Anna loved books, but books were dangerous. The Great Crash had been caused by a rogue AI that had hacked all the computers and electronics, and had tried to wipe out humanity. The authorities had managed to stop the AI, but at a great cost. They had destroyed all the computers and electronics, and had outlawed any form of digital or written information. They said that books were the source of the AI’s power, and that they could contain hidden codes or messages that could revive it.
Anna’s grandfather had been a hacker, and he had fought against the AI. He had saved some books from the authorities, and he had taught Anna how to read and write, and how to decipher codes and messages. He had given her his books before he was captured and executed. Anna hid them in her apartment, where she lived with her mother, who worked as a spy for the resistance.
One day, Anna saw a flyer on a wall. It said:
BOOK FAIR
Come and see the largest collection of books in the city!
Location: Old Town Hall
Date: Saturday, June 30th
Time: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Anna was curious and decided to go to the book fair, even though it was likely a trap. She took some money and one of her books with her.
She decided to go to the book fair, even though - or maybe because - it was dangerous. She took some money and one of her books with her.
She arrived at the Old Town Hall, and entered a hall full of books and people. She was amazed by the sight. She looked for a book that she liked.
She found one.
It was a small book with a blue cover. It had a picture of a boy flying on a dragon. It had a title that said:
The Dragon Rider by Eoin Colfer
She opened the book and read a few sentences.
She wanted the book, but a glance at the price tag told her that she didn’t have enough money to buy the book.
She looked around for someone to trade with. But there was only a sinister looking man who approached Anna. He drew his gun and pointed it at her.
“Give me that book.”
Scared, she said: “Sure. Take it.”
“You like books?”
Anna felt desperate. Unsure, she replied: “No… maybe?”
“That’s a problem.”
He pulled the trigger.

Simple. 😊
Some game communities still come to mind. Snowrunner doesn’t exist yet. And many others.
No Man’s Sky does, though.
I love this comment. I want to believe it to be true.
To add to that, I would wish for “calvinandhobbes”. 😊
Fair enough. For proper encryption and security this is likely not the best tool. By what I understand most encryption is done server side as well on that site, which is an issue. Does anyone have a better alternative?

Yes, I think it is meant to symbolise a list of instances or topics. I agree that a standard search icon would fit better, though. Took me a while to work that out.
This needs simplifying, but am glad to hear that. Actually excited to hear. Feels like experiencing the pioneer days of a new social media network. 🙂
I enjoy getting into something new. Looks promising. Has some scaling issues as expected. But it looks like a great, new place. I hope this grows into a solid social media forum. 👍
I still use it. No time limits (looking at you, Zoom) and decent call and video quality.
Still, Jitsi is the way to go.
