    They should’ve just declared bankruptcy and reformed a new media organization, then pre emptively sued thiel with their own slaap suits.

    Why does no one hit these epstein level billionaires back with lawsuits? We should be burying them. We should’ve been fundraising to sponsor lawsuits for people they have cheated, the president for his contractors he hasn’t paid for instance, those that haven’t already settled after he sued them after cheating them. Thiel likewise. We could have bake sales, we could sponsor events, like runs, 20 dollars for a local race to go to suing these guys for real perversions of justice. There are a lot of possibilities.

    We need our own forums, social media is hooked by these people, so they would shut that stuff down if tried now. We need new federated social media, with clear and fair enforcement of rules, both in the instances and the main forum(s) such as appeals that culminate in jury trials of members of that instance/forum for violations.

    Because with a fair enforcement system we would get the exodus from social media and get critical mass, as social media is selling out to the administration more every day, confident that people have no where else to go. In fact homeland security has sent a raft of "administrative subpoenas to social media, fb, twitter, reddit, for details on people critical of ICE, CBP, etc., for personal details on the users, and reddit and the rest said they mostly complied. Not seemingly telling the users so it can be challenged.

    Social media gave up, they gave us up. We have no where else to go and will be locked down in a rigged system. Let’s make them wrong about that.

      I’m still on discord, but that is because the main community I’m on it for is still trying to figure out what alternative to move to.

        For real. I’ve provided a matrix instance for people to test to see if it suits their needs and to stress test it to make sure it’s reliable at the scale we need. So far it’s been great for two of us but I’m afraid the rest are all going to join at the same time, the server won’t be able to handle the number of people doing voice and video chats and then they’ll hate the whole thing. Other thing they might do is join the main Matrix instance and see how slow it is. That’s almost worse.

        I’m sorry, you didn’t ask for all this info. You said a thing and it made me want to get some stuff off my chest. I almost posted more but deleted it. Then I wrote more and deleted that. I’m just gonna stop now but I feel better now that I’ve typed some things at a stranger on the internet that I agree with. It’s almost like a virtual hug. Hope you felt it too 😄

        Yeah, I’ve been drinking. It’s Friday somewhere.

                What was the main problem that eventually made everyone move from it ? I remember back in my teen days it was Teamspeak, Skype and IRC. Somehow I got by with mostly Skype so don’t have much experience with it.

                IRC has no support for rich media, voice or video calls, and if you want offline message receipt you need to roll your own solution, of which there are billions.

                  Look none of us like Peter Thiel but him being an investor in a company used by discord is barely a story

                  The bigger story here IMO is that discord may be trying to move away from their home grown easily circumvented system, so get verified while you still can without compromising yourself.

                      Fucking obviously duh, of course it does.

                      Why does anybody give any kind of benefit of doubt to the class of wealthy rapists that run society and most of its institutions?

                      They’re rapists.

                      They’ll rape your money, your data, your attention, your energy, your time, anything they can either groom you into letting them take, or just take it by force.

                      And/or, if you’re ‘lucky’, they’ll just literally rape you physically.

                      These people are all violent sociopaths and need to be either euthanized or quarantined from society.

                      Imagine SexPestiny.

                      There ya go, thats all of these goddamned people.

                      Machiavellian, manipulative, beyond amoral into just actually evil, not actually very smart, they just happen to have money.

                                      No wonder they just keep trying to fuck us, a whole bunch of people are on their knees with their mouths open.

                                          And everyone please stop using it as a forum for the love of God. I have no use for discord as a platform, but every damn FOSS program asking me to go there for troubleshooting is insanity.
