    First, they sent the missionaries. They built communities, facilities for the common good, and spoke of collaboration and mutual prosperity. They got so many of us to buy into their belief system as a result.

    Then, they sent the conquistadors. They took what we had built under their guidance, and claimed we “weren’t using it” and it was rightfully theirs to begin with.

    See, this is why we can’t have nice things. Money fucks it up, every time. Fuck money, it’s a shitty backwards idea. We can do better than this.

      You can be killed with steel, which has a lot of other implications on what you do in order to avoid getting killed with steel.

      Does steel fuck it all up?

      Centralization is a shitty backwards idea. But you have to be very conscious of yourself and your instincts to neuter the part that tells you that it’s not to understand it.

      Distributivism minus Catholicism is just so good. I always return to it when I give up on trying to find future in some other political ideology.

        List of Distributist parties in the UK:

        • National Distributist Party
        • British National Party
        • National Front

        Hmmm, maybe the Catholic part isn’t the only part worth reviewing.

        Also worth noting that the Conservative Party’s ‘Big Society’ schtick in 2010 was wrapped in the trappings of distributism.

        Not that all this diminishes it entirely but it does seem to be an entry drug for exploitation by the right.

        I gotta hold my hand up and state that I am not read up on it at all, so happy to be corrected. But my impression is that Pope Leo XIII’s conception was to reduce secular power so as to leave a void for the church to fill. And it’s the potential exploitation of that void that attracts the far right too.

          Well, it is a right ideology. It can be that, of course.

          Of leftist ideologies it’s the best one, but not as beautiful and overarching as distributivism.

      Every edit is reviewed by multiple people. If you have low karma, then your edit is reviewed before the edit gets applied to the current state of the database.

      Even with high karma, your edit still gets reviewed and will be reverted if it’s a bad edit.

      And any time an edit is reverted, that’s a knock against your account. There’s a requirement for all edits to improve the content you’re editing.

      … keep in mind Stack Overflow doesn’t just allow editing your own posts, you can edit any content on the website, similar to wikipedia.

    To vandolise your own work and to hopefully not get banned, make/edit your posts to include an ‘AI’ response, make it appear as being helpful and have the ‘AI’ say its catchphrases while its clearly malphunctioning. (creativity knob too high/low, poisoned like tay AI, invisable   (nbsp) marks in the middle of words or other unicode corruption like G̸͖̓l̸̠̓i̶̛͓t̸̞̑c̴̯͝h̷̝̾ ̷̨͒ṱ̴̃e̷̤̾x̸̟͊t̷̫͝, obvious programming flaws that makes code not compile, etc)

    Pretend the AI’s answer was useful and wink to the humans that its not.

    Also, I dont discredit @FJW@discuss.tchncs.de’s answer.

    … Frankly, the solution here isn’t vandalism, it’s setting up a competing side and copying the content over. …

    His is less childish. His is the way to move forward. Mine is looking back and ventimg steam.

    … Anything else is just playing around and hoping that a company acts against its own interests, which has rarely ever worked before. …

    Begun, the AI wars have.

    Faces on T-shirts, you must print print. Fake facts into old forum comments, you must edit. Poison the data well, you must.

      Problem is, it still results in turning the Internet to shit. We just do it manually to preempt the AI doing it.

    You really don’t need anything near as complex as AI…a simple script could be configured to automatically close the issue as solved with a link to a randomly-selected unrelated issue.

    Frankly, the solution here isn’t vandalism, it’s setting up a competing side and copying the content over. The license of stackoverflow makes that explicitly legal. Anything else is just playing around and hoping that a company acts against its own interests, which has rarely ever worked before.

      How and why is it illegal (I will take down my post about vandlism until I discuss this.)

        I’m not saying vandalism is illegal. I’m say that it borders on immoral and that there is a better, more radical (and thus effective) alternative that one might expect to be illegal but in fact isn’t.

    The enshittification is very real and is spreading constantly. Companies will leech more from their employees and users until things start to break down. Acceleration is the only way.

        That’s a terrible analogy, implying the wish that everyone on the plane dies if one engine fails.

        It’s like an airline company has been complete shit for decades, wanting to see them fail fast so that a better airline company can take their place.

    Reddit/Stack/AI are the latest examples of an economic system where a few people monetize and get wealthy using the output of the very many.
