I am absolutely loving the fact that fedi is the kind of place where people still not only know the terms "scrip" and "company town", not only understand why these are dangerous ideas, but are also violently vocal about how bad they are as soon as something shaped like them is mentioned.

 engagement and related data wants to be freeee. 💃✨

also where people give a shout out to people where they take their inpiration ;)

it's important.

when we DO learn from history, we are NOT NECESSARILY condemned to repeat it

@ireneista
@rysiek

 we just enjoy finding clever ways to say it, because we hope that will get more people actively thinking about it

FFXIV actually has an in-game currency called scrip which is very much a reference to the original practice and explicitly framed as such in lore. I always wonder how many other players know the history behind it.

How do we radicalize the normies on the corporate controlled net?
