@charliejane big mood

Line I wanna use somewhere:

"I did so much self promotion that in the end, everybody knew who I was except for me."

@maryrobinette I dunno that it'll ever be what it was back when fewer people were on social media.
Economics: Humans only value things monetarily.
Sociology: Uh, I don't ...
Economics: Humans are always rational and value is calculated by a complex inner calculus.
Sociology: Uh, Psy, can you help?
Psychology: That's not how humans ...
Economics: ALSO MY SYSTEM WILL GROW EXPONENTIALLY FOREVER!!
Physics: *drops teacup*
@kiplet it's pretty useless to hire people if there's a true collapse and money means nothing. All these people have is money and when that's worthless, it's over.
@Oliviawerth it's an extremely weird assumption. When money is worthless, they have nothing to offer.
I’m well aware of the pros/cons of centralized vs decentralized community systems. I’ve been doing this stuff since the 90s. My only point (at the moment) is that federation, in itself, does not solve community problems. Only human community leaders solve those problems. I’m just as excited about the fediverse as everyone else is. Just don’t pretend the tech itself solves anything by default. Trust me, we made that mistake last time. I want us to do better this time.
@cstross yeah.

Militant decency.

Watching a documentary about the Savoy Hotel and one of the staff said of the guests: "I don't know how some of these people survive in the real world" and another says "because of people like us" and it brought to mind, once again, what's going to happen to those billionaires in their bunkers when the serving staff turns on and overthrows them. And the billionaires aren't even thinking about that.
