Here is something that you almost never see on the modern, post-culture war Internet. There is this website known as "Terra Earth" which is a fansite for the unofficial Soul Blazer trilogy. On their forum, there is a subforum dedicated to conspiracy theories and debating heated topics. Best parts about it are:
1. All of these threads are contained within this subforum. You don't have to participate if you don't want to.
2. A site dedicated to a hobby has an off-topic forum dedicated to this kind of stuff. You almost never see this on modern Discord servers. People who post these kinds of threads usually get permabanned.
3. There is ZERO ideological bias. Everyone came to these threads with an open-mind and almost nobody had knee-jerk reactions. Everything is fair game. People may insult you, but this was before things like witch-hunts and lolcow drama became mainstream.
This subforum (and the forum as a whole) is nowhere near as active as it used to be (with each subforum getting a new post every few months), but the fact that it's still up shows how different the landscape the Internet was at the time. I mean, you even have one of the site's staff talk about how he thinks white pride shouldn't be considered racist (though in the same post, he also considers racial pride to be pointless, but still).
@cjd Okay, fed.
@beardalaxy
That's about all.
*bitch slap*
Peace out.
Just when people thought it couldn't get any worse.
Reminder that it is well documented that the government controls the weather. So it's likely intentional that they are creating these hurricanes and not giving anyone aid, so they can then build smart-cities, pod homes or whatever else they want on top of the ruble.

@wowaname I think the problem is that most normies today aren't willing to learn even basic HTML and web hosting knowledge and most of the WYSIWYG editors out there add unnecessary crap no matter how simple you try to create it.
I think the real solution is to have a much simpler protocol, using a markup language that isn't extensible like HTML. That way it would be difficult for GUI to add extra bloat to the output. Gemini seems to be the closest fit, but I think there should be a little customization. I would give one background image/color and one container for the text on each page. That should be enough.

>he needs to shut up entirely about sociopolitical bullshit
Or at least keep it separate from his software development and FOSS advocacy.
Say what you want about Richard Stallman, but at least he knew to keep his free software activism separate from his other activism. Drew Devault doesn't seem to think that way. If your project accepts crypto donations, to him you are some evil anarcho-capitalist and a climate denier.
@wowaname Talking about DeVault or Balkan?
