- PaulHoule 6y agoA paid listening service that I control that stops the harassment, electronic warfare and spamming and propaganda. My phone rings off the hook with people who want to rip me off or hurt me or my community. That cancels the guy who staged riots at small schools, got sleepwalking boomers who never heard him speak think that he had something to say, staged riots at big schools, then tried to stage a riot at CPAC and got canceled by conservatives because he was planning to stage a riot there. Many people today think "free speech" means having the right to destroy the fire alarm in a burning theater, to tell people there is no fire, to force people back into their seats. Let's make them go away, as well as the people who spam the political agenda with crap (e.g. rich people are hurting so bad out here man i know you cut our taxes five minutes ago but we need a tax cut again right here and now...) That will truly give power to individuals.
- silentsea90 6y agoBoth of you want freedom - to speak and to choose what to hear, so you're more alike than one might think :)
- arkanciscan 6y agoWhat kind of power are you hoping to gain? Power to say anything you want, or power to prevent abuse. I don't think you can have both.
- h0p3 6y agoI appreciate your willingness to reason carefully about this problem. I may not understand your point, so please walk me through it, if you have the time and energy to teach a young man. At the very least, would you agree it is possible to have a context where anyone can say what they want (perhaps something we all infrastructurally support and protect) while also having other contexts in which each user controls who their moderators and search/feed signalers will be? Isn't it worthwhile to work for both?
- arkanciscan 6y agoAnyone can say anything they want? What if I want to say what your address is and when you are home, and which of your doors is easiest to force open? Even if you had the ability to hide this content from yourself, wouldn't you prefer to hide it from those who would like to use it to harm you?

- CMCDragonkai 6y ago> A free speech service that is serverless and unable to be shut down. That will truly give power to individual people. When speech is free, speech becomes worthless. Worthy things cost.
- mbrodersen 6y agoThe history of "total freedom" free speech services show that it will never work. Total anarchy doesn't give you freedom.
