🙂 All right. Let’s go a few rounds. Our mutual friend @mazmhussain can adjudicate.

(1) First: startup societies are based on 100% consent. No one is there who hasn’t chosen to be there. No one is in a hierarchy if they haven’t opted into that hierarchy. Signing the social contract to join a community is much like signing a contract to join a company: you view the docs, make an informed decision, and opt out if it doesn’t work. That right to exit is the fundamental right.

(2) Second: not all existing laws are good laws, like the PATRIOT Act. Sunsetting *some* laws doesn’t mean you don’t believe in laws in the abstract.

(3) Third: you likely have views on what your ideal community would be. Maybe it’s a vegan village. Maybe it’s modern Amish, where tech is paused at the level of flip phones and people enjoy each other’s company. If you ever decided to build such a peaceful, opt-in community, then we would support you. And that’s what startup societies are about.

How do we set up push notifications to a specific thread? 🍿🥤

playing /bracket, assisting /bracky, talking /greatbooks

spin up a channel just for this, grant the parties member posting rights and turn on notifications for that channel

I want a day in between so we can hype up the discussion. So excited for this
