All your communication is routed through an optic link bouncing off an imaginary-angled mirror in the meridian where your spheres intersect

Human interstellar communication is tricky not because of signal strength, but because 20 years of moral drift is a lot of taboos to violate

Back Twitter is pretty good actually. Small, tight-knit community, supported by a handful of well-picked employees. None of the execs know~

What the makers get out of it is well-tested and working colony designs and colonist communities that have already been seeded in-game

a few ideas:↵- betting on who dies next↵- communicating through a medium (optional: exactly one sentence/round)↵- reincarnation?

You have one bit to communicate to the outside. Do you one-AI-box or two-AI-box?

keystone memes as inconspicuous ideas that nonetheless hold a world view together, keystone people that play the same role in communities

Memes are agents that will eat your and your group’s communication bandwidth (a finite resource) if you let them. Treat them accordingly.

Now extinct, wild cathedrals were once popular game. Sure, it took a whole community to hunt one but its meat would sustain them for a year.

@kas@enotty.dk That’s what i’m using. But shouldn’t i be able to generate keys to communicate with other users? How could i encrypt a message for you?

Finding the right community is a journey: How do two people find out to lack the same idea if they cannot articulate it or even think it?

But others segregated themselves into new communities. They would settle in cities that knew no straight lines, right angles, or lacked red.

Neighbors
Our neighbors are moving. The ones on the left, that is. They have been our neighbors for fifteen years, and lived here for seventeen, since the community was built. Quiet neighbors, the best kind. Now we roll the dice, and hope for the best, for whoever comes next.
