So with G+ ending, do you guys just want to pitch in to buy a spot of land and start a farming collective/gaming commune together?
Showing my work (I have intentionally not listed several things as I am holding those cards for the time being).
Showing my work (I have intentionally not listed several things as I am holding those cards for the time being). The Hill Cantons cosmology inspiration mix Jack Vance novels (absurdist satire of religious mores) Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword and Three Hearts, Bachman's Dragon article (the Weird and its cosmic juxtaposition to human civilization, the waxing/waning of gods being tied to the amount of human worship and the reduction of “Faerie”) Leiber's Lankhmar stories (more satire, petty gods and apotheosis) Early Renaissance Catholicism, Mediterranean hero-cults, Hellenistic and Roman sun-cults, Theosophy, Jewish neoplatinism and mystical traditions, Piper's Lord Kalvan, Early Christian theological disputes (Sun Lord) Hussites, Mormon feminism, William Blake's poetic mythology around the Triple Goddess (Celestial Lady) Slavic pagan mythology (Pahr Old Gods and a number of godlings) Hindu and Native American creation myths (World Turtle) M.A.R Barker's Creat...
solid idea.
ReplyDeletethen incorporate so we can get an enterprise version of G+. ;)

ReplyDeleteThat sounds very much in keeping in spirt with this play group.
ReplyDeleteI’m genuine sad—and concerned about all the collected data/pictures/memories here
ReplyDeleteMaybe port it all to FB or Slack??
ReplyDeleteMan, I ain't know how to farm! I grew up on one and still don't know come here from sick 'em.
ReplyDeleteThe problem I've seen with things like Discord or Slack, etc. is that it's a great chat platform but because they don't have posts, like G+ or Facebook, I kind of just ignore everything everyone says.
ReplyDeleteThe big thing is it needs to be something with a scheduling feature.
ReplyDelete"i ain't gonna work on Markéta's farm no more"
ReplyDeletethe lack of a post/thread/chat distinction in Discord looks like it has very frustrating negative impacts on its utility
ReplyDeleteChris Kutalik i think you'll be able to download your own post and communities, but it's very frustrating that i'm gonna have to go and like Screencap for example the Gammahawk thread
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing "MeWe" as an option...we've moved a small lifeboat over to Discord for a few folks, but yeah, it's straight-up chat/messaging.
ReplyDeleteMeWe looks optimal as it's like Facebook but without anyone I'm related to or work with!
ReplyDeletethe very word "MeWe" fills me with idiot fury
ReplyDeleteShould've gone with I-Us. I'm confused by the whole singular object/plural subject deal.
ReplyDeleteThough I still think it's better than Discord, in terms of functionality. Whatever people choose, it'll be a nice experience in bottom-up community emergence!
ReplyDeletemewe.com - MeWe: The best chat & group app with privacy you trust. See "How can MeWe be free and make money?" which makes no sense, but OK.
ReplyDeleteCrap, when is this happening?
ReplyDelete10 months from now.
ReplyDeleteSo we have some time to figure out an alternative. Jeez, this sucks (though I guess we knew this was coming eventually).
ReplyDeleteMaybe a non-public subreddit?
ReplyDeleteFarm Commune is good - but can wee do that in New Zealand? I have a bad feeling about how the US will be treating collectives in the near-term.
I'm sort of surprised by the fact that the commune idea above was the first thing I've read today that actually made me feel like I could breathe properly again. As long as we're moving though, it would probably be best if it wasn't in the United States. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteWell, we can load up on guns and go challenge a cartel for some arable land in Mexico, I guess.
ReplyDeleteor would could all just start or keep blogging i guess
ReplyDeleteI hear Chris has an empty house in San Anton.
ReplyDeleteCan the yard grow beets?
ReplyDeleteIt’s a quarter acre so we could get a decent garden going
ReplyDeleteAll right, all right. So now all we need are matching jumpsuits and some cheap lumber so we can build shitty bunks for everyone .
