I do agree with lots of the points but as you say the framing feels more like a critique of many western societies now.

I think I did manage to build a distributed radio show on atproto. What’s interesting about this is you can just define lexicons and most PDSs are Fail-open validation so accepts a custom lexicon or an extension. As such my site is just static pages pushing and reading a DID. No database/content.

"Anybody here named Jeff?" Jeff: "Yes" Geoff: "Yeos"

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Starmer announces a new summit with EU partners to develop closer ties. “A partnership for the dangerous world we must navigate together.”
