FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

I‘m very happy that you bring this up. It’s great to have questions to answer and think in many directions, often new ones.
I think this has been done before there were billionaires, both companies and people. Its called cooperation. The not vertically and horizontally integrated version of the companies we have today. A giant containership is a marvelous invention but you dont have to own 10 of these imo. You can rent them, you can have subcontractors that run their own ship and so on. Or am I missing something?
This is obviously just how I see it. Feel free to post this in the community as well to have many people look at it and discuss. Maybe we find solutions and maybe we need to correct our course on some things.
Do you have more examples like this?
This is a great point. "It doesn't work under the existing paradigm" doesn't mean it can't work.
Thank you. I'm pretty curious at how this will turn out. We're already seeing a ton of folks subscribing.
What if we took the CEO/middle management tax off every step in the process. Or made use of economies of scale to cheaply and efficiently provide people with a desirable comfortable standard of living. That could be guaranteed to them. Basic shelter, food and education completely taken care of. Empowering them to further themselves as much as they want to. And being free to work where they want to as much as they want to. Not forced to persist in a toxic environment for a paycheck that is still inadequate.
Its definitely a great idea. Both that and shareholder primacy are very bad for every other stakeholder (environment, community, employees and so on). Imo, if we forces companies to split up we would empower so many people, we might be surprised at how good it could become with our current state of technology. As you said, we might give up forced work alltogether.
