I've noticed that as technology has progressed over the last few decades, it has gotten progressively cheaper - like, it used to cost some serious $$$ to host your own website/community back in the day, but now you can easily get away with it for less than ~$100/yr.

people that like to create things have a vested interest in maintaining their creations - presumably they'd pay some small amount in order to have their creations (or a digitally archived copy) preserved for posterity.

not familiar with DAOs, but it sounds sort of like a form of currency. if everyone adopts it, or recognizes its value (much as American currency is valued in countries with weak economies), and the tokens are redeemable across multiple platforms (or have a real world value), then that, along with other sources of remuneration (crowdfunding, donations, etc) could easily pay for the cost of hosting content long term.

presumably new slang will be developed as the communities mature.

the median price for a house in my area is $900k. median. if I wanted to buy a house that wasnt in a crime ridden hell hole, I'd have to move somewhere that has no jobs.

my project at this point in time is building an RV and living it in until I can afford to buy land and run water/sewer/electricity to it. the upside is that a house on wheels can drive where it's warm.

the problem isnt those individual people so much as echo chambers. back when Hillary lost her Presidential bid, there were a LOT of similar calls from the lefty side of the media - inciting riots, etc.

it's nothing new, really.

presumably it's not seismically active there, but it would be interesting to see what happened if a deep bore hole hit magma (DIY volcano)

canadian govt really needs a more active forest service - letting it get out of hand like this is a bit ridiculous.

I think there's something in the water down there.
