  • Honestly no, and that’s okay?

    Early web2 websites like MySpace did become “popular”. But IMO one of its layckings was trying out web2 by evolving something from web1’s static websites.

    Where Facebook is the platform that popularized web2 in a way that worked with what web2 was and fundamentally build something new off of that.

    I think Lemmy/mastatdon/most current federated clones that exist today won’t last all that long. Something that is built with federation to its core and instead of just being a feature, is central to its offering.

    What is that? Not a god damn clue.

    But I’m excited to try it out.

    Disclaimer: not a historian. Born in the early 90s so a lot of my judgement above is bassed off of foggy memories and are my opinions and only opions.

    I see the common mistake of associating the left with authoritarianism.

    China and such are not left. They’re even further right to the point of fascism labeled communism.

    Remebere communism/socialism is about the workers relation to the means of production. Chinese people do not own the factories they work on, so I’m not sure you can call them left.












  • Can you see how “there’s not a better solution” isn’t addressing the problem that crypto is fundamentally a scam?

    Also, you can’t pay your rent with crypto either….

    EDIT: if you want crypto to pass my sniff test, you have to explain where value comes from.

    Fiat currency is valuable because I can pay my taxes with it. (This is really the only reason it has value).

    So what underpins crypto value beyond “it’s the future”
