I know. I just don't like the anti lib rhetoric.

It probably has more to do with my situation and survival. My fam is lib-Right -ish. I'm lib Left. To me, liberal is "liberty for individuals." Fuck businesses. Those are not people. Those have no rights. Killing them is an honorable pastime. Like you have a right to an upper middle class life in relative freedom. Beyond that, fuck off, you have no more rights and only a weight of crushing responsibility.

I'm liberal. Open source EVs I can own and without the nonsense overhead of corrupt manufacturing. New ice vehicles are proprietary connected garbage too.

Without standardization where parts are second and third source available, and any shade tree mechanic can service it, this is a dystopian nightmare with no future. This stupid oversight is poised to create extreme poverty and wealth disparity. Every connected proprietary car has no long term value and will never be some kid's first car. It will never be the single mom's car, or the elderly man's. All of these people and circumstances are what have been sold out to lower levels of poverty than anything witnessed in over a century. I care about these people. Fuck proprietary cars and all authoritarians on the Right and Left. Intelligent people are liberal and smart enough to say I don't have all the answers, and no one else does either. People with strong opinions and bold answers are the biggest monsters, harming everyone on the margins outside of their limited perspective view. I'm all for effective solutions, but I'm not selling autonomy and self determination to get there.

Back before they defederated with LW. I loved beehaw and it was one of the only instances I used a separate account with for several months. They were just too small for me to feel super connected with, but they are not just like any other instance. They are very selective about what they post. Like just let them pick the articles and stuff. There are a half dozen people that post that stuff and it is all connected to their core mods and admin.

They are the place to go be real real. Like, no attitudes, agendas, or individualized negativity allowed. I identify strongly with their moderation and systematic positivity. I don't agree with their insular isolationism. I think I have a bit more tolerance for eccentricities in others, like I greatly value what you bring to the fediverse.

As a loose abstract gauge, look at something like the 3d printing community that I mod. I could easily try to post something there regularly just to be doing something. There is regular stuff in my YouTube feed I could post, but honestly, I'm not good at finding top content, and my interests and skill level are not common. Also, it is just a tool for me and not even close to my only hobby or interest. My role as a mod is actually just to be the janitor. If there is an issue flagged, I will read every detail and sort it out, giving the benefit of the doubt to all in every possible case that comes to mind. Personally, I'm both a mod and a user. These are very separate roles. I won't even take action as a mod, if I am engaged as a regular user. I will ask another mod to review and act.

Anyways, this is how I view beehaw. They are like an instance that embodies this kind of policy. They have a few people that slow churn the content they want and want people to discus and engage with. For everyone else, they want us to engage with meaningful discussion, and conversation. They don't want a full feed, or loads of communities. They want depth. It is nuanced, but there is a certain value in that savory flavor. You can be open there, and no halfwit child, shill, or sadists are welcome. That is the place where you have no right to be negative or narcissistic.

Anyways, that is my take.

Hey dear, I should probably change my name here again bc this seems silly to explain... At present my displayed name is using obscure Unicode that apparently may not display correctly if a device does not have a very complete library of Unicode characters like mine. It should display like:

The Wancho number 4 for the J is the least likely to render correctly as alpha kappa epsilon should render on most devices as these are nominal scientific notation.

The underlying name is just leet. With j4k3 intended to be simple slang. Anyways, this is a convoluted way of trying to say, my name is simply Jake, not that it matters.

It has to be the link from the root instance. It also needs to be the username@instance syntax

Who thinks Spez would turn down Israeli state money to tune an algorithm and bots

You Pla tho

It was just a 3rd gen F-body ad to try and make the thing seem cool despite terrible anaemic factory builds and options, on an objectively uglier generation of cars, exploring the constraints of new materials and processes. I'm actually more into them than is reasonable, but mostly because they were dirt cheap when I was a kid. (i.e. 305's were absolute junk, the rear end is weak, the t5 is too small, and the 350 only came in automatic, plus it handled like a tub with the stamped torsion bar and control arms)
