If you want to really de-googlify The Net, decentralized search engine should be the first step: http://yacy.net/

The sad thing is, YaCy's stuck in a spiral. It's not very usable as a everyday search because there's not enough peers and they can't index The Whole Internet, so people go away, the search has less peers, indexes less sites…

There is one use case where you add your favorite sites and get a truly personalized search, but again, one computer can't index the whole net.

Sure, sex is good, but have you tried repairing a disposable consumer trinket beyond its planned obsolescence?

a sincere heartfelt thankyou (and condolences) to the admins of all masto instances. it sounds like it's a brand new hell every day

Corporations desperately want to be the new nationalism. How can we stop that from happening? What can we create instead to replace nationalism, that is healthy?

It's not enough for individuals to resist capitalism. The system—a system, some system—must resist capitalism as well.

The question isn't just "how do we dismantle capitalism" it is "how do we build a system that is immune to capitalism"

Just to let you know, following our discussion from last week, I'v started writing a small utility to grab the FMA content from archive.org.

I plan to mirror at least a part of the FMA on open.audio using this :)

From freecycling to Fairphones: 24 ways to lead an anti-capitalist life in a capitalist world

If GenX and Millenials worked together, we could achieve the slack we were born for.

They called us Xers lazy and not interested in work... turns out it was just a way to manipulate us into a unquestioning work ethic.

all I'm saying is... we outnumber them now.

Is there anything like an #ActivityPub based #Wikipedia alternative? I think this would be a really cool project, and if it doesn't exist, it should be created. I would be happy to help write the concept, but most likely not the programming side.

If you are wondering why this is important, the gist of it is that Wikipedia is also a centralized platform, just as much as Twitter or Facebook. This causes various problems, like administrators having too much power and banning users they don't like. Articles are generally written from a capitalist/neoliberal perspective, while leftist viewpoints are censored.

Is anyone speccing out geodata over activitypub?

@cocoron almost as if a central source for anarchist literature with unaccountable curation is a bad thing 🤔
