What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?
I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then.

But we used it at my last job!

How is pirating software a thing?
I understand that sharing video, photos, documents etc. is relatively safe because the data is not executed in the processor as instructions.

Is there any community or communities you like the most?
Suggestion: asking for the community's thoughts before defederating with an instance
It'd be nice if the admins got everyone's input on these sorts of things. Admins making decisions without thought to our opinions is what drove us here from reddit. I'm not going to lose sleep over hexbear defederation in particular, but it's a disconcerting precedent....
