  • I understand your point. But, I don’t think anyone here is creating instances in the hopes of collecting money. They’re just trying to keep the internet free (as in speech). And no, it probably doesn’t cost that much for a server with 16k users, but it still costs something and someone is paying for that out of pocket.

    We have to understand that we’re at a crossroads right now. Most of the internet is dominated by GAFAM and they control the access to information and how it’s provided. They control the narrative and have a huge bias in favor of unfettered capitalism and fascism. They not only use your own personal information for profit, but hey also benefit from government subsidies paid by taxpayers.

    Meanwhile you have a government that’s increasingly cutting funding for almost everything, including important organizations that fund critical open source projects.

    If we want a free (as in speech) internet, we have to understand it comes at a cost and we can’t rely on governments to fund these projects. It’s up to us to put our money where our mouth is.

    I’m by no means a whale. But, if us little fishes all band together, we can become even bigger than a whale.








  • That’s why I don’t like Carney. That’s why I keep saying he’s not the right leader for Canada and why the NDP is the better choice. If people took the time to listen to Jagmeet, they’d see how the NDP is what we actually need.

    I’m convinced Carney won’t change a god damn thing. Everyone had hopes about Justin Trudeau back in 2015. I thought he’d be progressive and that he’d work for the little guy and help the working class. And look where that got us. Most of the progressive shit they passed was because the NDP made them through their coalition in exchange for votes for other bills. What makes people think this economist and central banker is going to work for them? I’m really, really pessimistic about him. But, I really hope he proves me wrong.





  • Mon parti favori est le NPD. Je crois en leur plate-forme, mais pas en leur chef. C’est vraiment dommage.

    Ma circonscription a l’air d’avoir l’intention de voter majoritairement libéral donc je ne suis pas inquiet. Je vais donc probablement voter NPD pareil question qu’ils reçoivent le 2$ de financent qui vient avec le vote.

    Sinon, si c’était une bataille entre les conservateurs et quelconque autre parti, j’aurais voté pour l’autre. Peu importe, tant qu’ils battent les conservateurs.
