  • About five years ago, I tried to make my way through One Pixel Wealth. It was so disheartening that it took me several months to get to the end. My mind and emotions were so taxed by the experience.

    I believe that J.R.R. Tolkien warned us, through his books, about 'diseased dragons laying on mountains of gold'. The, roughly, 400 Americans (representing the '1%') aren't human.

    I don't know where America is headed, but this country I live in is in despair and need of great reform.

  • late-stage capitalism

    I haven't heard about this. Would you mind explaining?

    BTW, my brother lives in Portland Oregon. I was able to visit him last year and was impressed by downtown and the shore.

  • Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action?

  • The obsession with numbers (the more the better) is a major blinding effect in societies driven by hierarchical cultures.

  • Just curious why that’s such a big strike against it.

    There's no strike from me.

    I believe it’s open source as well.

    It is.

    ...I’m sure there’s more to the story!

    There is. However, I'm not aware of the full story. All I know, personally, is that he was a former Reddit administrator. He left, for whatever reason(s), and formed Tildes thereafter. My self, and several of the current mods/admins at Beehaw, helped him beta test the site/software.

  • Is it possible to have some communities be exclusive to Beehaw users?

    I'm, fairly, certain the answer is no.

    In response to your second paragraph, we are better than holding our heads above water. We have been planning/discussing solutions for months...we will come up with a way out of this predicament...it's only temporary.

  • Where are these discussions happening?

    They've happened here a couple of times on Beehaw. I suspect that there will be more of these discussions, here at Beehaw, in the future.
