    @cindy Yes, although this method doesn't always work. Many years back people tried to make GNU/Linux distros which looked extremely similar to Windows to make it as easy to switch as possible, but that didn't really go anywhere.

    The talk about the refugees who helped Snowden in Hong Kong was probably testing the outermost limits of empathy for a technology crowd at 34C3. These people didn't have any cool tech demo or surveillance hot take to deliver. They merely helped someone in trouble for a short time.

    It would be good if they could get asylum in Germany, but I know that getting asylum anywhere these days is hard, and if you look into the specifics for Germany it's still quite grim.

    @cocoron There may be negative consequences to anything new, but there are already a lot of negative consequences. Keeping what we have now isn't really an option unless total economic and environmental collapse is the goal.

    "The way our digital lives have been structured to depend on third party intermediaries that simply pass our communications on to our friends and families while all the time spying on us to make money isn’t fate. It is the result of many decisions made because it was easier this way or because it would make money for those in the middle. They were never made because they were in the best interest of the people actually using the product. It’s not too late to design and implement a different system."

    1. Decentralization 2017
      from Think Deeply and Rebuild Things
      Earlier this year, a group out of the MIT Media Lab published a research paper called “Defending Internet Freedom through Decentralization: Back to the Future?” which is well worth reading. The paper recognizes the threat to the open internet posed by the growing centralization of services and data within a handful of companies. The same group, consisting of Chelsea Barabas, Neha Narula, and Ethan Zuckerman, also published an opinion piece in Wired called “Decentralized Social Networks Sound Great.

    Hi there! I'm Maslow, I work in software/electrical engineering on satellites and am a bisexual lady.

    I'm really interested in #dat, #ipfs, #ssb, #meshnetworks, #socialjustice, and #privacy.

    I love my big, floofy dog, and currently live in Washington, DC.

    ALL of this is just numbers in a database. None of it is freakin' gold nuggets. It's not even CASH. Why, why, WHY, if we have to live in a capitalist hellscape but in a world where I can type all of this to you all in seconds, can they not push some numbers around in the same amount of time?

    Capitalism is BULLSHIT, I tell you.

    @paulfree14 @maiyannah Other instances can have their own policies, which may make no sense from my point of view, but that's up to them. If I block people it's usually on an individual basis.

    @paulfree14 @maiyannah As an instance, if they're not doing anything illegal but merely engaging in some weird geoblocking then that's not much of a problem except for themselves.

    @solderpunk @matt This is where the federated model is interesting because to some extent you can collectivize defensive decisions. If you trust the admin of an instance and they make public what their blocking policy is then that may be one way to scale up a community or a movement in a manner which reduces workload on the members.

    Similar could happen in a pure p2p system, like Scuttlebutt, if there are subscribable blocklists with some sort of authentication mechanism on who is creating them. So maybe you could agree to share a blocking policy with a few other specified peers.

    @solderpunk @matt The main point about censorship is the question of who does it. Ideally it's done by yourself - i.e. you get to choose what you do or don't want to see - or someone you trust. The bad type of censorship is performed by governments or corporations or by people you don't actually trust to make good decisions or who are actively working against your own interests.
