I guess it shouldn't be surprising, but I'm still surprised that even today internationalization is treated like a bolt-on thing as opposed to "first principles" in programming and data design.

I"m probably doing a poor job of articulating this, but it's just weird to me that all i18n approaches I find treat one language as "prime" and the rest as something secondary.

Was it #GetTogether?

https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether

However I don't think they've implemented #ActivityPub yet.

Also, check my history, there was a discussion of #Hubzilla, which I was interested in for this purpose - it already implements #ActivityPub (and a bunch of other federated protocols).

@david_ross

Anyone here have an inkling how hard it might be to reskin/adapt #Mastodon, or preferably #Pleroma (simpler) to function like #meetup.com?

@Gin Pockets of freedom are unlikely to be evenly distributed, and re-arranging them geographically will be daunting. I think the federations will be logical more than geographical, establishing good neighbour relationships with other bridge federations that we may find disgusting at times.
Probably nothing new, it must have been more or less the same during the days of Arabic Spain, or among the many kindgoms before the unification of Italy.

@h But extending libertarian municipalism into the future, one where it has succeeded to take root in multiple cities and people are obviously free to move around, doesn't it make sense that just like a FB bubble people are going to surround themselves with like-minded people?

The HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) #Kanye West wants to build cities now.

Got me thinking about what #libertarian #municipalist cities would look like if they were built new. Each one with its own aesthetic, and its prioritisation of specific values.

Before Trump won all the white nationalists were talking about was an opt-out option. Would that be the future of lib-municipalism?Alt-righters in one city, anarcho-primitivists in another, ancoms in one place, liberals begging us to stay put?

> Apparently, Mexico has now passed a law allowing judges to order the removal any on-line content that the judge deems violate author's rights or copyright. There's now discussion if possible penalties which include
physical seizure and "detention" of equipment and servers.

Remember that these people try out stuff in Mexico before bringing it to the U.S. so this is important for ALL. Take a look at the piece if you can.

@ghost i don't subscribe to the workerist ideology. Workerism is basic christianism at its root, a primitive mandate to make people work for kings and lords. It's inhuman especially now that machines can do so much of the work. It's especially inhuman when capitalists *AND* workerist workers enforce this primitive ideology on people who can't be workers. I find it immoral and disgusting, really. People who weren't afforded the same chances by biology should never be held to the same standard

The eight-hour day is an anachronism when at current levels of productivity most people should be working only three. It was an achievement more than a hundred years ago when Uruguay made it the law in 1915, but it's not a great thing to not make any progress in a hundred years.

The show must move on. #MayDay
