i like kind machines. pro-people-not-dying. anti-nazi. anti-colonizer. pagan, but lazy about it.
I am #HardOfHearing, #nonbinary, polyamourous, into ttrpgs and #tech. Hobbyist #leatherworker, hobbyist scifi author, community builder, and artist.
I like to build #whimsical things that help people to #dream better and form meaningful connections. If you wanna hang out with friendly computer weirdos in Minneapolis, lemme know.

@socketwench @forestjohnson @j3s hell yeah! it's right off the blue line, so you should be OK transit-wise. :)
@June@kitty.town Account created! There might have been an issue with my email server, though. Did you get a response back with login info?
@June@kitty.town yes we are open! Send in an email, I'll make you an account this morning! Would be thrilled to have ya :)
@June@kitty.town (I'm sure we'd love to have ya, but we just don't have a plan/path for how public the space is for new internet people we haven't chatted with yet. We're *really* early on and I didn't wanna speak for everyone.)
Once the space is fixed up, there'll definitely be 'everybody' times, though, and we'd love to meet ya/hangout with ya then. If you want to be involved before it's fixed up, our matrix is the best way.
Also, hiiii! I don't mean to be unfriendly, I'm really excited that you're excited about this! 💙
@June@kitty.town how do you feel about hanging out with us on matrix first? The faq has the dates we plan to work on stuff, but most of our actual, like, culture culture happens in matrix.

Cyberia has a physical space in Minneapolis! We'll be building it out over the next couple of months. As always, the best way to talk to us is via our matrix, but enjoy the faq below!

Also, huge thanks to @forestjohnson and @j3s for really driving this home. It takes a village, but this has been a long time coming, and without their dedication, it wouldn't have happened. Can't wait to help build the new place! 💙
@jonatasbaldin@indieweb.social this might be more useful than links to individual channels, since you'll need a client or account to view:
https://cyberia.club/matrix.html
Here's a link to our main conversation channel, though:
https://matrix.to/#/!LGHxbyxxkgToWnsngE:cyberia.club
Matrix is more like irc and less like a forum, if that's helpful.

Though Surveillance Capitalism is a global phenomenon and a universal term, it is interpreted differently by people from different regions.
Americans see this mostly as a monopoly/anti-trust problem.
Europeans are calling it digital feudalism.
The once-colonized global south sees it as digital colonialism.
All of these interpretations are not only simultaneously true but also demonstrate that this issue is multi-faceted.

@AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe this sounds awful. Clear story of philosophical distinction between charity and mutual aid, too.

The comrades at @ruangrupa_ruru are live shortly, tune in to a nice programme and also help load test their self-managed infrastructure 👌
https://tv.lumbung.space/w/d52dacb5-9853-4241-8a4e-b182eca0f835
We're running this infrastructure on @coopcloud configurations which are available for all to reuse which aligns with the lumbung model.
Autonomic is proud to be supporting this much needed intervention into reclaiming digital infrastructure.

@jonatasbaldin@indieweb.social cool! Yeah, I mostly know the Cyberia folks and a couple of the cloud co-op folks and that's about it.
If it's relevant, we both have very active matrix channels where you could get some clarification.
Regardless, good luck, thanks for putting the list together! 💙
@jonatasbaldin@indieweb.social @wklew I think maybe they both are? There's also a service that begins with an h that some euro folks like?
Of note, the coop cloud folks are kind of a European fork of capsul. They improved a bunch of capsul stuff and then used that source code (permissivly ofc) to run their service. There was a very cool, intense couple of weeks is tight collaboration. You might see something clearer come outta them soon.

Live human event tonight, Minneapolis
To celebrate Ground Zero Nightclub in Minneapolis (finally) requiring vaccination for entry, I'll be doing cool stuff in the back room with computers and Barbie Glamtastic Texters.
Also, there'll be some visuals courtesy of a collaboration between https://cyberia.club and https://livecode.nyc up until midnight cst, so you might wanna check that out, too.
I'll be the nerd with the laptop, crop top and n95 aura mask, feel free to say hi! :)
re: Texas situation/ONI
@thegibson@hackers.town pry0 might've had a sex work security guide that folks could use as a base.
re: Texas situation/ONI
@thegibson@hackers.town I read through those instructions and thought "I don't think I could do this untraceably/securely enough to dodge a surveillance state". I hope someone else has ideas on how to do it more safely.
I'm happy to read/test out any setup instructions for ease-of-use, or to turn any instructions people do write into an illustrated comic. I just don't know enough to be confident that I wouldn't be giving someone a false sense of security.
