Downtown Through a Gezebo

A view of a small town's downtown is seen through a gazebo, showcasing several shops and parked cars. The cloudy sky and autumn leaves create a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

St. Nicholas Cathedral, Elbląg, Poland

It is one of the oldest religious buildings in Elbląg and one of the highest temples in Poland. The tower itself is 97 m high, and the viewing terrace is located at about 70 m. To get to the terrace, you have to climb 365 stairs. However the beautiful views at the top, along with the panorama of Elbląg and the surrounding area, compensate for all the effort! :)

Come December, I expect a bump in #Mastodon inscriptions as more people flee #LeonSkum's disaster of a #Fascist "#TownSquare"

The #ElongatedMuskrat, earlier today, Sept 27, 2024:

«In order to be a platform that fully embraces #FreeSpeech, the #block and #mute features will be removed from #X this December as they are a hindrance to the #1stAmendment»

The excitement of the #e4769 petition got me thinking about metaphors for the #Fediverse. Particularly the "town square" model we know from other places. I've landed on this that immediately pleased me.

The Fediverse is a City.
Every home, apartment, business, government office, can see and hear the town square if they choose. Everyone can open their window and hear what is being said.

They can also speak into it — in their own ways — and be heard by people in the square and in other buildings.

They can also close the window (or have their window boarded up) and only talk inside their own building, or only to their colleagues, or their friends.
