Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!
lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 22 hours agoNo I mean, I don’t “trust” a groceries store. I only use them to trade for groceries, and only use cash when doing so.
Just because I use someone doesn’t mean I trust them. Even more: just becaue I trust Alice, that doesn’t mean I trust Bob by transitivity.
in that case you might be part of the problem atm. of course, if you buy groceries, you trust the grocery store to not sell you poisoned stuff. and if your friend asks you where to buy groceries, you recommend those you have good experiences with.
That said, trust is on its way out in our society but that is a political problem, not a technical. i can solve technical problems.

I don’t know what Mafia-led grocery stores you use but if I put in a pickup order at my local store I trust them to actually have what I asked ready at the time, place, and cost we agreed to.
