Interesting replies but I’m just wondering what file format to use.

ascii + markdown for text if you’re from the US

Don’t we have troubles opening stuff from 4-5 os versions ago?

Yeah, but that is because people want to make money and so make their file formats difficult to understand on purpose.

Whatever creatures discover our mystical tablets will hopefully be far smarter than us, or they’ll use the sum of human knowledge to tile their bathrooms.

They would probably shut it down after 2 years. Sooner if it was any good.

I’m in agreement with you. My point was that the content is already being posted (poorly in the case of the bots, IMO).

Universal literacy was supposed to educate the common man to control his environment. Once he could read and write he would have a mind fit to rule. So ran the democratic doctrine. But instead of a mind, universal literacy has given him rubber stamps, rubber stamps inked with advertising slogans, with editorials, with published scientific data, with the trivialities of the tabloids and the platitudes of history, but quite innocent of original thought. Each man's rubber stamps are the duplicates of millions of others, so that when those millions are exposed to the same stimuli, all receive identical imprints. It may seem an exaggeration to say that the American public gets most of its ideas in this wholesale fashion. The mechanism by which ideas are disseminated on a large scale is propaganda, in the broad sense of an organized effort to spread a particular belief or doctrine.

Honestly, the first few days felt quite sad, like a breakup. But now I am grateful because I’ve moved on and found something better.

These last few weeks of non-commercial social media have been pretty nice.

Thanks spez!
