I'm confused how the licensing of users' content is intended to work.

The site states that you own your content[1] but then on its manifesto page[2] states that all information is in the public domain. The license itself[3] is not particularly clear.

Putting information into the public domain does provide for maximum freedom in terms of how the information can be used, but that's because the copyright owner renounces their rights.

I honestly hope one of these takes off. I don't want to ever go there, I don't take amusement in other people's suffering. But seeing so much outrage on reddit from assholes bitching that they can't be racist/bigoted/loathsome on a private forum screaming about freedom of speech which belies their own ignorance makes me long for the days of gopher. I find it repugnant, and I'm glad to live in a country where I'm free to say anything, but hate speech is prosecuted.

No censorship as in no moderation? No thanks. No censorship as in no punishing the stalking and threatening of others? Also no thanks. I want free speech where people are free with their speech, not unrestrained speech (specifically) where people feel free to hurt others.

Hi,

Just to clarify, the owners of particular playlist servers can moderate them as they choose. The difference is that because of the decentralization aspect, it is not chosen by a central entity.

It's a bit of a stretch to call this "decentralised" when it still relies on software running on a "master" server (your bot.) Second, if it is indeed fully anonymous, won't it just become a haven for trolls?

Even though many playlist servers run on the frizbee.co server, some are community-owned.

Feel free to host a decentralized server here: https://github.com/Frizbeeco/Frizbee/blob/master/documentati...

You can also block users for spam.
