For those who aren’t getting the joke: Hebrew script is written right-to-left.

The “fed” nickname was a bit facetious for exactly that reason. I just think it’d be funny for everyone to start calling eachother narcs. The internet is already full of that kind of fedjacketing, so why not embrace it?

I mean, for Mastodon it’s gotta be “Mastodonians”

Kbingers

Feds (as in “Everyone here is secretly a cop”) or Fedizens

Absolutely agree that copyleft, privacy, open source software are important no matter who you are.

I don’t work on servers or anything for a living. I need some systems knowledge for my job, but mostly it’s focused on talking to people and relaying information.

But I believe in this sort of thing because allowing capitalist corporations to control large parts of our daily toolset is bullshit, and it leads to bad outcomes. Shitty subscription models, stagnation, being squeezed for every penny.

I hate the control that a tiny number of unelected assholes have over us. The sharing society of the future will not have copyright in the traditional sense.

I absolutely do not work in tech. I’m not gonna share what my day job is, but it mostly involves talking to people, knowing product, and some lighter technical knowhow.

Through the years I’ve messed around enough to get some basic technical knowhow (how to plug parts into a computer, install a Linux distro, etc.) but I will fundamentally always be a squishy humanities geek.

I’m on Lemmy because the fediverse matches my political beliefs about how institutions should be run. I’m a big ol commie.
