Fedi is good kind of insane (hey, look — all my wardmates are here!), TwitteX is bad kind of insane, TikTok is too braindead/boring TBH — lacks depth IMO.

Such a blasphemy! Fry it immediately, like a manly man would do 😤

It's also free if you have unlimited data and a handy torrent seedbox 😜

Maybe it has to do with whether is country is a popular tourist destination. In countries with a steady tourist flow people are more used to the outsiders and see then as an opportunity: to have good time, earn some money maybe — rather than a threat 🤷

Sometimes I start thinking to myself: maybe I'm too paranoid to expect that from people? But then I remember all these stories, sometimes firsthand experiences from people whom I have no reasons not to trust, and even my own experiences — hardly tragic, but easy to extrapolate — and I'm like: nah, better safe than… waking up without a kidney in a rundown shed I see for the first time 😅

На самом деле меня всегда забавлял этот конфликт в силовичьей голове между желанием всё запретить и не пущать и соблазном возможностями слежки, которую открывает повсеместность всех этих гаджетов: как бы так сделать, чтобы в Интернете были только Вконтакте и ГосуСлуги — но чтобы люди продолжали хотеть этим пользоваться? 🤔

Man, this shit is not supposed to discourage you — it's supposed to be fun, if you ain't having fun just stop, you don't have any obligations to do it 😄

They might be friendly when you are a part of their community, but if you start acting out of some unwritten set of rules — they will cast you out and eventually eat you alive. And if you are an outsider originally, they might be very hostile — it's indeed this and not "living in the wilderness", that poses the greatest danger 😰

I'm actually pretty damn scared of what people are outside of cities — they are envious, spiteful, vengeful. Here in Russia they will certainly rat you out to the authorities — just to make sure you don't live any better than they do. But I don't think it's any better… say in US. For me it's not Twin Peaks, but Killer Joe — and I don't even perceive it as horror/criminal thriller, I think it's pretty close to what life really is in small towns and trailer parks.

They will… snipe you from a drone? 🤔

Making up languages is good for horizontal societies? 🤔
@newt
Well, yeah, kinda – but it's not some coincidence that had created this feedback loop which kept reproducing itself ever since. I think in extreme conditions hierarchies are more efficient and more resilient. And you can "fight the state with molotovs" when the state is weak — in other words perfectly balanced, incapable of defending itself when people don't want it. Problem is — those who take over might be even worse, and might enforce stronger state.

Somewhere in Japan the land might indeed be a scarce resource, but yeah, I agree! Even in Russia, where the land is the thing not even remotely in scarcity, they will likely retaliate sooner or later.
Funny thing is when they started handing out parcels of land in one of the northeastern regions (in order to pillage it later when people build something worthy of it),didn't work — probably because calling that land inhabitable would be a major stretch 🤣

Looking through my older posts I've found drewdevault@fosstodon.org in white font and now it seems I get the joke 😅
Did they delete his account or did he do it himself, what's the backstory?
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
