  • Start a housing coop and community land trust to keep housing in the hands of people that need it. Rapid public transport for the housing coop for work, groceries, etc. Buy the old tracks and turn them into intercity people carries.

    Buy the land from friends and family to pay off their debts and give it to the community land trust.

    Start a community coop grocery store, pharmacy, clinic, etc.

    Start a community electric coop focused on being a microgrid first and connection the national grid second.

    Start a community fiber and wireless ISP coop, and fighting tool and nail to end the current ISPs state monpoly on shitty expensive service.

    Try and create guerenteed minimums for both so no one has to disconnect because the money istoo tight.













  • To be honest I don’t think we are ready for that level of scrutiny. I would imagine if he were to agree, he would do research first, and the Fediverse has a lot of unanswered questions for the mainstream person.

    Can the Fediverse sustain users, both in usability and costs (see also “Can we keep up with user growth”)? How will NFSW moderation work, since so far I see most instances saying it won’t and just shutting down that vector of work and questions? How does regulation or working with authorities look like on the Fediverse (this is antithetical to most Fediverse goals, but for main stream people a normal question)? How will user verification work for celebrities or important figures? What are the ethical consideration to support devs, like the lemmy devs, with controversial opinions?

    Some of these are whataboutism when comparing to Reddit. Some of these just stuff the average Redditor and Fediverse user couldn’t care less about, or frankly don’t want asked, but these are top questions I would expect a liberal journalist to be asking, even if they are generally anti-corperate and pro-grassroots.


  • I personally 100% support the use of peertube as the primary video platform. It really seems to go towards addressing the cost issue with being a video hosting platform. The only step I would take further is having IPFS being the cold storage backend for images as well, and integrate both into the app/website levels, so clients can participate in contributing sharing. If needed, a proxy service so that clients that are concerned about IP leakage, but can’t use TOR or a VPN have an option.
