Thanks for asking.

You are right to be in doubt. Despite both meaning well, M7 has proven himself a liar on occasion and TAM is unreliable on a few levels.

I don't think I'm out of line repeating what d3rr shared with me, in summary: M7 forgot to pay the bill. Typically I don't like sharing private details but the content and the source are important and credible.

https://GetSession.org to join the chat for developing the next step, though there's not much happening there now. Regardless, hang tight a little longer. Stay tuned to /s/Cassy and /s/PhoenixForum for new stuff. I haven't been good with Linux since 1998 and I have very limited means, but we're trying out some stuff, painfully. That's why I've been quiet/busy. If I can set up an old home indie server, anyone can.

You are one of the good ones, so I hope you'll weigh in when we start posting stuff in /s/Cassy regarding how we want to branch out as a community. There's so much more to discuss than just technical stuff. I can't speak for everyone, but personally I don't want SaidIt to fail nor flounder, even when we evolve - and I think SaidIt still has a strong central role to play. It is what it is, with strengths and weaknesses, to be respected and learned from. We're still all on the side of resistance to tyranny.

Thanks for the information.

Sounds plausible. I'm going to go ahead and trust you and d3rr on it.

I've followed. Thanks for the recommendation. I've been chatting both with online groups and some of my IRL friends about the desperate need for a truly decentralized ranked choice reddit/saidit style platform. Glad to see something is in the works. I'm going to follow it closely. Seems like it will need to be guided by people that truly believe in the idea and then people willing to sever the cord so to speak and let it truly grow independently. If the original team that designs it allows too many backdoors or could become a future vector of subversion/takedown. Seems like a successful 'cassy' would need to be anti-fragile in it's design parameters and the initial community will need to have an antifragile philosophy as intelligence services, government, companies, trolls, and bad actors attempt to subvert or destroy her in cradle. I wish you luck on the project and will do what I can to support you! I think that if the core design makes sense you will probably be inundated with anon donors quite quickly...

My frustrations with my old tech has me on the verge of shouting out for funding assistance for a newer server. I'm not anon, nor a systems IT guy, but I can host the first instance of our federation for testing and for others to join. I understand why many chose to be anon and we need to accept, embrace, and utilize them. So part of our goals are to have ways for anon folks to also participate, securely for all involved.
