The symbol # has many names, including "hash". Using a hash to make a tag word easier to search makes the whole construct a "hashtag".

Because people say things like "check out hashtag 'learn'", people inferred that the # itself was spoken as "hashtag". This has led to some confusion in certain kinds of discussion.

Sustainable Fediverse -- crypto-anarchist perspective please?

I am refreshing my knowledge about various ways to make (and keep) a fediverse instance financially stable. Several years ago I was experimenting with browser-based crypto mining, and it seems that the technology is alive and kicking, if infamous.
There are also more "legitimate" projects, like webmonetization.org -- this one assumes a mainstream level of regulation, from being formally submitted to W3C to relying explicitly on "legally regulated financial intermediaries". While I am no hypocrite (in this case) and I use payment cards myself, having only this option for me and my users makes me sad and unsatisfied.
Thus, my kind request: if you can point me to some interesting micropayment/microbarter solutions, aligned with anarchist thinking, please do. https://friendica.wprzemianie.pl/display/079ff3de-1260-409a-73ef-d1c880114120

Covid-19 Isn’t the Only Thing Shortening American Lives

The reversal of life expectancy is arguably the biggest news story in the country, because as the ultimate lagging variable, it encapsulates everything that's wrong, from the opioid crisis and what it implies about quality of life to the decoupling of the upper and lower classes in the trickle-down era:

"For two to three decades, life expectancy has been improving much more rapidly for higher earners."

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦‍♂️

PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE

And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)

Boost if I'm right.

100 years ago on 1 march sailors of Kronstadt started uprising for soviets without bolsheviks. Their uprising was drowned in blood by Lenin and Trotsky (was heading red army against the rebellion). No one forgotten, no one forgiven! #anarchism #kronstadt #rebellion
