- actionfromafar 4y agoAll cults operate in a similar way. It's important to have a very distinct in-group with codes only fully understood internally.

It’s the same as scams, selecting against people who recognise cults is a feature, it means you don’t have to weed those out. Means your recruitment process is that much more efficient.
- Lammy 4y agoThere are plenty of things worth criticizing in Urbit, IMO mostly related to the recreation of real-world scarcity as a digital namespace. Nobody seems to mind this very much in POSIX: [Lammy#~] true && echo $? 0
- gonehome 4y agoYeah, I’ve always found this complaint weird. It’s like that in Unix and 0 being true (or default) while 1 is error also feels more intuitive to me.
