#freeload — Public Fediverse posts

@sofia @scottsantens

Are we just supposed to write it off as "Some people will #freeload, and the rest will just have to pay to #subsidize them without having any say about it"?

Or is there another answer? If so, what is it? If it's "shut up and pay for their sloth", how do you justify that #morally, or #practically? It's bound to create #conflict.

#UBI #proposals are usually silent on this, but it needs to be answered. What's your say regarding...

Some people will choose not to do anything #productive, and be happy living on the UBI doing nothing but watching TV etc. I do not know the exact percentage of the populace that will choose #sloth, but I know for certain that it will not be #zero.

What does the rest of society do about this? Is the answer "Just accept some will #freeload and let them"?

If not, what is it?

@venya time for my yearly plea to #FreeLoad

What a busy summer. I'm:

1. Writing an example ActivityPub server with a ton of docs as a toy
2. Continuing to edit and produce @librelounge
3. Writing a white paper on anti-spam on the #Fediverse
4. Writing Data Shards, along with @cwebber
5. Last week I began writing #Freeload.io with @rmw
6. Had shoulder surgery

I feel like I'm missing a few things too...
