@a0b872c9 mmm yeh dumb artists will be a problem up until they figure out how much they could have made i suppose. i think one clever PR campaign could ruin them tbh. get spotify on board and they are dead. 

 @a0b872c9 by cultural do you mean large business trying to protect its interest ? im not sure what you mean. economically it makes sense for the artists. its a no brainer. just waiting for someone to write the software in a way i can support (ie decentralised database) 

 @a0b872c9 havent seen a system that does it yet, but you could plug and play that within a day and get rid of the PRS and PPL. 

 @a0b872c9 they do but why use the systems we already have when metadata exists. the PRS and PPL can be replaced with software easily. the money should just go to whatever is playing. 

 @1d7ca1eb i hate the way people keep referring to voting like its actually a reflection of peoples views given you get areas where classes of people group together. the localised system is fscking stupid. ive invented a much better one now and you dont need politicians, just software. i am basically the new Karl Marx and all i did was type it into chatGPT. it irks me, why is nobody thinking of different systems when this one is so obviously broken. 

 @1d7ca1eb they have trotted the same stuff out for over a decade now always hoping to sneak it by and they keep trying, i guess they arent going to stop till they finally break encryption everywhere. good job fuckwits. the argument to do it always involves children, and never involves the fundamentals of encryption and privacy so if you argue against it you are "against kids safety". i would vote against this but thats impossible illustrating exactly how pointless the "choice" of "democracy" is. 

 @e4e2d62e how do you get rid of all this bs from the AI tag 

 @9ac07000 @dae5a3b2 no moderation, self moderation, ai moderation, volunteer moderation, i could go on 

 @9ac07000 @dae5a3b2 im not sure about moderation in general tbh, could be solved with other things. i think the architecture should be more complicated than "a node", but you get where im going 

 @9ac07000 @dae5a3b2 ah im glad you asked that question! because i believe you should ditch the server idea and use groups instead. have nodes forwarding the whole network, to solve the problem of confusion and reddit kingdom style moderating 

 @58db300d @a61bc064 meh it's all too fiddly I can't be arsed, thanks tho 

 @9ac07000 @dae5a3b2 yeah the only problem is the design really, the reliance on servers with their own rules rather than nodes is stupid. 

 @a61bc064 my mistake i thought you were someone that actually worked on this if anyone knows who programmed this mess let me know and im going to give them it.
