When visiting (usually) poorer countries, many tend to say it feels more authentic. Why do you think that is? And could this feeling be replicated in richer countries?

I do agree that this feeling points to something true, even though it may be hard to define it. I have some half-baked thoughts but im mainly curious to hear what others are thinking of this

The more development (be it good or bad), the greater the distance to “authenticity”.

Reproducing authenticity is therefore as (im)possible as undoing the development

What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I’ve looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I’ve distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let’s make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it’s perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.
