NateI’m hoping we avoid an economic and societal collapse in the near future and transition successfully to a better world where possible instead, but collapse would remove many of the structures of power, and create opportunities for alternatives - especially for those who suffer so much under our current systems - as it seems it has in the past<a href="https://aeon.co/essays/the-great-myth-of-empire-collapse" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://aeon.co/essays/the-great-myth-of-empire-collapse</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#collapse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#revolution</a>

Mar 🔥Signal is convenient and no doubt more secure than most conventional messaging apps. And it's kind of nice to see so many activists have made it their home, leaving WhatsApp or Instagram groups behind.Yay 😺But <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Signal</a> is not a <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/federated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#federated</a> system. It's centralised with its base in the fascist states of America. That should set your alarm bell going.Not so much because of the nagging feeling that there must be a catch. (Did someone leave a backdoor open?) 🙀No, more because of control and <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#collapse</a>. If a single company controls all our private communication, this means it takes only a single blow to wipe our networks. If Signal's services collapse, due to some natural or artificial catastrophe, we'd be nowhere and scrambling to find our bearings.So, although I'm not suggesting people abandon Signal en masse, I do think it's wise for people to start exploring and experimenting with federated alternatives. If in every community or <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/activist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#activist</a> network there are a few people who know how to use alternative and decentralised messaging software, and willing to share that knowledge, set up some kind of fall-back, then when things get prickly there will at least be a known path forward for you and your comrades 😼

The Akkadians left us cuneiform records (writing inscribed with reeds onto clay) and staggering ziggurats (massive, terraced, flat-topped temples). And Ur-Namma, the first king of the Third Dynasty of Ur, left us the earliest known legal code. This means that popular perceptions of many past empires, such as Rome or the Qin, focus on their great artwork and monumental achievements, such as the Colosseum or the Great Wall of China.In recent years, many archaeologists and historians have taken a different approach, asking: what was it like as an ordinary person to live through these imperial collapses? You may assume that a collapse in the imperial superstructure meant that people went hungry and homeless, and that is certainly the picture in the poems of lamentation and sorrow. But the physical evidence of people’s health, for instance, shows something very different.As a researcher who studies the causes of civilisation collapse to inform policy in the present, I believe this matters. In textbooks, museums and popular culture, history is often told as a tale of rise and fall. It is a story of human progress during the reign of empires and kingdoms, followed by regression and barbarism when these fade away. This is why we have the idea of imperial ‘golden ages’ of wealth, peace and cultural advances, followed by a descent into ‘dark ages’ marked by violence, poverty and stagnation. Yet this is history through the eyes of elites. Not only does this skew our understanding of the past, but it also shapes how we think about collapse in the present and future."<a href="https://aeon.co/essays/the-great-myth-of-empire-collapse" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://aeon.co/essays/the-great-myth-of-empire-collapse</a>
