At its best, nationalism in some forms can help unify people from disparate backgrounds into an imagined national identity. Unfortunately, most nationalism rots into division instead. Christian nationalism in the US, Hindu nationalism in India, Nazis in Germany. These all reject members of the physical nation in favor of their crazed fantasy version.
Anti-colonial nationalism is fine actually. Not ideal but it is basically “everyone here regardless of more local culture should unite in a combined struggle to overthrow the oppressors” as opposed to colonial nationalism.
I think we need to remember that this could be the start of something good if we’re careful but could easily turn dangerous. Anything you post on the Fediverse is already public anyways so I don’t see why people are worried about privacy.
Public platforms could still have issues with privacy too. The platform could profile its users, sell that information and bombard targeted ads or algorithm curated content at users. These aren’t a thing here in Lemmy or elsewhere fediverse, other than Threads…
There’s a linux port for the SGI file browser featured in the movie: fsv.sourceforge.net ---- haven’t run it in ages, though; I don’t know if it’s still functional.
