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.
doubt many people would sign up for it, but someone could try it
True, but I’d be more concerned about quality than quantity. To me, having millions of users to have a large segment of them wanting to take the country or the site down the crapper is not the way to go.
I was meaning background checks more in terms of specific types of comments/posts. There are decent Patriots out there who are not interested in violence. If you don’t have a way to cull out disruptors, agitators, and plants, then you can’t have a place for the Patriots since the outsiders would infiltrate and try to frame all Patriots as bad. So if one wanted even a pro-white (not white supremacist, Nazi, white nationalist, or white separatism) space, opponents will try to find a way to bring it down. So if you have a place for even healthy “white pride,” it might be wise to find a way to vet them. So if anyone has weapons charges, aggravated assault charges, discon charges without a good explanation, etc., they probably should not be allowed into such a space. And even the other details about crimes would be helpful. If they were charged with disorderly conduct and were a part of some known radical group while charged, I wouldn’t want them on my site, and particularly not in places that go against their ideology. And some states have felony disorderly conduct laws that include disrupting burial services, religious services or interfering with reproductive health services, etc. So don’t want folks who start anti-gay or race riots at funerals.
I’m still mostly spitballing and thinking.
