Decentralize SaidIt

/u/magnora7, /u/d3rr, etc.,

What can we do to help make this happen?

If it means create more proxy sites (or whatever you call them), is there any chance you can create tutorial sub for non-coders that covers all the bases from start to federated backup?

Saidit looks like a basket case. They don't allow mods to moderate and they are too lazy to work to avoid censorship.

If I do finance this, I will make sure that it is federated.

A "basket case" compared to what? Do you have an ideal

They don't allow mods to moderate and they are too lazy to work to avoid censorship.

Do you have evidence to support this claim?

You should probably hurry up and finance your own federated version.

It will take some time to build up the user base.

Best of luck with that.

I don't expect this to be profitable anytime soon, so I would finance this as a kind of charity, so no rush.

I'd guess the rush is to beat the censorship and to build a base to speak truth about power while still somewhat effective, etc. After the totalitarians have everything locked down there's no point in creating a freedom app for a handful of people locked out of the system.

If Biden wins then America is finished. And that would happen before anything can be developed.

But the point is that a good distributed system will win in the end regardless of how long it takes. So no rush, let's get this right. I will decide how to go forward this week.
