I use this for architecture and it’s saved me so much time

“I have a girlfriend but she lives in Canada and doesn’t have any socials”

If i’m understanding the last graph right, it’s showing the total number of active monthly users per instance’s top communities, filtered by the overall top 100 communities?

So if an instance has activity spread out over many niche communities, that activity isn’t represented on this graph?

I would think having a diversity of smaller communities is more in-line with the spirit of the fediverse, I’m not sure of the value in slicing the data in this way.

You don’t have to abolish hierarchy, you just have to de-tangle work from sustenance-level resource distribution. A UBI sufficient for living would be enough. Even providing universal housing and reducing the workweek would help.

Copyright simply makes creative work profitable, but profit isn’t necessarily a prerequisite for creative work.

No, i’m talking about all intellectual works (copyrights and patents being some of the categories commonly used)

Humans need no incentive to create new works, but the way we distribute resources requires us to make these rules so that those creators fit within our ‘work for food’ production model.

Even a modest UBI would support most creative endeavors, but instead of that we have a “monetize your work or starve” arrangement.

Because it manufactures scarcity and causes us to repeatedly expend energy reproducing things that could be otherwise copied and enjoyed at near-zero cost.

We keep inventing silly rules in order to put off dealing with the existential threat our mode of production represents. “Copyright” is the first and silliest of those rules.

Abolish copyright.

in case it was unclear: accusing someone of narcissism as a personality trait isn’t the same as accusing them of a PD.
