I saw you posted this info a few places around reddit to help spread the word, much appreciated

For sure bro. If this place is the real deal like you say, I'm really going to enjoy seeing it grow and see what it can become. Happy to be a part of it.

Hopefully more people take the minimal effort to do the same! : )

I know that you guys are exploring alternative decentralized web solutions.

Have you considered decentralized direction? ie. Worker directed enterprises aka worker coops are democratic work places where the workers vote on how it's run. Managers are there to organize things but the workers can actually fire the managers, counter to typical hierarchies.

First. I don't want to fire anyone. Second, I don't want to direct anyone. Third, I want folks to think for themselves. Fourth, personally I think this is still far too small an operation to do anything remotely like this - yet. Fifth, people will prove themselves over time, and while I like making suggestions, I want nothing to do with managing any site, even if I "prove myself over time". Meaning others who are worthy will make themselves known to you, should you choose to somehow delegate "stuff". Sixth, this worker coop concept would be something to discuss from now until ages down the line when it actually seem appropriate to decentralize direction/management to keep it from somehow being taken over by financial buyouts/takeovers, censorship, infiltrators of the establishment, or by outright democratic numbers of real sheeple and/or fake bots. Seventh, I'm going to stop this stupid counting.

For information on setting worker cooperatives, you might want to contact Richard Wolff's organization ( https://www.democracyatwork.info/ ) because they're trying to spread their alternative solutions and/or watch his videos ( https://www.youtube.com/user/democracyatwrk/videos ) for more insights.

If you do choose to contact them or some other solutions you like, I'd love to hear about them. Running a factory is one thing. Running a social media platform is another. And using decentralized web alternatives is a whole other. Maybe SaidIt would be their first such scenario or maybe they've got other examples to stand on their shoulders. Maybe you invite them to join SaidIt and create a D@W threat or few.

If only there was a social media forum for discussions of this nature...
