FreeRepublic should be safe!

After Parler was shut down i've heard many people say that FreeRepublic could also be targeted especially under the Democrats.

I've been thinking about it and I reckon FR should be safe...

Here's why:

1) FR is a News/Links/Discussion site. It's NOT some massive social media platform.

2) FR is Moderated. Trolls and troublemakers are booted and the site complies with the law (copyright, etc)

3) Jim has been in this game for over 20 YEARS. He knows what it takes to keep the site online.

That said we have no idea what the Dems have in store.

I don't like the sound of this "domestic terror" law they're talking about and it could be too easy to take an isolated post on here and perversely label it 'terrorism' (under an expanded definition).

Any assault on the First Amendment will be met with massive legal action and I will be happy to donate to a legal fund if FR needs it or indeed any other site..

So while the Democrats want to eliminate opposition and clamp down on free speech I think FR will be able to weather the storm and prevail!

Thoughts?

You don't serious this will protect you, do you?

I have known of this platform pretty much from the start.

Decentralization is the core of local, regional and global comms.

They have got the tor system maybe working ok though if you don’t run windows but some armf product it still has issues that need ironing out.

Small boards like pi3 slow, and pi4 faster are the perfect solution though I have not gone through many OS systems to see which OS is better to use with it.

Is summary the software is open source and is available to be downloaded and rebuilt as you like at code level. Makes checking and tweaking the program do much easier.

It is tls encrypted but ssh is being worked on

There is no Central cloud storage node... Everyone is part of the program, cell and tablet care limited in data storage but for chat only it’s great.

PC and Pi can spin up and become shared data hubs for all,

My reply is getting long. Typical.

It’s great .

WARNING, IT IS NOT PC, IT IS WILD WEST AND IS NOT SAFE FOR KIDS TO BE ON.

if we want comms. Then take this software and build a global comms net.

Simple as watering the flowers in the garden.

🤣 Thanks... You've just demonstrated / proven what the expression "total blindness due to the head being up the nether regions" means...

Apparently you have not been keeping track of all the things that you are not allowed to say or think over these past couple of decades...

Politics is rosy for those who live & sleep in Sleepy Hollow, PA...
You get today's Ichabod Crane award...
