Ohhhh I did not expect such an endorsement :D

Ty a lot

Predictably rough start because solarpunk and even Reddit are not that famous in italy. Most of the “””scene””” is fine on telegram and discord so asking to speak more in public and less in private is gonna be hard but for the sake of free flow of information and a slower pace social media we will still try u.u

“Italy bans” 🙃 I didn’t know that Reuters makes clickbaits

Some days ago the premier talked shit about a Manifesto just to make noise about something else and now this

I feel like the political discourse is at a level: dogs running around to take sticks they throw at us, always following never leading…

Ye and if they owned servers they would need to pay electricity and internet connections to some capitalistic operators

If they had even solar panels they’d still buy them from capitalistic companies

If they even owned solar panel production they’d still buy materials from capitalistic mines

If they’d also buy the mines they’d now need some form of army to defend them or they’d need to pay some capitalistic mercenaries company

You understand that we have to start somewhere, right?

the second they don’t have enough donations to pay the bills the messenger will seize working

It’s a bit like worrying about donations to Wikipedia or the internet archive honestly. They are so big that probably a lot of people would stop them from failing.

I never read “VC funded” as someone who donated money and also was a VC. To me it’s always Venture capitalists investments asking for power and margin returns. Hence also it makes the product much more prone to enshittify to keep the numbers go up

Signal is none of this but yes, got a headstart by someone who happens to be also ~~a VC~~ a rich person?

Edit: I edit because I cannot find anything that links Acton to vc activities actually 🤔

It was, hands down, THE place for every Italian media

I’ve tried using simplex but it’s simply (ahah) too slow for groups

I like it privacy wise but I think it’s better for small groups (<10) and 1 on 1 chats

Big chats are kinda a scam anyway, they should be forums lol

Least reactionary gamer

Tor is being rewritten in Rust :3

I won’t read their paper because every kind of DAO is the same in the end so I can generalize it.

They probably use a DAO form to raise money from people giving them back a token that allows them a form of digital ownership. Basically is what an association or a cooperative can do but if they do not actually build that coop or org it just stays a useless token in front of the law. Are they conscious of it? Who knows. Is it good? Ehhh, only if the people behind it are actually iron willed and will keep the mission in front of earnings because, as I said, legally the ownership is on them and not on all the token owners.

I’d avoid it. There are a lot of ways to pay associations to plant trees or ensure wildlife while also not feeding a bullshit machine :)

just answer ''thank you for the disgust sentiment, really needed that from a friend, cya''

if they say ''no'' but they lying, just treat it as a real no because people not able to be open about this are not ready for a healthy relationship

tbh i don't worry too much about datacenters because they can be built under the land, under ice, alone in the desert full of solar panels and so on. the heat in the winter can also be used to heat houses if it's in the city..

the sad part is that most of that energy is used for bullshit tasks for surveillance capitalism.

Out of touch also in feeling like it’s funny to post this shit

Even if it was true, would still be a cringe meme.

I hope that OP is just young and naive and not an old who thinks the world is divided like that
