You can’t be both a small community and replace for profit social networks. I thought the point of all this was the second one.
I love controversy.

Just let people build more housing. In most American cities it’s either totally impossible or so expensive only millionaires and big real estate companies can afford it. There’s no reason for a permitting process that takes 5 years or for single family zoning, other than homeowners self interest and racism.
Bluesky is working on a fix. They have a global identity system where you can move all your data (posts, likes, followers, blocks) to another instance if you get banned. The only thing that changes is your handle.
Don’t do that. Deleting your account is enough and some of your comments might be useful info that doesn’t exist anywhere else.
Valve has a pretty unique flat structure that could protect them from a corporate buyout, even more if Gaben decides to transfer ownership into an employee trust and turn it into a full co-op when he leaves.
Even in the US there’s no law against hosting encrypted files. They could be liable if they knew a specific file was illegal/pirated and didn’t take it down but a recent SCOTUS case (think it was Twitter v Taamneh) set the precedent that general knowledge of illegal activity is not enough.
Mint is very opinionated and made explicitly for less technical users. If you have basic command line skills (or you’re willing to learn) Fedora gives you more choice and in my experience it’s actually more reliable than Debian based distros.
This gives me an idea. Make a federated torrent site. It would be practically impossible to take down and one instance going offline because they don’t have money wouldn’t destroy everything like in RARBG’s case.
Email addresses are not private info. You don’t have to put your real name in them.
Bluesky has a global identity system where instance accounts are just links to a DID (basically your private key). If you get banned from an instance you have to change your name but you keep all your posts and likes.
These are all fast, violent and kind of similar to each other:
Or limit copyright terms to ~20 years and repeal Section 1201 (together with 512 for good measure). That would cover far more than just old games.
