CONVIVIAL SUFFICIENCY is the goal.

Can we leave partisan prejudice garbage at the door, disagree vibrantly on stuff and agree furvantly on other stuff, and do so with #compassion. Expressing disagreement is a type of #love.

This is going to be the big challenge in the centrally controlled #legacyInternet.

We cannot get there with extreme #massSurveillance, pre-crime divisions, and #repression.

#convivialSufficiency #i2p #rfk #noMoreWar

Judging by the botFarms on fedi that are setup to hate him, his resistance to #BigPharma and #BigAg, and the fact that he doesn't wish to crush all #soundMoney-bitcoin proponents, we think #RFK is going to be a fair, balanced president for the #USA, who will be able to build a vibrant, new era of #degrowth and #convivialSufficiency.

No more war, no more offshored #bioLabs, a reduced #CIA, and perhaps most importantly, less energy going into these self-righteous #botFarms.

#noMoreWar

@bot @gabriel @n3n3tl
Much to the surprise of most dissenters of #Malthus' writings he did have a third scenario, which we like to describe as #ConvivialSufficiency.

For us it is a question of how we get there. Is it via massSurveillance and #ComputerSaysNo AI. Or do we just embrace less for *all*. We think #bitcoin's public (and optionally private) ledger is a good way to opt out and embrace #LimitsToGrowth in our view, with its limited supply.

Can we acheive it without neoFeudal #dotCons?

Hi fediFrens,

We have adopted a #OneEarthPolicy.

It basically goes like this, "We have one earth so lets not break it, and try to spend more time practicing #ConvivialSufficiency and rejecting rapacious corpo-state #totalitarianism.

Its free to boost.

So it is very interesting, maybe the situation is different in your countries.

We are interested to know who these people *believe* they are reaching and why we are conditioned to believe growth in reach is always needed. Emphasis on the 'believe'.

Maybe there is a reason we have not been able to attain #convivialSufficiency, as an alleged civil society, yet.

#botFarms #inequality #BGP #DNS #legacyPlatforms #socialPlatforms #reach

A lot of problems would be solved if govts promised not to use #airTravel unless under a life or death/rescue mission.

But what about #holidays?

Flights approved by #lottery, based on a Y-in-(P×3) chance. Where Y is the cumulated number of years each person boarding has gone without flying and P is the number of passengers the aircraft can take.

If lottery succeeds, flight is approved, otherwise #tax revenue for #rail, #PT and #UBI.

> But DSFGS, that means X

Yes.

Even just dead and not sucide!

This is why so much of what we do centres on using FOSS to enable building genuine local connections.

We deliver (#)fediFlyer. We promote ppl producing zines. We place things in libraries. We may place signs in public places and may even do art in public spaces.

If you don't use technology to make your lived experience convivial, what is the point of it.

#convivialSufficiency

@teledyn
We very much need more ppl getting fired for asking questions, thanks for bringing that up. Its the only way to get to #convivialSufficiency.

Its sounds like its absolutely an #ecology issue. Maybe they have plans to #destroyTheComputers on their way out?

We might take a look at that (cloudFlare) site article, but yes, its pretty rich to hate on #bitcoin/monero when #AI is arguably a lot worse.

@atomicpoet

See how they interfered against #GameStop, and that was small potatoes.

At that time we were saying, "Don't use their tools" and we were right. Reddit, #RobinHoodwinked are their tools.

See (#)JenniferAshooh in relation to #reddit.

The payment rails of #fiatCurrency and #moneyPump themselves are rigged against notions of #convivialSufficiency. We hate to sound like cryptobros but an #uncensorableMoney is fundamental to ending the #spaghettification and impending war.

Hi Marcus,

Its indeed a worthy goal to strive towards. We have a term called #convivialSufficiency.

What is happening now in the Ukraine has a long history. It goes back to 2014 in some ways but many historians would rightly point out that it is part of a continued war that hasn't really ended since the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russia's oligarchs were overthrown at around the time of WWI.

The global #oligarchs did not like that example, and have been fighting Russia ever since.

@icedquinn
If basically all the bitcoin and finance infrastructure wasn't taken over by Cloudflare we would have a chance, at a world with #convivialSufficiency and #LimitsToSlavery

But they do so we don't.

@Hamishcampbell
4/4… navigated around covid quickly to produce even greater #inequality which we all know will only exacerbates our #environmentalCrisis long-term.

So yes freedom is needed, but so we can *choose* #ConvivialSufficiency (CS).

Our big concern is that the younger generation will turn their backs on CS if we allow corporate pillage of their childhood under a guise of #health. Tainting both #publicHealth and environmental causes, integral to CS.

Tough choices ahead.

@shans
Hi Shans,

If you live in #Australia, Growing For Broke (2015?) by the late Peter North is a must-read.

We speak in the language of #ConvivialSufficiency. The way we can achieve this is by "Getting #NEOeD", which may involve punching upwards at those perpetrating the #statusQuo.

#growingForBroke #peterNorth #growthism

@be
Not sure you were given what we've written below, but have you heard the term #convivialSufficiency.

It describes a cuulture shift away from #consumptionism.

Anyway, we thought why not combine '#convivial' with '#software' to get, #ConvivialSoftware?

Again though its not sexy, not a pun (those are gold) but its something to consider as an option.

@witchescauldron
Perhaps #statusBlow? Technocrats blowing smoke up their own a$$es, while continuing to blow up the debtBased ponzi that started 50 years ago that is based more on speculation/#moneyPrinting than real valueAdded.

@drq, agree. #ConvivialSufficiency is the goal that we work towards. Community-focused dev. #Corporations have no place #speculating on the demise of #smallBusiness to make money off there carcass, but that is part of their "raison d'etre" today.

@humanetech @nestort

We like to think that we fighg for a cause that can be realised, #convivialSufficiency, but, maybe we are really just better off tp let the ignorant destroy everything.

We can help each other through it. We can at least point and #laugh at them, on Fedi, the myriad of #failings, the #entertainmentValue of the collective self-destruction, #resigned to the fact that the #megaCorps ultimately win.

But help each other weather the days ahead together, in a weird, online, semi-anonymous kind of way.
