If there’s any interest, I could write guides on how to set up Discourse or Jitsi on your own server, similar to the IRC guide. https://www.neatnik.net/setting-up-an-irc-server/

IRC is just one alternative to Discord, focusing more on the live chat side of things. Discourse is another solid alternative, especially for communities that lean more heavily toward threaded messaging and slow-motion discussions. And Discourse’s live chat is super nice, too!

For voice and video, Jitsi is great. I think IRC
+ Jitsi or Discourse + Jitsi could replace Discord in many cases. It wouldn’t be perfect, but at least you don’t have to show your papers.

US government: hey Puerto Rico do you want statehood *points to pizza party* or do you want independence *points to snake pit*?

PR: statehood we guess?

Americans: wow Puerto Rico really loves us 😍 I'm gonna reference this vote under every Puerto Rico post for all eternity

TL;DRH we never wanted to be a state, the gringos who stole our land never wanted us to be a state, and Spain back-stabbed us.

by us, i mean the working classes, not the landowning managers of La Corona & gringolarchy.

so we’ve been in a limbo, sometimes bombing you gringos with guerrillas or musicians.

as it stands: way before owing us independece, USians owe us reparations; ie: Puerto Rico is taíno land denied to millions of us gaslighted about not surviving genocide

Again, nothing will piss you off about the US quite like learning by about Puerto Rican history. It’s a well of European and US racism.

And in perfect Colonialist racism, US people STILL weigh in on what Puerto Rico “should be” or “should have” without knowing anything about the country or history, or caring to learn. It’s like the perfect example of how shitty US Colonialism is.

We’ve moved our internal communications from Discord to Zulip at Mastodon, and I think there are plans to do the same for our Patreon community. The harder part will be untangling my gaming communities from this…

If you feel the urge to weigh in on Puerto Rican statehood, even if it's just to comment that Puerto Rican's "voted" to become a state, you should first learn Puerto Rican history.

You should understand the flavor of racism your grandparents used against Puerto Ricans, and why that racism still exists today regardless of your political party affiliation.

Then, you can undo the conditioned belief that Puerto Ricans cannot govern themselves.

The log checking is done, and I indeed did come 1st in North America for 10m QRP at the 2025 CQ WW SSB contest!

All the sweeter because my antenna was homebrew (and blew down two days later 😂).

I think it would be fun to have a homebrew superhet category for these contests.

What we’re seeing are not “protests,” but what Adam Serwer has so aptly called “neighborism”: Acts of democratic solidarity that directly confront the political project that is fueling the violent occupation and defy the MAGA vision of terrorizing those who don’t “belong” into isolation.

The push for the adoption of "AI" in healthcare and education is a push to dismantle healthcare and education for the masses.
