You are not alone.

The question is, what are we going to do about it?

Telling people how the monetary policy allows for these people to print money to buy people out of their best interests.

In many ways a bunch of atomized forums is a better way to go than a centralized one. It sucks from a UX perspective, but it’s more censorship resistant.

My hope is that SaidIt or some other site adopts decentralization / p2p tech so you can get both a consistent UI and the benefits of decentralization.

The federated mastodon system has merits.. however I'm not a fan of that twitter style of communicating. A federated reddit/digg/slashdot/saidit/ruqqus would be pretty awesome.

Get them classified as a porn sub so they get covered on every parental lock.

Cut off their supply of new blood.

We make saidit the greatest and let reddit go die in the grave it dug for itself. Fucking corporate assholes censoring freedom of speech mother fuckers.

Decentralization is the only way.
