  • Norms are eroded when they are violated and there are no consequences.
    ‘Why should I pay attention to carpool lane signs if there is not penalty for violating them? I won’t.’ Lots of people think this way and now they are just another lane.
    Violations of norms are also contagious. If one traffic law doesn’t matter, maybe we can get away with violating it more. ‘I did it before and didn’t get caught. Maybe I can keep doing it to save time’










  • Build it yourself. Stash several mini computers connected to Lora radios around town. Connect to form a mesh all focused on the same fediverse page. Connect wifi hotspots to those servers, connecting phones to the hosted page, not to the internet.
    You’d get a localized community site that by design can’t be infiltrated by people from across the country hating on you (e.g., San Francisco and Texas).
    No idea on feasibility or how much work, but seems to address your question at least.
