As always the goal is to learn.

On the Amish, the point is both communities on whatever scale abuse those beneath them. Statistically you probably are in a demographic area to actually impact the Amish, but aren't of China. But you're twice as bent out of shape on scope as where you could actually fix a similar problem for voiceless individuals.

I don't forgive the abusers, but the idea that a modeled federated system is both in their ideology and model of the fediverse means they have a pretty clear idea of it. I come from the era where the biggest problem was death by committee and they'll know it well. How are they going to tackle the explosion of federators?

The point to a pluralist society is being able to have a dialogue. Because someone had the best idea for everything even if they were an idiot about everything else.

Ignorant of history, and willing to loudly announce it. Start by googling the Soviet model and then graph it. Now look at the fediverse.

The point in Amish communities is they often result in terrible abuse, unreported and unprosecuted. I've been lucky enough to call a few friends from amongst that community, they wouldn't end it despite seeing the same problems.

For all your high handed bull shit you and I are going to do precisely the same for the Uyghurs. What you can do is find a tool to leave your small world behind.

Because there is a world of grey.

Why not?

I am diametrically opposed to the cloistering of the Amish and have nice chairs.

The idea that the best idea shouldn't win because they believe someone or something you don't is lunacy when you have the entire disgression on how to engage with them.

More interesting to me if you study the fediverse model, their ideology might lead me to ascribe some confidence in the model the same as I have in Amish work ethic. Especially as someone who knows you can be pro marx and still think defending Stalin makes you a loon.

I wonder if they expect to be able to have chatGPT supply all the memes.

Just a textbook case of not knowing the free labor was the product.
