I had a lot of fun last night cruzing the fediverse on free speech extremist .

We’ve kinda built up a name brand here at wolf balls. Launching and keeping a instance up reliably for over three months with basically less than 5 minutes total downtime.

People don’t yet know how to use the fediverse. I feel like my marketing skills have grown after creating the character master of balls for videos.

This would be an easy expansion for us. I can use the same postgres instance. And market another technology.

What would you guys like to see on a twitter/gab like clone?

Even less censorship ? We could probably allow straight awful shit to be posted and not blacklist it seeing as it’s personal timeline content and users can block users.

Gab doesn’t fulfill my needs because its a walled off garden and it’s UI kinda sucks.

I don’t really trust other instances like free speech extremist. I don’t know if they will be here tomorrow.

What do you guys think?

Probably gonna do it anyways but I’m looking for input from users here to what they would actually use.

    Quite an essay, but “vetting” seems the perfect way of undermining the very thing you claim to be wanting to protect. It’s not a ruse that many would fall for or indulge.

      I see the opposite. You have to earn the right to have free speech.

      And no ruse. If you want to talk about normal shit, then nothing changes. But if you want to do more, then subscribe (helps keep riff-raff out), undergo background checks to make sure you are worthy of free speech and don’t want to take ours, etc. And surely there has to be a way to do it equally to not get complaints. I’d propose maybe some AI to get to learn the people who participate and see who would benefit from the other places. However, it would have to be manually approved since bots can miss sarcasm, subtleties, trolling, etc.
