Native American communities were elaborate consensus democracies, many of which had survived for generations because of careful attention to checking and balancing power.

@npub1u3t…c6ug What hypocrisy? They hate the idea of women and non-white people living in society and enjoying themselves. This seems squarely in that wheelhouse...

@npub1m4u…7sa6 If it's useful information, from your remaining list, I generally give Hoopla (and Kanopy) a pass, since the libraries fund it and any restrictions come from the media side. I'd rather have a Free Software solution, in theory, but it'd only wrap the same products with the same restrictions.
The big alternative is probably a home media server, but populating it takes FOREVER, even if you already have a pile of CDs and DVDs to rip like I did.
