  • I think the Iroquois Nation counts. They certainly had representative government that included the minority parties in decision making. It didn’t look like democracy because it wasn’t modeled after the Greeks or Romans. They’d never heard of them.

    In my head, I keep going back to that fascist guy that Medhi Hasan got sat down with. These fuckers would pick up the ball and run with it in a soccer game, chuck the ball in the goal, keep their own score and time, then jog off the field pumping up the 10% of the crowd that’s on their side.

  • Nerdcore.social. Ha! Sounds like i need to peruse that instance.

    Is anyone else getting usenet vibes with this domain structure? I wonder if there’s anything we can learn from that past experience that we aren’t doing with lemmy right now. I wonder how many people were active on usenet in its heyday, and are hanging out on lemmy now.

    Oh man, this is a cool feeling. It feels like fresh air after 20 years of using all those other corporate run sites. We have a future to look forward to, because the now is pretty chill with you lemmings!
