Serfs needs to subordinate to the masters.

They could make a rule saying:

First hand posting of slop is not allowed. Second hand posting is allowed as long as it is sufficiently relevant.

Either we normalize smart glasses or we dont. There’s nothing in between. We should not play into Metas surveillance strategy.

Lets not normalize [smart] glasses.

If we want something to change, we need to normalize condemning the machine.

We can do this for instance through using machine as a swear word.

Ofcourse there are plenty of other ways to normalize condemnation, but this is an example.

I havent read Derrida, but to clearify Im very fond of looking into the etymology of words to understand the underlying images of the words.

For instance the word “order” in the expression “in order to find x, we need to…” comes from latin “ordinem” meaning “rank, row, line, series, pattern and more”.

It is a word that I associate with authority because it comes from the very hierarchical roman empire, and it is typically used in context of keeping people subordinated. Authority can be justified, but we should not normalize it through language, so therefore I like to weed it out.

In its place I plant the word “fern” which is a symbol of the infinitely shaped, infinitely structured. This word has the benefit of moving our attention towards nature, makes us wonder about the infinite, and removes the authority element of the word.

A common feedback I get is; “If you use words nobody has heard of, nobody is going to understand you”. But the context often reveal the meaning of a word as long as you use the word with flow.

I like to call this process relighting. To unlight one word and enlight another in fern to loken the language.

I can say that the quote resonates with me in the sense that I do believe that we should challenge the words we are using in our everyday life, and potentially swap them out.

I’ll look into it.

Ah, I see. You are a materialist.

Fediverse are hives of benevolent dictators. The dictators must do what they feel is right for the hive.

The hives assumes dictatorship.

If we want this to change, we need to demand hives that are built with democratic control in mind.
