Yes.

Incarcerated people’s unions are absolutely essential to the struggle. The IWOC serves a similar purpose in the United States.

Here’s an article that tells more of the story about iDT Labs and Salton Massally.

There’s also the Guardian article listed in the video text: How software developers helped end the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone

One of the books mentioned is A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys

Exploding-heads is a ‘vaccine-skeptic’ lemmy instance that has been defederated from most of the Fediverse (slrpnk.net included) due to embracing trumpism. The admin of the nazi-pub is planning to close up shop, and move to Nostr. I think that tells you most of what you need to know about the ‘censorship resistance’ of Nostr. It’s an environment where sane voices can be easily drowned out with the financially motivated professional posters selling cryptocurrency, boner pills, and Russian propaganda.

It’s primary feature is that the login mechanism doubles as a cryptocurrency wallet, and you can use it to tip other people in bitcoin. The richest can easily broadcast their views, to the applause of thousands of sycophants, looking to follow the groupthink and collect their satoshi-scraps. It is full of grifters and gullible, and the only thing it deserves from anarchists is derision.

That’s two and a half treasons according to Florida.

Someone who believes police and prisons should be abolished.

This is similar to a situation where a community is created for people of color in health sciences named MedicineAndMelanin, and it gets attacked by someone who is black and has albinism because she feels its a personal affront against her. The name wasn’t picked because they intended to exclude people with albinism, they picked it because it expressed the topical goals of the sub along with a cheeky and medicine-specific metonym for race.

Saying 2X is girly is like saying pink is girly. A lot of women have 2 X chromosomes, and a lot of women (and non-traditionally masculine identifying people for that matter) like the color pink. It’s obviously true in the current social context, but is not necessarily meant to be exclusive. You can still read pinknews even though you don’t have an affinity for that color. The name was chosen because 2X expresses geekiness like melanin expresses medical science, not because it is essential to being woman or black. In the long history of Reddit’s 2XC, they have always maintained a reputation of being inclusive to trans women, consistent with my experience with communities of intelligent, geeky women.

I support your vendetta against TERFs. I think you’re picking the wrong target. I suspect the mod of 2X would be happy to have your help flagging actual trans-exclusion and posting content supportive of trans-women in her community.

I’m confused why you’re downplaying Nostr’s primary selling point - its close integration with Bitcoin. It’s clearly a cryptocurrency capitalist con job.

Almost no client prioritizes content that received bitcoin.

That’s not what I was saying, but I’m fascinated that you’re implying it’s much worse than I anticipated. Which clients have their priority linked to received bitcoin?

I don’t have an authoritative answer for you, but I think this person might be on the right track.
