully P2P network like Bastyon (previously known as PocketNet) or Twister.

web surfing has become all but impossible. nothing links anymore, it's all narcissistic inside linking if anything. i used to surf links across the network, stumbling from one thing to the next, surprises and missteps. now it's all search hubs and feeds rather than networks.

what we use now via the http protocol isn't really the web anymore. there's no web here. it's all silos, standing alone and trying desperately to keep me from leaving. no longer a digital ocean, now small tide pools with no path between, left in the receding wake of the surf.

>I see Communism as simply the ultimate extension of individualism.

No it's not. That would require a state. Real individualism is anarchy. :ancap:

Finally beat Zelda I. Should I:

Reminder that seatbelt laws are bullshit. I never wear one and I never get in trouble for it. Even when getting pulled over for speeding the cops never notice.
