Each and every chat application seem subjected to #evil, #dystopian #chatcontrol.
Is there any way to protect our #privacy? Can #FreeAsInDesktop or #selfhosting software be helpful?
In that case which? #matrix? #Jami? Something else?

"Neofeud is packed with passion, personality, and powerful political commentary. When you play, you're stepping into someone's bold and deeply personal vision of the future." --Steam reviewer https://store.steampowered.com/app/673850/Neofeud/ #indiedev #indiegame #retrogames #dystopian

The game is made almost entirely by one person (Chris Miller, a.k.a. Silver Spook), and is packed with passion, personality, and powerful political commentary. When you play, you're stepping into someone's bold and deeply personal vision of the future. And it's dystopian, hilarious, weird, and disturbingly relevant. The story is what really hooked me. Its smart, satirical, and goes deeper than you may expect given all the pop culture references in the dialogues on social issues affecting people now and atthe time of release. It uses dark humor, sci-fi weirdness, and clever writing to make its point in a way that sticks with you if you take the time to try and understand both the direct and underlying themes and references, and it's greatly enhanced if you read the creator's social media channels or hang around the streams, where they talk deeply about where a lot of the influences come from. Visually, the game has a raw, gritty art style that some might call rough or offputting at first, but I found it incredibly charming and fitting. It's not glossy, it's not clean, and that's exactly why it works. It fs and feels handmade, ived-in, punk and real. And it's the same about the: Voice acting, every character has distinct personality and delivery, which adds a ton of depth to

#Blackstone owns 300k homes. Very Neofeud 'Let Them Eat Cake' moment from pre-guillotine Star Spangled Versailles. The aristocracy didn't even bother to take the 'lord' out of 'landlord' when they put the 'capitalist democracy' mask on. (second pic is Neofeud in-game screenshots)

@urlyman That's if one takes a strictly view. I would argue that the invention of writing or any of these transformational technologies is and was equally unprecedented in context. As with any transformation and technology there are positives and negatives. I will guarantee that if we do not accept our new context someone else in the world will develop it and use it to their ends and not ours.

So I did a deep drive, and found a web version of the book I presume they're referring to, giving this definition;

"A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.

, 2022

So ... it's a distributed diplomatic entity, whose population consists entirely of landlords?

They appear in Neal Stephenson's dystopian SF novel Snow crash.
As does much else.
