well, it depends on the culture of the commune but let's skip this and i'll just focus on commune as a tool
if it's used as a tool for escapism, good but it will never scale and ''everyone should be in one'' it's just impossible
if, like i dream, it's used as a tool to offload work of a group of people to allow them to make better politics because being much more resilient to capital swings, cool af u.u
obviously it's not binary and what i described it's not even a model with 2 opposites, but i wanted to focus on these cases
weird in betweens like project kamp are very interesting but I still think they focus too much on the being indipendent rather than using the commune as a tool for "greater" scope.
To use bonfire, to be even more local (me and the other admin actually live in the same province) and because apparently my social circles are too attached to telegram to post in the open web questions that they can make in our shared groups
Oh and because the main community that should have moved changed idea, so no more being the focal point for political organization in the Italian landscape
Also there is a bug in my ear that keeps repeating that we should just embrace this dark forest internet moment and hide in chat groups like everyone else
AniSocial got the same issues as EuropePub: ton of noise, 0 purposes and discussion.
Even just having the thread to discuss latest one piece chapter would be enough
I made a telegram group to have similar results but it’s still a bit annoying that no one in the open social world wants to fight the trend of hiding into chat groups e-e
Predictably rough start because solarpunk and even Reddit are not that famous in italy. Most of the “””scene””” is fine on telegram and discord so asking to speak more in public and less in private is gonna be hard but for the sake of free flow of information and a slower pace social media we will still try u.u
Then someone could say that foss is too much, better go open source and then the environment will have to take care of the stuff that basic licenses won’t take care of
I’d rather strive for the better and look for copyfarleft licenses
I agree with some of the points of the original thread:
having Twitter clone or Instagram clone but decentralized kinda sucks no matter how you put it and it’s probably not mass sustainable
On the other hand… Lemmy is just a forum that can connect to other forums. You don’t find cool subreddits searching for them, the good ones are the ones recommended by other people, usually not by search. The fediverse actually suffers from having a big user base that wants Reddit/twitter/insta but decentralized instead of having small forums/microblogs connected to each other. Also the reason why you see me often advocating for less “generalized instances” and wanting more vertical focused ones. This is easily possible with lemmy dividing by topic and with mastodon dividing by localization.
If you want the fedi to thrive, build lemmy instances focused on being a stand alone forum first and mastodon ones focused on being local first (same for mobilizon)
The world is not so simple and people cannot even imagine the amount of stuff Orban chooses on a daily basis. It would surprise me even if a single voter was aware and agreed on every single thing Orban does and says honestly.
This applies to every representative democracy obviously.
