#2Interesting. Have you heard of Aether though? It seems a lot simpler, but achieving the same result. It's a flood network, I believe.

#3Empty repo.

#4In a tolerant society, should we tolerate intolerance? I am genuinely interested to hear your thoughts.

#5"You see, freedom of speech and expression must be absolute."
This is a very ignorant take on freedom of speech and a terrible foundation for your project.

#6"You see, freedom of speech and expression must be absolute."
That's pretty extreme. First, freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence of speech.
And second, freedom of speech only applies to public forums. Why would a private enterprise need to put up with someone spreading vitriol and fake news?
Let's say I own a mall, and you rent a store in that mall. You suddenly decide that you are going to start selling Nazi merch and incite people to riot in my mall.
Why am I a "cancel culture SJW" if I kick you out of my mall?

We should tolerate all speech. That doesn't mean you can't scream and call it hate speech, but do so from your own platform.

#8> There is a huge misunderstanding, Pepe the Frog has always been a symbol of resistance in underground culture, it was journalists who decided it was evil without understanding a damn thing.
It’s not a symbol of resistance. It’s a glum-looking frog. That’s it.
Also this forum doesn’t seem to allow for identifying oneself which precludes it from competing with Parler/Twitter. At best, it can compete with 4ch/8kun but those serve their (admittedly limited) purpose quite well with few complaints these days.

#9Parler is a shit hole, and at this point I’m not sure we need another social network anything. The major ones do a lousy job of policing fake news and misinformation, and from your tone it sounds like you support that garbage.
I’m pretty sure giving every moron on earth a globally-accessible soapbox is about the stupidest idea humankind has ever had.

#10Will it prevent blocking others from replying to counter irrational, unreasonable thinking - or say, if someone's promoting violence - can others be able to comment to try to quell, calm the anger - or will individuals be able to censor whomever they like which is arguably as bad as deplatforming?
