What about X.org?

Sounds kinda cool... If anyone trusted Elon more than as far as they could throw him

This community is pro-life.

We're Christians, though. Jesus said the world will hate us. Wherever we go, our views will not be embraced.

Don't get me wrong, this proposal is by no means perfect or even the thing I would ideally address first.

But making more options for small companies and loosening the restrictions on what qualifies for health insurance will help curb the cost of medical care overall.

Obamacare has been just awful. Medical prices have increased dramatically because of it. At least this is an attempt to correct some of that.

Fine by me. I've already blocked a few bot accounts that were spam posting

It's content delivery network in this context. Except that in this case, it handles all the internet traffic AND dns, I think

But that's not what happens.

Greatest recent example is Elizabeth Warren. She supposedly wasn't going to bow down to the big banks and wrote legislation to "help" the consumer. All she did was end up writing legislation that the big banks highly approved of, killed off many of the smaller banks and made banking way less competitive so that the consumers are suffering.

But if you get a coalition (example ICANN) to regulate stuff, you'll get a better mix of both small and large companies.

And we've seen too much industry manipulation in government too.

But the big companies turning their platforms into absolute crap isn't actually a problem for the industry. Other players will rise up (such as lemmy, kbin, mastodon, and other non activity pub sites) and make good platforms.

Regulation should come from the industry not the legislators. Legislators don't know enough about it anyway and will end up just getting the biggest players to write it anyway.

But if the industry does it, certification would be voluntary and it would be transparent who wrote the regulation. Much easier for smaller players to contribute and shape it.

And the best part is that if it sucks, they don't have to participate. And then they can try again

This seems like a rule #5 thing

I keep checking out other apps. I like to see the new ones and the improvements to others.

But I just keep on coming back to Connect. It's great!
