Most likely Hivemind, could also be called, Gestalt Intelligence, group mind, group ego, or mind coalescence. It’s very much a staple of sci-fi for decades.

The same way Texas did its abortion bounty scheme or Florida made it ok to run protestors over. Empower the chuds to enact violence, maybe lock one or two up for going too far and call it a day, while nothing is actually done to stop the violence.

If thar were the case, what sorts of duties would such a position entail?

Mutual respect and being apolitical are definitely not the same things. Like I said, politics has always been a part of sports.

Eh I tend to find that nothing is truly apolitical. Everything that exists is affected by politics. If you start looking you can find how politics plays a role in everything.

Like this bottle of Coke I’m currently drinking. The corn syrup used in it is super cheap because the agriculture industry is heavily subsidized to grow corn, the logos and branding falls under trademark and copyright law, the plastic that makes up the bottle has regulations on the types of plastic used and can only use food safe plastics, and that plastic is a product of petroleum, so fossilr fuel lobbying isninvolved too, the water that Coca Cola uses could very well have come from a source that was plundered by a PMC (look up Nestle for that one) and stolen from locals. And then just because I throw the bottle into recycling, doesn’t mean as soon as it leaves my hand that it’s properly handled along the entire processing and doesn’t just end up in a landfill anyway. And that’s not talking about all the different lobbyists from all the various industries that play a role in making, shipping and disposing of a bubbly brown liquid in a bottle made of polymerization petroleum.

Yeah none of that politics stuff like how Jackie Robinson playing baseball definitely wasn’t political, and the US vs Soviets 1980 Olympics definitely wasn’t politically charged, and people definitely were expressing their dislike of the Soviets during the game or the entire point of the Olympics being a peaceful gathering of nation states for competition ia definitely not political, or all the taxpayer money that goes to building stadiums also isnt political, or that the owners of sports teams are politically active isnt… political. Oh… wait.

Yeah it does break the pattern but there isn’t much of an option that keeps everything super clean like tjat, unless it’s something like ctrl alt N for a private window.

Or Ctrl+Shift+P for Firefox

Right but how much of our daily existence is tied to the internet? Like all of our banking systems, our commerce, communications, infrastructure.

That entirely depends on who your subscribed to. Personally all my stuff channels like Numberphile/computerphile, or SmarterEveryDay, and plenty of Blender3d tutorial channels, animators, and a whole bunch of other informative channels.

Tears of Grace has some videos that just showcase the… brokenness, seems a bit forgiving as a term, of the game.

From what it looks like to me in testing, in any given instance All is any other instance that communicates with said instance, Local is all communities within an instance, and Subscribed is just the communities within the instance you have explicitly subscribed to.
