One would think that the current Liberal CRTC would be better at maintaining competition than the previous Conservative CRTC, and yet here we are. start.ca is now telus, and teksavvy is soon to be.... Rogers? Bell? Viacom?
Fuck it, bring on Starlink!

Cheerio!

This makes sense to me. I have to wonder how fast this community will be sidetracked with pointless comments if people wander in thinking it's the 'main' sub. My thinking was - if you shouldn't say it in a parliamentary setting, it should not be said in the Agora. Aw but that's not fun! one might think... again I would say take it to main street. just my opinion.

I would agree with this statement.

Thanks!

Aye

I'm interested in helping to mod The Agora.
Despite ongoing monopolization and domination of the free internet today, I personally still believe in the potential of technology to democratize institutions and I think a platform like lemmy is uniquely suited to develop and promote a powerful form of representative democracy.
I haven't really modded any kind of forum in the past, but I am motivated to commit my time and interpersonal skills to the development of this community.
I support free speech as long as it does not break any laws. I am a long time redditor. I witnessed digg destroy itself, and for many years I have been disappointed in how a centralized reddit has become captured by corporate power.
Concerning the potential of sh.itjust.works/c/agora, I currently see the community as being more suited to discussion, and I'm not entirely sure how we could apply this site in it's current form to the process and procedure of voting on policy. It may be useful to consider moving the actual voting to a decentralized platform that is designed around voting on specific items. Something on a blockchain? A DAO application? Anyways, please let me know if I can be of service to this unique experiment in representative democracy and self-government.

Aye

Nay! This is arbitrary censorship of an entire instance because they host content that disagrees with you. The support for such a measure here is more disturbing than the content itself.

I deleted my stuff yesterday. Today its all back. Im blown away!
