Mine’s more like slash fiction.

I just love how pervasive the hate

The opposite of love isn’t hate. It’s indifference.

Yes.

Troy is the first Sinead O’Connor song I ever heard. It’s filled with so much love and pain and rage. I was too young to understand it, but I listened to it a lot. It remains one of the most powerful artistic expressions I’ve encountered. Here is a live performance and the music video.

I had the same reaction. The real life reason of course would be that the fight scenes wouldn’t last very long if she could just Doctor Manhattan her way through them.

Adding a !Musicals@kbin.social identifier didn’t work, so removed it from the post.

I’ve been thinking of starting a theatre-focused kbin instance, but realistically not until the platform has matured, as my sysadmin days are well, well, well behind me. In the meantime I’ve started a Musicals magazine on kbin.social.

I wonder if the activitypub protocol (or, if not the protocol then some other layer) allows for the idea of “community mirrors”. The way that the protocol works at the moment, as I understand it, only the host instance has a complete record of a community’s posts and comments. But if there was a way for a community to designate one or more other instances as “mirrors” which maintain a complete sync of a community’s content (going back all the way to the community’s founding), that would lower the exposure to instances going down.

There would need to be a process (both technical and administrative) for a mirror to be designated as the new host instance should the original host disappear.

This would build in additional resilience into the fediverse model, by taking advantage of its distributed nature.
