I guess I find in question is the nuclear explosion within a family when

hese

opinions are open topic conversations and one of the opposing sides push t always make their opinion "my way or the highway" point.

It is no untold story politics and polarization in the USA after our Novem elections and the overwhelming Win on a candidate. AND, the fury of the opposition over the epic loss.

The dilemma now is the nuclear waste fallout withing families "DISOWNING"

ach

other completely. No communication, total silence and yes, the Holidays w family did not exist.

So, I guess the real question is simple. Is this appropriate and is this approach to resolve?

In our family we have one "my way" member. Their side lost this time. Either way, we know not to bring anything up (even the parts of "we" that are on the same side, too) and that is how we deal with it.

Although we've never made a united decision to do so, we don't open the topic and it usually won't come up.

* SLMR 2.1a * If worst comes to worst, you *CAN* turn most things off.

Same here, We don't discuss politics and if the one member in the minority tries to bait us with political tease or whine, we simply ignore him. He eventually either goes home or follows our conversation. It has worked wonders for us.

I'm rooting for the Fediverse. A sysop on a network I was on and one of our callers started identica and has worked on back-end protocols for
some time. He's been involved with ActivityPub recently, just wrote the book on it.

This reminds me that I read about Gemini (the protocol, not the Google-related thing) recently.

And I feel as though there are a variety of things that would be neat to do as content that I put online.

But reliably I want to control my stuff. But there's also a problem that it'd be nice to have some amount of people _see_ the stuff, and, "just put it on my own server" isn't really useful for that. Sadly.

So, yeah, I'm also rooting for the Fediverse, as it's currently the best-available option that seems to be resistant to encrappification.

There's an acronym - POSSE - Publish on your own site, Syndicate
elsewhere. You control and own your content, syndicate it to an
audience, and control where/how it gets published elsewhere.

Wordpress has publishing tools available, so your content is
automatically syndicated - but stays on your server.

That _does_ seem like the way to do it.

...though I'm not sure I want to deal with a Wordpress install. I guess I'm biased (fairly or not) toward thinking that it's pretty heavyweight, and also connected to people who might not be reliably lined up with my interests.

But I'm not even sure what content I want on the web. I tend to wind up with wikis that I mostly use for my own stuff, rather than as something to share.

Theoretically I could write things that are more personal, but then I would want them in a restricted place, both semi-private and controlled by me.

Without having a great idea on the content, it's hard to say what the proper tool is.

That said, I had enjoyed what Octopress looked like, for blogging, though it seems to be abandonware, now. But Jekyl still exists, and that seems lightweight and easy.

But probably doesn't easily do what you're talking about.
