  • Well, I don’t need it, not really. It’s just I’m finally in a position where I’m not stressed about things like rent and healthcare, and I’m realizing I wanna fuck around with hosting my own websites. Possibly a lemmy instance, I was toying with the idea of developing a P2P social networking protocol that federates with lemmy. But also the idea of building my own websites so I’m not dependent on others for my income, or just making it easier for people to download stuff that I’m the only seeder of.

    Definitely not a need. My rent is paid, my food is healthy, healthcare is cheap. So now I can worry about stuff like this that ultimately doesn’t matter








  • Well, online English speaking communities are gonna have a bias towards native English speakers. Obviously some will browse these communities because they’re the largest, but while machine translation makes communication much easier, it’s still more difficult than with speakers of your own language. And most native English speakers who aren’t also native speakers of a language mutually intelligible with Hindi live in north America. (I’m excluding South Asia because a sizable fraction of the online South Asian communities communicate in the pre-colonization languages, mostly Hindi). Most such people have a shared cultural heritage that is largely European with a British slant.

    When you think about it it’s not an unreasonable question, when you interpret it to be asking how many of us are outside of the cultural influence of the anglosphere
