Does your ideal society not have good demographic information about its population available? Why not?

The entire point of the census is to collect detailed information about your population though

I don’t care, do you?

Touche, you got us. We better just do nothing. Wouldn’t want to accidentally try

Fort Mac is surrounded for 500km in every direction by trees, and the fact that tailings ponds exist instead of the tailings simply being dumped directly into the Athabasca is as a direct result of the functioning of environmental regs. Ya dildo

Point is, in this case it’s just compliance. They aren’t doing anything other than what they’re “supposed to”

Rick and Morty

Well said

And I’ve sat through a thousand of them

Ideally as much oil would remain in the ground as possible going forward, I’d agree.

Until that ideal world shows up I’d rather it be us doing the extraction in a country with labour laws and environmental regulations

We got both

Of course, that’s where all the scary people are.

It’s not like they’re going to spy on board rooms and country clubs and trading floors, what could possibly be going on there to destabilise our society

Someone just tell me that there are backups of most of this properly archived somewhere. Just tell me that, I’m not asking if it’s true, I just need someone to say that.

We love to see civil disobediance

But these are real alternatives. They’re real alternatives that by the nature of them being non corporate are more difficult to market, stick in a neat box for consumers. But that’s not a negative.

I agree with anything that removes friction and helps people get away from corporate captured social media but fundamentally at some point where this is what the fediverse is and it’s why it’s the way it is.

The alternatives do exist and the 0.1% of people that want to use them, are. If more people want to use the fediverse in future thats great, but I don’t want to just get people lumped under a particular umbrella because it’s what I personally want. The fediverse doesn’t need to be the biggest social media platform for me to feel validated.

The fediverse is a tool. I don’t choose what tool to use based on what everyone’s favourite tool is. I base it on the job at hand

Why would anyone think you’re Maga for that

Why? It’s all public information. If a central authority COULD delete all your posts and erase your existence, that would be bad

Do they not fucking check this stuff? When I sign a petition to my government they want to know if I’m a constituent or not. Otherwise why would they care about my signature on a page

Yeah, ultimately in the end if it’s a good project and somehow it all gets federated together one day who knows.
