In order for #decentralization to work, the server install process for services is going to *HAVE* to improve. If I'm interested in running a federated instance of a service, and the first thing I see is a 35-step tutorial about how to configure nginx or arcane PHP requirements, I'm going to bail.
I think about Nextcloud, and how I installed a snap for it, and it's updated through 8 major upgrades of the service without me ever doing anything to admin it. That's where we need to get to.

i was reading a reddit post i had been linked when suddenly in the middle of reading, the page reloads to a completely different ui generation version of the post, and darkens the whole screen to inform me that it used a google tracking pixel to determine i was logged into google and then made a reddit account and signed into it without even so much as asking me
and people wonder why i use private tabs and separate browsers
Just saw some guy ranting about how sex work should be illegal because you shouldn't be allowed to debase and dehumanize yourself for money.

I think we need a "slow software" movement.
We can look to slow food, Cittaslow (slow city), and other slow efforts.
We need to look "Generative AI" squarely in the eye, and run—not walk—the opposite direction.
We need to teach and advocate for software development practices which are *intentionally* easy to learn and require minimal maintenance.
We need best practices which encourage methodical longevity over quick band-aid fixes.
We need to put artistry over capital.
Will you join me?
> Social hierarchies exist in all social intersections, and in order to survive when one intersection outranks another in social hierarchies, people have to sacrifice their values to maintain their social status.
> But because autistic identity is based on values and not social intersections, autistics do not place the same weight on hierarchies. Many autistic people innately resent all social hierarchies— not to be confused with respect for expertise or a logical chain of command.
> Social hierarchies are inherently exclusionary, and autistic people will eventually recognize the patterns of exclusion caused by social popularity and resent it, even if they mask and play the roles out of a need to survive. This is an especially insidious process for people who have to both mask their autistic identity and code-switch to erase their cultural norms.
