Is volunteer-run servers with open registration the right governance model for the Fediverse?

@harrymccracken I was wondering why the Underdog balloon outlasted the Underdog cartoon by like 20 years. Good article on Fandom!

@scott I think it's great that schools teach about Thanksgiving in an integrated way. I believe many of the critiques of Thanksgiving are about the simplistic mythology, taken out of […]

@dos @maryjane I think I have a backup somewhere, but it was over 12 years ago. If I were you, and I were eager to get that content, I'd use archive.org. Sorry.

@limneticvillains that said, as someone in Ireland you're probably painfully aware of the legacy of colonialism.

@limneticvillains it's *not* a celebration of genocide. It is a celebration of a false model of encounter between two continents with equality and respect. One reason Native North American […]

@lampsofgold sure. But still with strangers finding servers semi-randomly that they have little or no connection to?

@limneticvillains yes, both were a big part of the Columbian Exchange. They weren't afaik eaten in North America before colonization.

@limneticvillains I don't want to be pedantic but potatoes and sweet potatoes are from South America.

@lieter the point of my post is that in the early 90s people mostly used their ISP's email domain, and the domains were always about nets, connecting, the internet, and speed.
@jo3rg I agree; Bridgy Fed is unnecessarily constrained on who can use the bridge. I think there should be a way to signal that for a domain you don't need double confirmation to allow a follow.
