Looks awesome! I love witnessing all the progress the System76 team is making. It really makes it seem like anything is possible.
Just an anime nerd who also has a fascination with programming language design

In a similar vein, Evelyn Wang from Everything Everywhere All At Once… She may not start out badass, but oh boy does that change
It gets funnier when you realize Berd made a video about exactly how the Internet responds to typos in arguments:
They are. Which is why these people go for FWB…if they can even get that
You know, I had never noticed this correlation until you brought it up, but it’s kind of sad how accurate it is…
It’s funny you mention this, because a few days ago I went to my local market to grab milk, and the regular milk was more expensive that the plant-based milk…never thought I’d see this day in the US!
This is exactly correct, and herein lies the problem: how do you monetize content creation from people you don’t pay?
Louis Rossman said it best: when you look at a lot of content platforms, you realize their business models don’t make sense. The people managing these companies are riding on VC money knowing full well there isn’t any long-term return. They want to cash out and dip.
This is why I feel like a Federated, user-maintained system is probably best for the long term sustainability of a community. People want a place to enjoy something or someone? Let’s make it happen, by our own means
As someone who really only went on Reddit for memes and techie discussions, I think I can say this: for my use-case, there was nothing special about Reddit itself. In fact, one thing I have realized is just how little the nature of the host matters beyond ease of use. Sure, certain formats lend themselves better to certain use-cases, but ultimately humans are social creatures, and even in the most inconvenient of circumstances, we find a way to make it work.
And once you realize that, it becomes less about the medium, and more about the people who lead the discourse. From what I can gather, Reddit lost that discourse a long time ago. And as such, their downfall was only a matter of time.
I wish I could up-vote more than once…
