  If near monopolies agree to a rules sets with one another, they can effectively monopolize. That’s why there are regulations in place to prevent that behavior but we’re consistently seeing the lack of enforcement of those rules. Sure there are still other telecoms other than these two, but in the US each of the major telecoms are guilty of this sort of behavior, and while phone unlock is allowed they create unnecessary barriers to make it more difficult for consumers to do this, at the benefit to themselves. It’s similar malicious compliance to providing an ability to cancel a subscription but making it difficult to do so for consumers so they give up trying.

  Near monopolies say monopolistic behavior is good for you and does not only benefit them. More bullshit at 11.

  These are just my thoughts based on what I’ve read so far. Do what you will with it. This is just my general advice.

  If you like a community on an instance, make friends on it. If you network with enough individuals that feel the same way about a community that you do, fork that community onto a new instance and carry on. I see others weighing in on too much control, not enough control, defederate, remove moderator or admin control from individuals that censor, ban, on lean one direction over another. You’ll find these power dynamics are more prevalent or less prevalent depending on the instance you’re on or communities your partipate in. If you feel strongly enough about it, be the change you want to see and determine what best course of action you should take that is within your power. Whatever you choose I hope you find or potentially create a community or instance that works best for you.

  Convert the code into a holy relic that will be used to unlock the doors to the Redbox mausoleum we will build with the rest of the machines.

  Only one way to find out 😃. It sounds like we think religious sludge porn will be the predominant genre for at least one redbox

  I want to see one of these bad boys outside on someone’s lawn next to their free literature box. Fill it with some DVDs and Blurays, let people take and add whatever they like, see what happens.

  That’s when you let her know you’ve always got a bucket of your gravy ready for her. Hashed? Mashed? You’ve got her smothered and covered.
