  • Federated application for a map with markers and notes?

    It seems for me that this would be too narrow a purpose.

    Maybe a general-purpose public notification map. With some functionality allowing to separate markers by their authors and by tags. Or it can be spammed with bogus markers. By tags - well, for it to be general-purpose. By authors - because moderation can’t be left to instance admins.

    And, of course, I’m personally for separation of moderation, instance ownership, identities and hosting, but my own toy attempt showed me that the logic of checking the chain of privilege delegation is kinda PITA. That is, separating identities from instances is not that hard. And communities. What’s hard is the community owner delegating rights to other identities, and in general authorized actions. It’s a task of determining which privileges does an identity currently possess, and how does it affect its own actions on the community, and in which order should those be processed … Everything is harder than it seems. Sad.

    So federation is fine LOL.


  • People don’t need reasons to do things gross or disturbing or whatever for you in their own space.

    And the fact that you are continually doubling down shows me that you likely need your hard drives and notebooks checked.

    Thankfully that’s not your concern, and would get you in jail if you tried to do that yourself. Also I’m too lazy for my porn habits to be secret enough, LOL.

    Please don’t respond again unless you are telling me what country you are from so I can report you to the appropriate authorities.

    I don’t think you understand. You’re the fiend here. The kind of obnoxious shit that thinks it’s in their right to watch after others’ morality.

    I wonder, what if I’d try to report you and someone would follow through (unlikely, of course, without anything specific to report), hypothetically, which instances of stalking and privacy violations they’d find?

    You really seem the kind.





  • Ancap makes perfect sense. It wouldn’t be hated\ridiculed otherwise.

    If we make a triangle spectrum of social bases, I’d have in one of the corners ancap, in the other communism (perfect neutral one, like between ancom and trotskyism), and in the third fascism. I won’t make this a square and any kind of “liberal democracy” a corner in it.

    Neither of these extremes makes practical sense when taken pure because it’s impossible to create such a situation.

    They make equally good sense as components.

    (I also think leftists all over the world usually not seriously contemplating how much of their views is actually fascist stuff are making a mistake. It’s better to be conscious.)





  • We were going in that direction with too much trust and enthusiasm.

    Then humongous corps played along to these emotions, while building something that wasn’t considered normal in the rest of the economy for many decades.

    OK, honestly I’m tired of this shit, I think I’m going to start making toys of my own making in some scripting language to illustrate how it should work, not thinking about real world use. I’ve made one, I won’t show it to anyone, but the fact that it worked at all is nice, I guess.

    I couldn’t force myself try starting on the latest idea, because it involves too much of “probably need something like”. Maybe I should just assume those parts as unreliable good-trust connections, as it was done with most of the real web model.

    It’s also, in pure abstract moral terms (which is also why, despite lots of idiots around scolding it, you’ll take ancap only from my cold dead hands), that USA is not an ethnic state of some USian people. It even claims to be an international, open entity in its bloody constitution.

    So I’m not sure that, speaking purely ethically and abstractly, USA even gets to limit immigration in any way (other than quotas to prevent crowds of third world peasants stomping it out ; but not too small ; maybe also other than keeping out those who can’t explain how they are going to make their living there). Probably a homeless immigrant that doesn’t have a job and doesn’t speak English shouldn’t be able to naturalize and get citizenship, but those who pass these three conditions - should and easily.

    That or descendants of immigrants (which is almost all of the USA) going back to their countries of origin and freeing the territory for descendants of the native peoples.

    That’s, again, using ancap-like rigid morality.

    But then in this particular case ancap rigid morality aligns with traditional marxist rigid morality perfectly. So basically in any consistent system of morality underpinning laws it seems that limiting immigration to such a nation is not the same as limiting guest access to your apartment.

    Just in case - I live in Russia and I would with no doubt make the same rules for Russia, if it were up to me.


  • Y-yeah.

    I’m sometimes having conspiracy theories that some of such people are not just scammers, and were purposefully planted. Lots of people had unpleasant (for corps and states) ideas about crowdfunding, self-organization, libertarianism, or maybe anarchism, whatever. Cryptocurrencies too are not all bad, they have their uses. Living in the USA you might not see those clearly. Crowdfunding is a good model (when you can sue the living hell out of scammers).

    It is an existing strategy, highlight your own mule as a leader, let them siphon the sympathizers of an idea to them, then let them loudly fail. You discover those people and their potential mechanisms which could have stayed hidden, and you undermine trust. Repeat until the field is clean. And by weeding out supporters of unfavorable ideas this way in portions, you gradually reduce those possible to act from people opposed to you. So it’s a working strategy for building a totalitarian state (that’s what they did in Russia), for creating a monopoly (that’s what we had in the last 20 years in the web ; even FB, Google etc would initially play as supporters of some free and interoperable Internet, if you remember, they’d support XMPP and RSS here and there and put on nice faces ; then after siphoning the energy that could have went into building a working decentralized IM infrastructure or working decentralized social infrastructure, they’d stop being nice), for basically everything.

    I thought at some point that Russia’s regime is some scourge Russia alone was subjected to, until I saw that it was actually one of the first to show signs of a global change. Probably because it had less inertia due to being weakened after USSR’s breakup.
