What about the rest of the Fediverse or other parts of the internet?
Soft tissue paper
Like some college campus in the US, probably. Or Portland.
A small, abandoned office building.
The ground floor would be full of TVs playing news networks and people arguing about politics.
The top floor would be cubicles for the coomers
The basement would be full of servers and bearded people with Thinkpads running Linux
So basically exactly the same as my basement
The tankies would be in the garden trying to start a commune
Some random building used for parties that one person pays for regularly so everyone else can stand in social circles and talk about random topics because they have nothing better to do.
More like a building where several strangers each pay for a flat, and people are free to come and go to different flats as they please.
I also think there would be a couple of distinct groups sticking to their own flats, and none of the others in the building wanting to visit them. These flats are known as “Dedederated”. Now and then a newcomer will stumble through the door, have a look around, and decide to never open that particular door again.
Note that I’m not mentioning any particular instances, so if you feel offended by this, that’s probably on you.
I was also thinking flats/apartments where people go to hang out as a good metaphor. Not necessarily fancy ones either, the kind of cheaper, basic ones most people start with early in their adult life.
Apartments as fancy as its denizens are willing to make it, really.
Also a few of the flats have donation boxes, and hopefully over time that’ll be enough to keep the party going :)
Picture a pig pen, but really dirty
A library full of cool people not stiffs lol
It is one of this places that were built by anarchists without any license and look, smell and feel quite funky. The audience though is really nerdy. So the closest that comes to mind is a Hacker space in a large European city.
Sounds like we might meet at the congress in december. :)
Kensington Market in Toronto.
Multiple small mom & pop stores in a slightly grungy setting.
A Prius with a Ukraine sticker slapped on the hatchback.

Picture if you will a conputer genius, an expert in his field able to write like Shakespeare in basic. This person lives in 1985 and so what would be less than a raspberry pi today is now a large room filled to bursting. Lemmy is that room
The house from Fight Club.
Half the users are imaginary.
It would look like a warehouse full of shelves that are very well organized but there’s no map, and a lot of the shelves have the exact same designation but completely different contents.
Library of babel?
A city university in Bogota during a paro.
