/u/fschmidt blocked me on at least one occasion so I don't know if he can even read this. It's more than ironic he want's free speech yet has blocked me.

Obviously SaidIt is not a reliable free speech site, and I don't know of any others.

What are your problems with SaidIt? Don't be ambiguous and don't overwhelm with details. Are they technical (besides SaidIt being a ticking time bomb with old code that will eventually no longer be supported) or is it the social management system - or something else?

/s/PhoenixForum is for planning and dreaming of what idealistically could be.

/s/Cassy is for evolving past SaidIt with what exists now.

Lemmy is limited and simpler than SaidIt, solid and generally good otherwise. (The built-in censorship is not difficult to suppress.) Lemmy requires being in Docker which is problematic for setting up a proxy server to deal with STABs and DDoS attacks. Lemmy's best feature is federated decentralization (with all the pros and cons that entails), meaning anyone may set it up, at home, work, in the cloud, or wherever. We don't want those places under attack so we want to get a defensive proxy server to reroute and hide our actual IP address. If you can code a solution for the proxy issues then we'll be up and running in no time.

If you want to throw money at me I will itemize every single expense, transparently, as with all other donations and support. This has always been the plan. I can find local admins and/or coders that we can all vet together (you, me, Cassandra Team). We can set up some servers with UPS on fiber in various places around my city, mirror them, and develop templates and invite other people to do likewise. TruthSeeker.Party (Lemmy), Projex.Wiki (MediaWiki), and Volun.Tube (PeerTube) are already in the works, slowly. All of this and much more has been underway for a while.

I think blocking people is a form of free speech, if I block you I should have that right but doing that doesn't keep other people from seeing your posts.

That is exactly how it should work on the internet. Nobody gets censored by some albatross that has no brains or nuance, you are censoring yourself.

Lazy. Ignore works just as well.

then you still have to see their posts and their bad ideas sift into your subconscious. It'd be cool if we could "block" the MSM of course you can try to ignore it but it will be impossible to forego it 100%.

    The irony is thick, like a block.

    Don't be ambiguous and don't overwhelm with details.

    ha!
