friend, pacing: the questbook is lying to us

heck yeah .meow kickstarter is fully funded!

Do you want a website that ends in .meow?

WELL

A few friends and myself have decided to apply to ICANN (the corporation that runs these kinds of things) for a new gTLD (generic Top Level Domain, yknow, like .org or .com) that isn’t for-profit. Instead of paying your money to a digital landlord like GoDaddy and their shareholders, that money is being funneled straight back into the queer community, queer projects, queer charities, etc…

To do that, we need to apply, and to apply, we need money.

The bad: it’s €80,000.

The good: we already got half.

The better: we got half in under ten days.

We’re not there yet, though. There’s two ways to get this money. The first is to promise to sell user data. Since literally our whole thing is paying back into the community, selling user information to governments rapidly spiralling into full-blown fascism or some billionaire who mostly wants to just get even more billionaire…der… We decided not to do that.

So the alternative:

Kickstarter.

I know, I know, it’s not cool to ask for money, but if it’s any consolation we literally can’t get rich off of this and when it starts to make a profit, that money is going to be going into your local queer communities, they will have but to reach out and ask for it. :)

We are trying to build an internet by us, for us.

If you want to support us, the basic (above the lowest) Kickstarter gets you a voucher for a year of a .meow domain, when we go live. If you’re like “okay, cool, I don’t do computers, I’m literally dictating this to my cool cousin” then you can still support by finding your local nerds and sharing this with them! Anyone can help, anyone can support, and you’ll have the knowledge that by having a cool .meow url you’re also helping queer and lgbt communities around the world.

So yeah, it would mean the world to me if you’d share this, if you clickied the link, reached out, talked about it, made noise, ask questions… whatever you want or are able to do to make .meow happen.

Remember: Names Have Power.

Let’s make .meow a thing. By us. For Us.

almost funded!!!!!!

Idk about you but seeing most of the Linux communities I visit have rainbows or pride flags in their icons had to have been the happiest feeling ever.

It's such a small thing but it immediately told me I'd fit in with the people there and that I could be myself if I join.

what do we even post now that "if normal, start podcast" is out of date

the floor is java

i think the internet should transition from being so usa-centric to being brazil-centric. not cos i have any personal connection or bias towards brazil, i just think if anyone could possibly usurp america’s cultural dominance online it’d be them

“man i just woke up where are all these notifs coming fro—“

Maybe this therapy shit is working

Made me wheeze. Adopting this tag into my brain, thank you

Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.

Monster that feeds on suffering becomes a professional caretaker for people with chronic pain and terminal illnesses. They can't change the fact that these people are suffering, but they help a bit and in the meantime they're fat and happy off that Sweet Sweet ambient pain in the air.

Two towns over there's a demon lord trying to get their cult to abduct people for torture, but they keep getting stopped by heroes and the like, so they're barely scraping by. Meanwhile Belogarth the Registered PCA is chowing down on back pain, medication side effects and looming mortality for eight hours a day and has become the most powerful demon on earth without realizing it.

"But don't their clients feel weird knowing that they're feeding off their suffering?" No they think it's hilarious and they're real shits about it.

Finally a medical professional who believes that they are in pain. Because the fucker is actively chowing down on your agony. Not only am I going to get treated by them I'm going to invite all of my chronically ill friends to come as well.

Turns out if you treat the pain then the humans will bring you more humans who are suffering. It's like a restaurant where the waiter is so impressed by your ability to eat food they're giving you more on the house

They say things like "well, it's a real feast day for Belogarth today!" and "if my meds are held up at customs again I'm gonna put Belogarth in a food coma" and Belogarth is the one feeling weird about it
