The scamdemic and anthropocentric climate change are certainly a combination of psyop turned neo-proto-religion .. and they were intentionally pushed by some for specific interests.

Israel is a bit interesting. The Last American Vagabond had a supercut a few weeks back of Netanyahu backing wars in Libya, Syria, Iraq .. like literally the "7 countries" list Richard Clark talked about in the W Bush days. It could be argued every one of these wars starting with HW's Gulf war was a war for Israel. These wars served no purpose for American/Europe. If true, Israel hugely benefits the Military Industrial Complex™.

..but I still concede your point .. even that doesn't really affect the average American or Aussie or Indian or most people in the world. They are highly divisive topics that are being used to fracture the human mind.

MKUltra never really ended. It just kinda expanded to the entire human population with access to the bullshit we call news.

Noam Chomsky

Justt to nitpick, this bastard who literally wrote the book Manufacturing Consent said that people who didn't get injected with the most experimental and least tested preventative drug in modern medical history shouldn't be allowed into grocery stores and would be on their own for food.

He also openly defended Slobodan Milošević and loves communism.

... so yea fuck that guy.

Is TWKN on this instance supposed to be absolute garbage or is fedi just getting worse

@hazlin I MISS OLD 8CHAN :eimicry:
Furthermore, I disagree regarding inferiority. They serve different purposes. Threads on fedi tend to be fleeting and harder to keep track of, whereas those on imageboards are more stable and easily archived/kept track of. Barrier to entry is also lower; this has its own benefits and drawbacks but given the obscurity of non-4chan imageboards in the modern day and the disassociation with any dramafaggotry I think I can yield the benefits of building a userbase just from people being able to post quickly.
I understand the bot concern but IMO fedi and imageboards both have it rough on this matter (see: the recent spamwave from those gook skids)

Would anyone actually use a textboard if I started one? If not, what about an imageboard? A caveat for the latter is that NSFW lolisho imagery would be banned. I prefer to mitigate the possibility of getting v& by the Leafistani feds for an anon having a Varis moment.

t. Intending on selfhosting

Addendum: My choices of software for text and imageboard respectively are awoo and jschan

@xianc78 @dielan Ensuring your kid is safe nor engaging in idiocy on the computer should have the same procedure as being a sysadmin wrangling normalfags interacting with a Unix-like system. (e.g. no sudo/root escalation privileges, block any pornography/malicious URLs in /etc/hosts, program installation if needed is limited to local installation, no root password login, etc.)

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) can be divided into 3 categories, depending on where the authority resides:

- Secret key (did:key, did:pkh).
- Server (did:web).
- Blockchain (hundreds of them).

With a #DID derived from a secret key you can truly own your identity. Unfortunately, key rotation is not supported, and if you lose your key, you lose everything. This can be partially mitigated with distributed key generation techniques that make key recovery possible if only M of N shards are available, but they are complicated.

Servers can rotate keys, but they can also suddenly disappear, and again you lose everything.

Blockchain-based systems support key rotation and don't have a single point of failure (if done right). Sometimes they are called "servers with superpowers". However, popular ones are not suitable for the job because writing to them is very expensive and their clients need powerful computing devices and a lot of storage.

Is there a way around that? Yes. Blockchains can be very lightweight and they don't actually need a cryptocurrency, miners or stakers in order to work. There is a simple consensus algorithm known as Proof of authority, and one of the Fediverse competitors, Bluesky, seems to be planning to build such system:

>We are actively hoping to replace it with or evolve it into something less centralized - likely a permissioned DID consortium.

They are afraid to say the B-word, but "permissioned consortium" is exactly what it is. Of course, their identity #blockchain doesn't have to be the only one in existence. I think in the future we might see quite a lot of "identity cooperatives" of different shapes and sizes. Perhaps even a universal client, curl for identity, can be developed.
