I was contacted and told to make sure to let at least one other person know. Hope you guys share this shit out of this.

https://social.io/ just says "hello there"

https://ello.co/ seems interesting, aimed at artists. The interface is annoying. I prefer DeviantArt.

I hope that sword in her right hand is put to good use before too long. Thanks

I have a pen, a fitting weapon for a Mighty Mouse.

Yes, the pen is mightier than, but on occasion use of the sword comes in handy for serial murderers like those who have caused the recent disruption of the world economy and a few thousand deaths. We are disagreeing Jason. I'm having a blood-thirsty day.

How about we send them all to Devil's Island?

The pen can be used as a blow dart, or many spread on the floor to make it a comedy of slippage. Spray the ink in their face. Or put them in rapid fire crossbows. I am/was teasing.

I too would like to see all the ruling class and their deep state beheaded - or turned to rational humanism. Violence is a slippery slope. An eye for an eye seems fair - except the first guy didn't ask to lose his eye. And when does death by a thousand cuts demand defensive action? If your loved one is killed, how many of the people involved must be taken out to be fare? Obviously the villain who did it, perhaps their buddies that helped him, and their commanding officer who ordered it, and their boss all the way up the chain of command?

Worse is when our neighbours around us will inevitably get desperate and stoop to vile actions. It does not look good.

So switching one social media for another? Sounds inconsequential.

In theory, a decentralized social network, ran by individuals, for the people they know and are local to them, joined to other small local social networks of individuals local to them ram by an individual, has potential to be a great thing. Think cells of a guerrilla warfare group, the underground railroad during the US civil war, or the spy groups during the American revolutionary war.

Hubzilla and others listed here, has a potential to shine. Groups like Facebook and Twitter at some point will begin actively reporting groups violating social distancing or the "new norms" that will be enplaced to enslave the few citizens who refuse to bow to the state.

YES ! Decentralize All Things !

Mastodon and PeerTube are prime examples.

Yes in theory that could be a good thing but we live in reality.

When Facebook and others increasingly tighten their grip, people will check out. And the further down the rabbit hole we go with individuals reporting on the activities of others, those non-conformers who refuse to comply will increasingly look to alternative means of communication and information distribution. Saidit remains a testament to the fact that some will choose not remain with the groupthink.

Make no mistake, even when this iteration of covid ends, the control by the state is only really just getting started. The opening salvo has been made but there are still some resistance pockets left. Not as many as most of us would've hoped, but more than what they thought existed.

The state has found out a vast majority of the people are compliant. They've found that you can turn hospitals into prisons, doctors into informants, and social media into an anonymous state sponsored tip line for telling on rule breakers. They've found that most people want govt to give them security, to the point that they'll let drones hover above their city, exercise in masks and gloves outdoors, and give up basic freedoms and nark on their neighbors and family to get it.

I think it is reality that will drive it to fruition.

Maybe so but it won't matter if all the information is coming from the same place. What to pay attention to is still controlled it doesn't matter what platform you're on. That's evident on saidit and many other "alternative" sites.

Yet here you are, not on Reddit.
