『she hacked you』 is like a pokèmon, evolving into a larger + more complex
community project SHY originally was only free educational computer science
courses streamed live weekly; needing music for the stream, it became a music
project, needing a community to tie everything together so there would be
students and not an empty stream; I begun social media presence like on
mastodon.social. Then overtime that has begun to change what the project is and
means; and it has become more of a community. Will it work? Who knows, probably
not, but we can only know if we try ## About Us A community primarily made of
various scientists, makers, hackers, communists, socialists, ecologists,
mycologists, journalists, artists, arsonists, writers, environmentalists, witch
apologists, engineers, activists, narco-terrorists, night-timers, day-dreamers
and party-crashers Different backgrounds, and beliefs; but what binds us
together is the concern/care for other humans, and other creatures around us.
Refusing to be bystanders in our universe Objective facts are important to us
b/c of our feelings All languages/cultures/nationalities/identities are welcome:
please join us and share your unique perspective, thoughts, posts, and
interesting links ### Rules Essentially none; you are free to be stupid, free to
post just about anything Our goal is to mimic freedom of expression found on the
early internet; but that is also freedom to endlessly ridicule, embarrass,
insult and shame if you create stupid or hateful posts But preferably, cultivate
Interpersonal communication skills, be comfortable when incorrect, and learn
from other people Racist, fascist, and classical nazi to neo-nazi-- will wish
you got banned; instead of consequences like suddenly bricked devices ###

decision, anyone is welcome to contact me via direct message or email:

Support & Donations Contributing financial support does make a difference via
paypal [https://paypal.me/shehackedyou] or via ko-fi
[https://ko-fi.com/shehackedyou] Support enables this community to continue
growing; while never featuring advertisements, pay-walls. Enable continuous
improvement full-time And, of course, you can shower me with your cryptocurrency
You were able to make obscene amounts in cryptocurrency? Then why haven’t you
sent me some already? I’m offended I will take whatever esoteric fork-coin or
token you want to gift me; don’t regale me with tales of its extraordinary
magical properties, just send it. bc1qwwrxcyphm5wq5cwft9vd40vxd0n5d2kzcluw3j ###
Want to moderate? Reach out; even if this doesn’t provide a platform for
long-form posting like originally intended if a community nucleates around it,
growth will be encouraged and interesting things will be found here.
There are a lot of leftist communities, there are a lot of science communities, but not many leftist hacker/scientist/engineering communities because those types of communities are often libertarian and believe in tech saviourism bullshit
even if you just want to learn, we can help you, teach you computer science, programming, or just want to hear what communist hackers are up to
like i’m pro bitcoin, pro taking bitcoins from libertarians and selling it back to them.never buy, always sell.
I used the word hacker, but honestly i hate the word hacker:
"If you know me at all
You know my very negative associations with the word #hacker
Despite 2600 efforts; label has caused me a lot of pain + grief + hardship
Why almost laughable when ppl on the internet self label that
Put that in your profile when w/o even accused of a crime- you show up to your house to find intelligence agents sitting around waiting for you" - Ekis (creator of shy community)
It’s been coopted, eIther the common “hacker” as synonymous for “cracker” or the “Hacker News” type which tends to be less about “cool tech that moves civilization forward” and more “services to sop up value while offering gossamer-thin actual advances” and “chasing the almighty IPO or acquisition”
There might have been a time when accelerating startups might have been about “delivering more cool stuff to more people” and less “keep the hype balloon inflated until we can cash out.”
I wonder what startup culture was like pre-Original Dot-Com Bubble.

It’s weird how a link aggregator run by a startup accelerator would occasionally have people interested in accelerating startups

First one, then the other, every time.
