Most people probably didn't consider the internet something that could be monopolised at the start either.
We have the same view on private social media.
IMO we should treat this like any other instance that goes against what we want to see on the fediverse, defed it on all the main instances and if someone wants to access it they can have a threads account or an account on a small instance that is federated with them.
Some non privacy considerations:
I mean that's already happened with hexbear to a certain extent for IMO very little reason and of course happens to fascist instances understandably.
It should be up to each instance but if there was a vote tomorrow on lemm.ee I'd vote to preemptively block any corporate instance.
I agree that porn is a nsfw way to explain something in a lot of scenarios but I disagree about people needing to know at least the names of a technology from an explanation.
Most people don't need to know or care about the names to understand or use them. Knowing the names after I learnt the commands did not give me greater insight into how the tool works.
If they are just being introduced to git and github then they are likely new to programming and have much more important things to care about like learning their first programming language or understanding how their teams project actually works.
A place to host gits is a perfectly good explanation for anyone who is new to it.
I've got too many atm, fb messenger, insta, discord, signal, SMS.
Signal is what I'm trying to push, not sure if it counts as decentralised 🤷
Looking to consolidate rather than tack on another that I don't think anyone I know uses.
Already using libre wolf with containers so not sure how much of a benefit I'd get from moving to an app.
Again back to minimalism I'd rather move away from it completely than have to have a another service to continue using discord. Could change if I start using matrix.
Instead of going fedi I'm going minimal.
Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.
xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.
discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I'll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.
YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.
Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)
My problem is not with inclusivity but with promoting uptake. If you are familiar with the grammar or phonetic sounds or some of the vocab, you are more likely to find that language easier to learn.
Both English and Esperanto share the same problems of universal languages that I mentioned. English does have the advantage of number of speakers but it is a mess of a language for people to have to learn.
Again to reiterate my counter to universal languages, why not learn and potentially help revive your local indigenous languages. In a world where universal translation exits on our phones everybody being able to speak the same language matters less.
Someone already said that either the created language takes from too few source languages and alienates speakers of languages with no common characteristics or takes from every language family and becomes a horrible mess that's hard to speak for everyone.
So if a world language is a bad idea no matter what languages you use as a source, why not have Esperanto or something similar for Europe/English speaking world and then a different language for Asia, and another one for Africa. You've reduced the number of translators needed and left most people with a language close to their mother tongue. You could also break the suggested regions in to smaller sections eg give Germanic Europe a common Germanic language. West/south Europe get Esperanto, east Europe sets a common slavic language. You still get languages that don't neatly fit like Hungarian but its better for most language learners than the last example.
Personally I'd not propose universal languages as a utopian idea and instead promote indigenous languages such as Catalonian, Breton, Irish and promote learning many languages in a post work society.
Apologies I misread your comment and thought you were saying the CCP were Nazi's.
Since you mentioned it, i have to ask what's so bad about China now?
Not a big fan of any nation state myself as an anarchist but want to know specifically what you'd consider bad that couldn't be applied to the US or other western nations.
Don't tell me you think the Nazi party were socialist because it was in their name?
It is an insult to a people suffering from a famine Americas ally has manufactured, to drop 1% of the needed aid(and kill people doing it) when you could stop the famine by letting the hundreds of truck in that are sitting on the border......
