  • You don’t have to make your own server (unless you really want to!). Just start a community on a server you like.

    The one catch is that others can start a community of the same name and/or interest on another server and that gets a little confusing because then there are two, of course.

    I wish that communities could “federate” with each other from different instances but then that raises a bunch of logistics issues about how this is moderated, how is this presented to the users, etc.



  • Both yes and no. If you fall into an algorithmic rabbit hole, you might never see the truth- they’ll just throw bullshit at you to keep you engaged. This is being abused at an alarming rate to metaphorically zombify people into angry little brownshirts.

    On the other hand, we can witness the atrocities in Palestine; we can see the mobs of settlers beating people out of their homes, we can see videos of indiscriminate collective punishment via weapons of mass destruction, and we can see the shitposting IDF soldiers do on social media bragging about the rape and violence they did today. We can watch Trump lie and get fact checked in real time, or witness them try to sanewash the insanity we just witnessed live.
