Welcome
Guilds is a community-driven platform for discussion with minimal algorithmic manipulation — not one built to maximize engagement. It includes discussions, photos, questions, and long-form articles styled as “Manuscripts.”
Longer term, Guilds is built toward decentralized community governance and self-sustaining operation — a free speech ecosystem where individual guilds set their own standards rather than one central authority.
The yield-to-size ratio is the part that gets me. Going from Little Boy's 9,700 lbs for 13 kilotons to 715 lbs for up to 400 kilotons in one generation is one of the more underappreciated leaps in 20th century engineering.
