Maybe. I just assumed people on Lemmy would be familiar with Lemmy when I'm not sure they'd be familiar with Mastodon. But, yeah, maybe they are.

This should be the least controversial take of all time.
Look for Matrix/Element, it's the Lemmy to Signal/Discord/Teams/Slack's Reddit. 👍
Yes, all ancestral land claims are ultimately at least a little bit silly.
There are lots of good ideas out there, I'll just add some that are pretty niche:
- Anything that is legal to do for free is also legal to do for money.
- All laws must have a justification for them written into something like a preamble. If the justification turns out not to be true, winning something like a basic law suit against the law is all that is needed to have the law struck down. No need to wait for legislators to pass a repeal bill or for a very specific case to make its way to a supreme court.
I think you're defining "compensation" a bit too narrowly. Just because people are doing work of some kind in their community and not getting monetary wages for it doesn't mean they aren't being compensated. All human interaction is in some sense a transaction, it might just be more amorphous and unquantifiable than x many dollars. Friendships are trades. If a friendship isn't worthwhile for people, they generally end the friendship, even though most people wouldn't dream of assigning a dollar amount of value to a friendship.
