Prepping is about surviving the collapse of the system.

Resistance Infrastructure is about replacing the functions of the system so it doesn't matter if it collapses or not.

[–] qualia@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

I like this. It's like giving ourselves the tools of power in case the people need to reclaim them.

replacing the functions of the system so it doesn't matter if it collapses or not.

That's what preppers do too. Providing their own food, water, shelter and security so that they're not reliant on the system. Hosting your media is really just stockpiling entertainment, like someone else might stockpile food.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing to do, and it might even be useful in some events.

Nah, preppers don't grow their on food and do the community organizing required for security, they buy a months worth of food and 13 guns as a form of consumption. 2020 literally had those privileged fucks rioting to go to Applebee's and get professional haircuts.

[–] Micromot@piefed.social 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The difference lies in the community aspect of it. Self hosted stuff can very eaaily be shared between people. Preppers usually Jeep their stuff to themselves instead of sharing in the community and helping each other out

The most powerful statement I ever heard was from when I asked my uncle why he doesn't take as many physical security measures for his home, despite his educational background (electrical engineer) and knowledge of vulnerabilities.

His reply was simple:

"I trust my neighbors, I trust my neighborhood. If something happens to my family, I can ask around. If my neighbors need my skills or assistance, they can ask me whenever I'm home."

I hope FOSS communities can reach that level of trust in the common user sphere.
