  • People don’t want to work. They want to live and pay for shit. Work is the only way for people that weren’t born rich to get money. Well, either that or crimes, but some crimes can be seen as illegal work.

    Most people don’t want to feel useless, so if you cut their access to cheap dopamine (phones with internet, social media) they might seek out some work out of boredom.

    What really sucks is that society expects us to be “specialists” in one thing for the rest of our lives, as if we are fucking ant drones or gears in a complex machine. It’s great for economists and the rich and awful for our individual wellbeing, though some people do enjoy doing the same thing over and over for very long periods of time.












  • People don’t know what choosing a server entails, because it does matter and a lot of people aren’t exactly helpful when they say “just pick any” or “it’s like email”

    Server choice matters because:

    1. Server might federate with a limited number of other servers;
    2. Server might be blacklisted by some servers which you might want to interact with;
    3. Servers can be running different versions of software, so people might think about security;
    4. Servers can go offline
    5. Server choice can significantly impact how people perceive you. “Oh look, another tankie from ml”

    So, server choice matters and people coming in from corporate shit don’t know how much they need to know to make an informed decision, thus giving up.
