I am going to be in Strasbourg Monday to Wednesday, explaining to MEPs why they need to fix the Copyright Directive proposal.

I will do my best to share the experience here.

So, I enjoy Fediverse discussions very much (most of the time), and I am very inclined to have more of these. One thing that sometimes throws me off is that as more people join in, chaos ensues and the original topic of discussion gets diluted, and then there is no discussion anymore.

So I am thinking of a thread-as-performance, sort of. Like when you have a panel, 2-3 people discussing something freely, but others just listen, so that the discussion can run its course.

It is not pleasant to be told that maybe you don’t know who you are, or how to treat your friends, or how to be happy. It’s not pleasant to have it pointed out to you that maybe nothing you have ever done matters, or that, for all you know, there is nothing out there at all."
