Should public #libraries be defunded if they operate in an exclusive way? For example, suppose a #library offers Wi-Fi exclusively to demographics of people who carry a mobile phone by forcing an SMS-verified captive portal, and they have no day pass or alternative way for people without phones to access Wi-Fi. Yet they receive public money despite the exclusion. Should the be defunded? @[email protected] @[email protected] #poll #askfedi [ ] yes, public money should only fund inclusive svcs [ ] no, it’s okay for public svcs to exclude some ppl

    That’s the topic of discussion at hand.

    When you say “we are at 2”, you make it sound like the royal “we” as a society. So it’s not the right language for what you were trying to express. The correct pronoun would be “they”. Some libraries are inclusive and some are not. The exclusive ones are at #2.

    BTW- this necropost is due to Beehaw being unreachable for 4 months. I finally got back in today to see your msg.
