both offer more curated platforms that arent owned and operated by the broligarchy
I realize Peertube is free and Floss but it's esoteric and lacking buy in; like a great open source console with no games. (Whats more if you dont use a VPN it can be used to track your view history, iirc)
I'm broke af but planning on getting subscriptions to both asap; real shit bc if the monetization model is "free" (ads) then you the viewer are the product, units for their ecomomy.
and they'll canibalize you when their done with queer people, brown people and other marginalized folks like me.
I'm gonna suggest, as someone who feels a bit ahead of the curve, very unhappy she was duly a "paranoiac" over the last 6 years ... that simple things like meditation and congregating w. intentional community at regular intervals, have been studied and proven to elongate lifespan and reduce stress-related health risk factors. That plus 8-9h sleep are things too many of us sacrifice.
I totally follow that your criticism of what's published is about it's lack of adherance to scientific rigor...and what I'm suggesting is this Yes, AND: Sieze the opportunity to encourage those who arent welcome or inclined to be church going, to have secular, extracurricular gatherings with regularity. It is a rare opportunity to talk about sleep debt without being preachy because that is a more tangible offering tham the publication in question.
N n nope. Doomerism will not due. The masses without a voice do not deserve to be flushed away just for the sake of being written off along with the outsized vocal minority of status quo warrior right wing authoritarians (and liberal sympathizers of such)
As to an answers beyond simply getting-armed-and-fostering-healthy-gun-culture-and-education-among-us:
"Practicing mutual aid is the surest means for giving each other and
to all the greatest safety, the best guarantee of existence and progress,
bodily, intellectually and morally."
And then Modern Libs even observe, more verbosely:
"The structures of our state economies are going to matter in terms of protecting democracies, and by that I mean if you look at economies that were based in the kind of small producer economies like New England was vs states like the South and the American West that were always built on the idea of very high capital using extractive methods to get resources out of the land either cotton or mining or oil or water or agri business, those economies always depend on a few people with a lot of money, and then a whole bunch of people who are poor and doing the work for those Rich guys -- and that I'm not sure is compatible in terms of governance without addressing the reality that you know if people have more of a foothold in their own communities, they are then more likely to support the kinds of legislation that Community [Education, Healthcare, ..] and that may be the future of democracy, if not a national democracy"

If a Conservative wants me dead, they’re going to have to work and sweat for it.
I’m not doing the heavy lifting for them
(A Quote I agree with)
Our resulting interactions may seem chaotic and illegible to authority,
but it is through that seeming chaos that vastly complex, horizontal,
and resilient practices of learning, cooperation, and reciprocity have
historically arisen.
Genuinely, as someone who's been on both the moderating and recieving end of communal moderation as a traumatized trans and disabled person, this topic is an iceberg. Social osratcization and bannishment shouldnt be weilded heavy handedly.
If you feel so oppressed, be glad that people empathize with you for your congruence with mental state, brain chemisty and so much more that we barely even have words much less proper understanding at large for, which is all lumped in to "neurodivergent", and that your every choice is not medicalized and psychoanalyzed for being so bold as to be out about it.
Seems like some users thought this thread was a free pass to question neurospicy folks legitimacy regardless of assholeishness. Cool lemmy.world, cool /s
too much assumptions.
