Because you are making the tired old authoritarian argument that democracy is slow, and therefore it’s better to create hierarchical organisations with some benevolent dictators. And I believe that power always corrupts so it’s not a good solution. You believe some different so we will never agree.

You don’t have to have everybody worry about owner duty. Cooperatives doesn’t have to be tiny organisations. You can have full time employees and so on: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_cooperative_movement

You’ll never be able to compete with mega corps that can scale and sell your data, in order to provide a service for free. Price will never be the selling point of a more democratic web.

Why would it have to be cheaper? I’m not going to make a list. It’s a normal form of organisation in my country. For example my whole apartment complex is owned by the people who live there. We vote on what we want to pay in rent and how we want to spent the money.

And the same can be done with data coops. Here is one: https://data.coop/

There are others, with other values.

In my country a coop is a legal entity and it does give you actual ownership. And we do have data coops where people pay, and vote on how services should be developed.

Non profit coops. It need to be people owned.

It’s the internet. Dont question the weird!

No, it is supposed to be a weapon in the class war… https://logicmag.io/failure/the-automation-charade/

Good! People should not eat that crap. It’s hardly food.

You parents would just tell you something and you assumed it was true until you learned years later they where just winging it with bullshit.

How much proof do you need. The Wikipedia page alone have tons of sources.

The Star Wars universe is not interesting enough for all the TV show and movies being made. George Lucas is not Tolkien and the world building was fine enough for the original trilogy, but it’s simply too boring for more content. Tolkiens work gets more interesting as you learn more about the details. Star Wars is the opposite. The more information you get the less interesting it is.

Also the Jedis are just cops/soldiers. They are not inherently good.

And Crusader Kings 3

Blå = blue Haj = shark

Blue shark. Also known as the great blue shark in English.

Not if you steal your food.

I have given up on this series. I’m not even sure I would read the next book if it was released tomorrow. Maybe if the series is ever fully released I might reread it from the beginning to end. It’s like if Netflix published books.

The network effect is definitely at play. But the usability is not really there yet. Just finding communities through the app I’m using is not always working right.

Lemmy is not ready for a more mainstream user base.

We also have to stop thinking that everything has to grow fast, and lose hope just because it’s not. Change take a really long time. Sometimes decades. Silicon Valley are obsessed with fast growth because it’s all driven by the promise of easy money. No need to adopt their mindset. Look how fast their products turn to shit.

But is this actually a problem. Does people go around now and need proof that they bought some property?

To me it seems like blockchain is a solution looking for problems that doesn’t really exist.
