@troubleMoney Ah. Okay. So, basically, let jack and his techbro lackeys play around with whatever they like. It won't really matter to us. Makes sense.

that youtube thing 

Two, the lack of organization. Far smarter people than I have mused on this far better than I, but basically, it's got next to no organization, which really isn't gonna lead to anything. I mean hell, it was barely communicated. Most of the info on it is apparently on youtube of all places, and a lot of people seem to only be finding out about it *as it happens*. I, for one, only learned of it yesterday morning. How are you gonna present any demands with this kinda organizing?

that youtube thing 

Yeah, I'm done supporting it for a few reasons.
Let's start with the time limit on it. That's not how strikes and boycotts work people. You don't just do it for a few days. You keep going until you get what you want. This will accomplish *nothing* because the higher ups at youtube *know* they can just wait it out. A few days from now, all but a few of the people supporting this will go right back to using youtube. They can wait.

At any rate, twitter's a hellsite and I don't want it touching this lovely place

So, Jack wants to defederate twitter. Obviously, a lot of our first thoughts is "Isn't that basically just reinventing activitypub?" But do we really want twitter to use activitypub? Like, a lot of people link to twitter for interesting stuff put there. If twitter used activitypub, a lot of existing instances would defederate immediately. Wouldn't that hinder the ability to use those links, or do I not know how mastodon administration works?

Uh oh. Kat's about to delve into some hot topics. Watch out.

Petition to remake the internet in to a newer, better internet. It can still be called the internet we'll just call the old one The Adscape.

@andre@hellsite.site define "american"

Are we talking from the US or from the Americas?

Ableism, hot take 

If your attitude is "disabled folk are going to be fucked when the revolution comes, deal with it", congratulations, you've edged towards eugenics. :thonking:

Serious Question

Why is the boycott only 3 days?
Arent boycotts like... Supposed to be permanent? Till the conditions are met?

Libraries! In Your Vicinity (Hopefully)! They have books, amongst other things!
Going outside (if you can)! If cars haven't ruined the landscape, you might just find your new favorite dog walking route!
Drawing! You suck? Try sucking in an original way! Do it for yourself! Or maybe someon you love! Once you're in the zone, you won't care about what the galleries and comment sections would think!

media.ccc.de! not just for computer stuff! wanna see interesting talks? they have them! I recommend: The Ultimate Gameboy Talk, How to dispose of a body, and Scuttlebutt
Bandcamp! Lots of DRM free music, regularly curated!
Webcomics! A genre I wish I could invest more time in, but I've invested enough of it into reading The Order Of The Stick to heartily recommend it to just about anyone! Drugs And Wires is also a good one!

sites to visit and things to do instead of #youtube:
listen to podcasts and audiodramas! your favorite podcast app probably has a search function already and there a lot of good podcast lists out there. I recommend Greater Boston as a good starter. My favorite way to listen is by downloading a bunch of episodes and taking a long walk.
Archive.org! has a lot of movies and just a lot of Stuff In General!

"We can put a man on the moon but we can't —"

No, I'm gonna stop you there. We put men in the moon at one point. We very much cannot do that right now, and frankly, we're much too fucked up to get it together enough for a repeat.

Besides, what the fuck's on the moon, anyway?

Are these original? Probably not.
Did I come up with myself? Yep!
Am I proud of them? Yeah, probably disappointingly so.
