@feld maybe when the holocaust happens we'll get good free bunk beds!

sorry i'm going to be blocking texas, louisiana and florida at the moment. bubbletea will probably be going some major changes in the near future, and i'm not sure about the fedi instance as well

@Vinnewed Goblin i highly recommend finding your local tech hubs, usually they're slack or discord groups, asking local subreddits for your local tech community and getting phone numbers and setting up multiple modes of direct communication with them. don't just join the big groups, you need to have direct communication because those are currently thinking of moving away from slack or discord also

@Vinnewed Goblin yep all of these laws are so broad it basically makes it impossible due to threat of underagies at any time. they're weaponizing children lmfao

@Phantasm (alt) i'm just thinking broadly, this will force everyone to host private intranets and then force any external social communications to go through barely visible, centralized private community models like private trackers currently do

basically just completely nuking any decentralized networks in favor of tiny, closed ones or corporations with massive legal teams

jesus christ shit is sinking faster than I thought it would

@Cathemerawl the south is open for you

@Phantasm (alt) god will i have to shut down bubbletea. this is insane

if all these states try to make it illegal to host messaging apps then we're so screwed lmao

@Izzy :QueerCat_Trans: i say we make a separate internet protocol for just adults because i never want to even perceive anyone under 18 on the internet. if they want to create their own network protocols and then maybe that should be allowed, but it should be determined by a <18 legal system all very far away from me :^)

does using bubbletea live in texas, virginia, louisiana or nebraska?
