Keep your rhetoric. Neither did you show issues nor are there any other folks who were called naysayers because except you, most people were just constructive. Its not hard to do, try it some time.
But now get off of my feed. Byee
See! I fully agree on the social aspects of your ideals. I would like to give my opinion on your points. Please read them as ideas, not a form of diminishing your thoughts.
Yeah we all have to work (or contribute to society by our possible means) that's a given I think.
Actually, i dont think we do. We produce a lot more than we need (food for 10 billion people) and a lot of crap that only fuels consumerism. Not saying there is an alternative yet but maybe we can agree on "some people definitely need to work for us to survive and thrive."
No ultra rich people
Fully agree
(but you need to dream, so no communist pay either).
But do we? Or is it just a concept we use to keep the current situation going? Would we not dream if we just had the same?
UBI that covers basic food & housing. Art and science as the goal of society (after taking care of everyone).
100% agree
The problem is what to do with all egomaniacs, is there enough benevolent people or will nobody become a dentist if you don't need to work (that much)?
would you rather do an easier job that one you have passion and skills for if they were paid the same? I agree that moving trash or working in the sewers should potentially be paid extra. I think currently, education being expensive, doctors are kept scarce. Make it free and watch.
I mean lots of people get up in the morning and spends their whole life working, because of some crazy angry people (don't believe me? Go work in some big companies).
I have. Huge companies are cancer. Nothing more.
How do we re-train those people, how do we keep an army? Lots and lots of open ended questions here
from the bottom up, as always. We vote as left as possible (those who still can). We demand UBI, free education, free public transport, fair taxes, free healthcare, etc. We build communities (currently underway) to subvert oppressive systems with mutual support groups, etc.
Again, this is just my personal opinion so please disagree wildly if you wish. Just try to stay constructive.
I subscribed. Thanks for making it. I'll come back once the voting chaos in my country dies down.
I used woocommerce in the past. Its not that complicated. Woocommerce is open source from what I read: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/woocommerce-review/ i would have to check the source but implementing federation would be quite trivial i guess.
Why bother federating:
You advertise for your partners, not competitors. This is done already but manually by reselling. This would just expedite the process. The only part that is not yet clear to me is if the shop advertises something from another shop and clearly says, only sale processing through website, not fulfillment, if that would also make it that the legal warranty is done by the downstream vendor. Processing returns also is trivial from a technical perspective. Its just the legal one that keeps me guessing atm.
I agree on the need for legilature. I strongly disagree on the scam. You dont have massive csam on peertube either because it has manual federation. Everyone who runs a business knows that its much more important to not get sued than to sell stuff. Big difference between small businesses and large ones btw.
As you said, it exists. You can just clone it from codeberg and run it. Here's an article about it https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/flohmarkt-federated-market/
The oligarchs and monopolists need to be destroyed, at least the status.
The point about achievements is very good imo.
It should be the effort you put in that is rewarded, not the outcome.
You never know how much unseen effort a person puts in every day to just get up, go to school, to work, take part in social interaction, maybe never standing out for their deeda, yet being surrounded by people praising others for visible deeds.
It's controversial since people equate the amount of work put in with the end product. There is no saying if something great worked at the first try. Yet it promotes focus on externality instead of the much more important internal workings.
I can see how someone, myself included, would feel sad when a very intense piece of work goes unrewarded. Yet I ask myself if it is a relic of our primitive past which could be socialized out like incest and cannibalism. Do we not only yearn for external gratification because we are socialized that way and because others get it as well?
Feel free to disagree. I'm thinking out loud.

Thats not terrible. Still, i hope the eu gets their act together and takes care of these monopolists at some point.
If they get paid for it, absolutely.
Aside from that they could at least provide a bulk download, which is another dick move by these walled gardens.
But Twitch says it won't be offering a bulk download tool for that purpose, sticking [users] with the daunting task of downloading and/or reuploading their clips one by one (or using dodgy third-party bulk download tools to do so).
Granted, a programmer or advanced user should have no problem with it but the potential for security incidents is huge for normal users trying to save their favorite clips.
Good point!
The mall was still centralized and most shops didnt have their own place and a stall ij the mall but I can totally see where you're coming from.
It might be a good idea to keep this in mind if this ever becomes reality and we need marketing ideas. :)

Philadelphia General Strike (1910)
Sat Feb 19, 1910
Image: Workers and supporters gather before a meeting on February 2nd, 1910, as the tensions between the Rapid Transit Company and workers increased. From the Library of Congress [philadelphiaencyclopedia.org/]
On this day in 1910, the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (RTC) fired 173 union members, resulting in a series of escalating labor actions that culminated in a general strike.
RTC fired the workers "for the good of the service" and hired replacement workers from New York City. Immediately after the firings, the union leadership ordered the strike, taking their respective trolley cars off the streets effective at 1:00 that afternoon.
During the strike, workers destroyed trolley property. A crowd of 2,000 seized a trolley and set it on fire. Another crowd of 5,000 seized a crew working a trolley and beat them in the street. A bomb threat in Germantown was disregarded until dynamite was loaded onto the tracks by 2,000 workers.
Despite the union threatening a general strike if strike breakers were brought in, RTC brought in 600 strike breakers while simultaneously denying that they had done so.
When the National Guard entered Philadelphia to provide protection for RTC, members of other unions saw this as a clear signal that the city and state governments were uniting in favor of the companies against the unions, and the entire city began a general strike.
The general strike began on March 5th, 1910 with 60,000-75,000 workers, but grew to more than 140,000 over the following weeks. During the strike, Philadelphia police arrested high-ranking union organizers and sympathy strikers, half of whom were under eighteen.
Newspapers reported violence and sabotage that rendered streetcars inoperable, as well as retaliation by strikebreakers who shot into crowds and killed several bystanders with trolleys. Approximately ten strikers and bystanders were killed by gunfire from strikebreakers and police.
The general strike ended on March 27th, however streetcar workers remained on strike until April 19th. After nine weeks of the strike, costing RTC $2,395,000 and the city government millions, RTC agreed to a wage increase, the re-hiring of strikers within three months, and mediation of the initial 173 union-targeted firings.

I don't follow, sorry. In the meantime I put up an instance. Check out https://freebay.giftedmc.com
The project is pretty small but I'm fairly confident it will grow.
I'll test it for some time and thing about pro's and cons of working with this project instead of forking or building something new.
