Wow! I didn't expect many Poast users to boost this post, given that a lot of them have Telescam IDs in their bios.

@me We just need at least one public XMPP server that is user friendly and allows users to host MUCs, as well as being free-speech friendly. Not everyone needs to host their own servers, but enough people.

@allison @affine @straw @kirby @mischievoustomato Does anyone else feel like this whole "defed culture" is just a psyop by big-tech to make decentralized networks broken and unusable?

@kirby @straw @allison @mischievoustomato That's why 90% of it's users use the main server. It's just the mastodon.social situation all over again.

@allison @straw @kirby I've heard some shady things regarding the founder of Matrix, like him being partnered with the World Economic Forum.

@SAKURARadiochan @allison *fell for it

@SAKURARadiochan @allison Telegram is for tech-illiterate right-wingers who only feel for it because their favorite podcaster uses it.

@allison @straw @kirby Why would you need to encrypt a public chat?

I'm a little late to this, but I feel the need to mention it because I feel like these people are just going to move to Telegram, if they already haven't.

Telegram is NOT a better alternative to Discord. It asks for your phone number (huge red flag), lies about being end-to-end encrypted (encryption is done server-side), is centralized, and not entirely FOSS (server-side software is closed source). Look into decentralized/self-hosted solutions instead.

I personally recommend hosting an XMPP server. Install an XMPP server stack that supports multi-user-chats and host your discussions there. With XMPP, you can sign up for an account on any server and talk to anyone, including people from other servers. There are even modernized web-clients like Movim which make it more user friendly.

For private/direct messages, you can also end-to-end encrypt them using OMEMO. Just don't use them for public MUCs or you will end up having problems. You really don't need to encrypt a public chat anyway.

If you need help running an XMPP server, Mental Outlaw made a video on it.

Really, even an IRC channel or an AJAX webchat/shoutbox is better than Discord or Telegram.

@beardalaxy @graf You can now upload more than 3 screenshots. Previously, the game table in the database had 3 columns for screenshots. Now, screenshots are in their own table.

@beardalaxy Do what they do and start your own BS charity. I plan on having the Ioncom Foundation, dedicated to getting the third-world out of poverty by giving children programming books but no computers.

Taxation would probably be somewhat more moral if the penalty for not paying them was either:

a.) Exile from the city/country - This really can only be done in small countries or city-states like The Republic of Cospaia back in the 1400s. I can't see a large country like the US implementing such thing.

b.) Denial of government services - This would effectively render the government a private service, but I'd expect the government would try to ban any non-government organization from forming competing services, otherwise you would effectively have an anarcho-capitalist or panarchist system. You would also have some socialists object to this as this would also make free healthcare or UBI impossible and the rich can simply not pay taxes by just hiring private security, doctors, etc for themselves, but they pretty much already do that anyway.

Better start street-sweeping!

>For almost 200 years countries have constantly intervened to try and help Haiti or stabilize it at every single time it's failed.

I only care about other countries intervening. Ideally, we should stay the fuck out of it.

But it seems like everyone is in the false dichotomy in that if you aren't pro-TND then you are someone who wants to give foreign aid to every third-world country.

Why is everyone obsessing over the situation in Haiti? I honestly don't care what happens there or to their people, but everyone is hoping for a genocide.

Best thing to do is stay the fuck out of it.
