What did you like about the Dawn of Everything? I got about halfway through but found them to be overly focused on trying to achieve Rosseau's goal of equality (from what I remember) in a way I didn't find particularly worthwhile.

I agree it was definitely an oversight to exclude libertarian from the options. The two axis political spectrum chart would've probably been more informative.

According to a recent study Bitcoin is actually surprisingly balanced across the political spectrum:

I highly recommend checking out the idea of digital minimalism if you haven't already. Personally I usually keep my home free of internet devices, and the ability to focus on books and writing has been a major difference for me.

There's a positive sum way to give women attention, where you enjoy giving them your attention, they enjoy receiving it, and that creates a kind of 'crackling' and dynamic energy for to start a conversation and build a relationship from.

It's actually borderline supernatural the extent to which women will go off a man's vibe, I can't recommend cultivating it within yourself enough. Even in bitterness there's room to parse out the victimization from the powerful dark side women enjoy to (when calibrated to them).

There will be people like your sister who try to take advantage of the dynamic between men and women, but frankly it's on those guys for not actually paying attention to her and seeing what she's doing. Just like she'll be responsible for whatever life brings her way after 10 - 15 years of treating men that way. I wouldn't give either too much thought, there are plenty of women in the world who will act differently, and to think you wouldn't be able to find and attract them to is self-defeating.

You got this man! As men, we genuinely like giving women attention, and women genuinely like receiving it from us, it's a match made in goddamn heaven.

I'm hopeful w/o the ability for administrators to interfere, territories would still be able to preserve and maintain themselves against the unthinking masses.

I agree completely. I think it will be interesting to see what social media could look like if / when the incentives change from monetizing user attention to monetizing value brought to the user re: zaps.

I think you could end up seeing more thoughtful and longform posts that go a little deeper than is currently the norm and are more constructive in envisioning a positive future rather than emotional reactions to the current event.

I could also see the focus shifting from current events back to the personal interests, community building, and collaboration which would be cool too.

Out of curiosity, is this something Fedi could be useful for, or are the stewards still vulnerable to regulation?

Apolgogies for asking here, not sure where else I could ask, but if anyone has an invite they could send me that would be amazing

I'd love to see how many active users there are, definitely doesn't feel like 1.6 million.

I am really interested to see what social media platforms look like when the incentive is to receive money directly from users rather than advertisers monetizing their attention, and with anyone being able to develop clients using the same protocol.
