    proposed by different people

    English speakers internet literate so we would have already cut down most of the world

    then we help each other within our limited means

    So it doesn’t solve the problem that is the fact that the richer(s? 🤔) need to pay for the lasts and we would be just in a worse situation than now (at least here in Europe would be much worse than status quo, in US idk)

    The system I propose applies to everyone who agrees, without geographic bounds. You pick and choose the agreements that you believe in, and therefore the people you want to associate with, and the way in which you want to associate with them. It’s consent vs coercion.

    Yep I got this part right and I’ve also had the same idea in the past. But never tried to implement it because of the stuff we already saying + if someone is already paying 40% of their income in taxes how would they live agreeing to another set of law for another 40% of the remaining? Either all reclaiming some sort of indipendence from their country (and now we asking people much more than just following the rules, but to live as outlaws in their countries) or idk living with almost no income. Reclaiming land by grouping in an area and slowly taking political control by consent still looks more realistic and less dangerous to me (but it requires people to move and looks like no one wants that lol)

    maybe even a nuclear exchange

    People that want this could agree on this and could be the people that have the power to do that while us agreeing on not doing this with 0 power over them, for example. Or just most of the world agreeing on “there may be only 2 genders and 2 only” and stuff like this :o

    I find myself wishing to exclude me and my people from the system but that would be just a way to protect us during the future events, not to actually change the world

    Btw check out the, I think abandoned, basisproject.net in the meanwhile; also circles basic income

    i kinda agree on everything and i also think about social networks with a positive outcome quite a lot myself so i’ve read it interested in the topic. The main issue is the old ‘‘the devil lies in the details’’.

    sharing agreemement, easy; sharing them with technology, easy; creating communities around those agreements, kinda easy and so on. What’s the hardest bottleneck? actually recreating a whole legislation of agreements. All of this stuff doesn’t require a single platform, we already live deep down a form of this social network governed by game theory. Every platform we use every app every club we go to every group have implicit agreements.

    So the question is: does making them explicit help or not?

    My answer is… Not really. We have rules everywhere, also on this lemmy instance. I wrote them kinda carefully to be based on easily agreeable principles and to set a tone and, most of all, to be brief. Having agreements for everything goes against being brief and easily agreeable. The skii example is a good one: what if i don’t skii? i just don’t partecipate in the agreement and so weaken the power of those who do? What if all poor people agree on universal healthcare but rich people don’t? This brings us to the part of ‘‘convincing people to agree’’ and so we are just making politics from scratch again.

    I think this comment is a bit chaotic but i’ll try to make a tldr: a platform like that would be overhead and in some cases also dangerous; we need to raise the common ground by talking to people, there are no tech tools to hack this (no, AI could just parrot an emphatic leader, can’t actually choose the words to connect to the person we have in front of). We can’t escape the political spade work :O

    p.s. i also have on my mind to write a blog post about this, how people keep trying to solve the moderation problem with tech instead of just making it sustainable to resolve it socially







  • users

    Every admin group user is an admin, you get to specify the first one because without one you wouldn’t be able to use the web portal.

    When in doubt, anyway, you can just use SUDO or su to get to root.

    file permissions

    I use it for Joplin and my easy way to do this is just installing nextcloud, striping it all of the things I don’t need, mount all the folders into it and just use it as SFTP

    An alternative is FileBrowser but there was something bugged so I kept nextcloud.

    one installation more wikis

    I don’t think you can. Or maybe yunohost does it automatically because it usually shares resources, they are not containered… I would probably just install more of them.

    All the issues I’ve got with yunohost during these years are basically divided into 2 categories:

    • it’s because I’m selfhosting at home with a Pi
    • the package was bad

    Maybe I’ll pass to basic sysadmin too one day, or I’ll try abra from coopcloud but Yuno is really good imo :)

    They recently added the possibility to have keys of the domains they give you, so also using their domain cuts a lot of overhead if you don’t need to publish personal sites!
