All boards

A federated decentralized discussion board with reddit like functionality. Censorship resistant by design.

The maker of wolfballs even said he would personally help anyone set up their own instance for free that can federate with his.

Perhaps the arête network might consider running on a federated codebase such as Lemmy or lotide and work together to insure their users aren't censored

Set restrictions on Centralization of Power.
 
Also, limit the Centralization of Force.
 
A Standing army, like a standing police force, and a standing State,.. all are to be opposed.
 
The Founders had the right idea in limiting the Power of the State, but the involvement of big Money in politics took us away from a small State.
 
There should be a type of Rollback mechanism in the Constitution of a Republic.
 
If the lever is pulled, the State would be rolled back to absolute necessities.
 
Or the lever could be a cessation of personal taxation, that would roll back the State.

We are simplifying things every day.
  
We have been blessed to come together, a few of the Arete, among the Lemmings.
  
Do not expect Areteness from many, test one long and hard before you label him as Arete.
  
But , we cannot only collect the Arete, we need many more Lemmings than Arete.
  
Whereas many Political movements gather around 1 leader, and all others follow, we will establish a multi-tier system of leadership, and anonymity in leadership as well.
  
The best model of Leadership was established by the Linux Foundation. Access rights, and absolute Meritocracy.
  
Though those at the top must earn the same way that those at the bottom earn, and any may earn as much as they please, by creating their own business.
  
You cannot tie material wealth to Leadership.
Nor Fame, or favors.
  
There must be a single Vision, from a single Man leading a Society, but that man should not act alone, he should gather around him a small, dedicated, honest, humble, and intelligent group of leaders.
  
The group should decide as a group, but the tiebreaker always belongs to the Linus. Also, vetos. The Linus may also make decisions without consulting any at all.
  
  
See the ParSoc is Totalitarian. However, it is also voluntary. A dictator is necessary, but it is impossible to secure a long line of BDFL, therefore the Plebs must have the Natural ability to Walk away, and renounce the State, or Society.
  
Voluntarism is the Watchman of the Watchmen.
  
Do you see?
  
What power do the People have over the State today, the Illegitimate state has a Monopoly on Violence.
  
Someone must at times deal with Violence, but not in distortion of Taxation, or fake legislation.
  
The people are only responsible for a single Law.
  
The Law of Ahimsa.
  
Not Pacifism, not Libertarianism. Just Violence.
If someone violates the Safety of another, than Justice is required, but for the rest ... any one is free to live as they wish.
  
No Loicenses.
No Signatures
No Contracts.
No Taxation.
No Usury.
No Property Taxes
No Fees
No Censorship
No Surveillance
  
The person may completely opt-out of all, except for the rights of other individuals.
  
This Opt-out policy, makes the leaders seek the benefit of the Plebs.
  
Having a zero formal Democracy system, the people may advise, and give their own reviews... But their only Vote is in participation.
  
Opt-out today, Opt-in tomorrow. No Problem.
Banished today, and also tomorrow.
This is a two-way voluntary relationship.
  
So, the people must try and remain Natural, or else they may lose many perks, opportunities, and even luxuries.
