Network effects are about quality, not just quantity. Here I can follow all these starter packs of random interesting academic specialties and ask questions as a random person and people are often nice enough to answer because every reply isn't a bot or an asshole or an assholebot.
Agree with you on the word “conservative.” I choke on calling them”right-wing” because I feel it validates them when they’re right about almost nothing. And it feeds into the cliche, “Might is right.”
When something is broken beyond repair you need to throw it out & start over. Elon bought Twitter thinking the audience didn’t have a better choice-but they didn’t want the cocky self-absorbed service he tried to shove down our throats. @BlueSky.bsky.social is the refreshing alternative. X is ☠️
I view government the same way. It's broken beyond repair. It's a system based on the notion that individual life is cheap. It isn't anymore, which is why society is breaking down. Governments are a control system that is not compatible with the modern world.
I’m feeling that as well. As I watched this election and everything happening in the world, it frustrates good people who feel unable to make change because those who can make a difference are beholden to institutions / individuals with money and power.
That's why I'm working on building the new system to replace the old. The system is going to collapse. It just isn't working anymore. We have to build the new system or we have nothing. And we're not going to have as much time to do it with Trump and his gang in power.
Oh it is! The overall plan is massive. It's also broken up into easy to manage pieces that people can get involved in even if they're not interested in the bigger picture. For instance, I'm working on setting up a network of education and volunteer programs, and the goal is to have such networks...
It’s also interesting that normal media, which has for years used…without a thought…what was Twitter to deliver/promote the product of their reporters, now is realizing it has a serious problem. Love it.

IOW: One can only stand so much hatred and toxicity before one finds a way to (puts sunglasses on) Bluer Skies.
Yeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh! (Bitchin guitar lick)
My daddy was conservative. My grandpa was conservative.
Trump followers are not conservative. They are extremists, reactionaries, far-right-wing.
Let's restore true meaning to the word conservative!
