I've warned about the blatantly obvious ways to ruin the saidit for over a year and the reply from mangnora has always been that we should trust our fellow users.

Today we have racist and pedo content for miles.

As much as I want to believe in saidit, and personally like what the admins are trying to achieve, I don't have faith in the way they're going about it.

I've set up my own federation based social network where I'm free to toss out whoever is trying to ruin the experience.

Everybody should check out Softaculous and HubZilla. We're in the age of "7-clicks-on-a-web-page" to install your own social network that can connect with the millions of users on The Federation.

The future is simply making your own stuff, not following stupid decisions because its too hard to create an alternative.

I agree that decentralization & federation are the future. Relying on any centralized service is bound to fail at some point in the future.

Heck, reddit started out as a free speech platform and look what it's become today. I also posted on early Voat, which started out great but devolved in a different way (which may have been a planned and organized attack).

As for federated services, have you looked into prismo and lemmy? I'm thinking of starting a lemmy instance once it leaves beta.
