Image Map of The Metacan City
Manifesto
The Metacan is both the city and the blueprint of the city: your city perhaps?
It is no longer a matter of debate that the Internet has become enshittified with sockpuppets, advertisers, bigots, and abusers. Who needs any of that crap, right?
In order for minority populations to be safe on the Internet from their oppressors, the time has come to establish secure enclaves and connect them through federation with allies and only allies.
Do not succumb to anyone's insistence on "getting along to get along" and "building bridges."
Burn those bridges. Burn them all. Build new bridges of your own.
Even if you're the only one who walks across them.

- Now just imagine if a bunch of people did this and federated their pantries.
