Look Joseph,
 
I'm not asking for any money. I'm not in it for the money. Money would be nice so I could do this all day every day. But i'm really just doing this because reddit, facebook, twitter all deleted my memes.
 
The code is free. Participating in a federated network doesn't give me any money. I want this and other social networks to succeed. The more time you spend on here the less time and money you give FANG companies.
 
I don't have stock i'm selling.
 
I have to go do work. I hope our conversation could help convince other's of the benefits of a federated social network. And perhaps Admin can either migrate to an existing social federated platform or build in federation to this one.
 
You have a good day.

I can mine your data in the web browser.

The apps are open source. You can look at the code and remove anything you don't want. Or build your own app. Everything is open source and out in the open.

The source code of this site isn't out in the open.

I was open and transparent about that whole process. Half my user base was asking for down votes to be removed. It was a test run of a requested feature.

One I reversed.

If you want a site admin who gets everything perfect the first try don't use wolfballs.

Now as for your comment on decentralization its a little hard to explain. So, for yours and others entertainment I have made a video that explains it clearly.

https://odysee.com/@wolfballs:c/decentralization

In short the more people who host instances the more decentralized it becomes. Just like the more people you CC on a email the harder it is to hide the existents of that email after you send it.

I am fighting for the right of all mankind to not be censored.

One or two deleted edge lord post on the journey doesn't change that.

I would like yours and others help.

Convince this site admin of its benefits. And any other site you use.

I can't make everyone happy but we can build a federated world where big tech can't silence whole sections of the population.

After this the fight must go to defeating centralized government digital currencies.

A smart phone app can indeed access a decentralized server.

I'm not sure what you are getting at?

That explains it fine. That was temporary. Downvotes have been back a long time.

Doesn't matter if it was me. The point demonstrates exactly what @AreteIJ is complaining about.
 
Vote manipulation is exactly what I was fixing on my instance. You taking action is the exact same thing I was doing.
 
You can just fork another code base and then it becomes your independent project.
 
Atleast I would take a look at lemmy and lotide's code base to see how they federate and consider working towards it. It is a open protocol.
 
If everyone is off making their own thing it's not likely to get anyone any good traction.
 
If everyone who is dissatisfied with big tech agrees on a open protocol we can disagree on politics but work toward a future where big tech can't tell any of us shit.
 
 
You also get the whole ecosystem. Like smart phone apps for free.
 
Good look either way, I'll go preach the fedigospel to the next forum that pops up.

None of what you said is accurate. Even if it is true has nothing to do with what i'm saying. I'll correct it non the less.
 
> To sum it up, you removed posts based on slur usage.
 
I can remove any post in my communities just like you can remove any post in your communities. If someone post in one of the communities I mod and I don't like it I remove it. This place, scored is the same way.
 
> You fucked with votes based on your view of "brigade"
 
Some guy literally made a bot to downvote anything. Look at this post. The admin here already adjusted votes based on what he thought was a "brigade" Look at the blue votes.
 
After the brigade was over I removed the downvote ban. Votes work as normal now. Even federated.
 
> based on 30-day inactivity period
 
This was a requested feature. People want communities that are being sit on. If you don't want it taken you just have to ask for it.
 
> What is it about power hungry admins with such urge to exercise their powers at will? They merely have to maintain the site, without interfering with user affairs, unless well-defined rules are crossed. Is it because the Precious was doing the magic?
 
You have to understand, because the user's and the admins have different universal perspectives there will always exist disagreements.
 
By using federation a user can switch instances to continue their discussion.
 
Federation reduces the admin's power. I'm trying to explain a technical solution to your problem and you are complaining that I deleted one of your post in my communities where you called me and everyone there a nigger.
 
I don't want shitty users that say kike or nigger every three words like what sounds like yourself.
 
I'm coming here to suggest arete participate in the fediverse. I will guide the admin if he wants. Give technical advise and walk him through the installation. I want you to stay here. I want discussions like what takes place at consume product to be somewhere not my instance.
 
I don't care if you don't like my admin policies. This is literally the shit hole of the internet. You belong here.
 
I'm suggesting the admin just take actions that will address your concerns in the future.
 
Get it?

Yes by design. You need to learn how to explore multiple instances.
 
Checkout poa.st and freespeechextremist.com and how they federate with each other.
 
Wolfballs works the same way.

Racial slurs have never been banned. On my instance I had a rule that slurs were not allowed in the community name. That's to reduce low quality spam. I now instead label those communities offensive instead.

That has nothing to to with what I'm saying.

Federated technology is a solid way to avoid censorship.

Let's say arête network changes to a federated platform. You get on wolfballs and troll so hard and piss the Admins off so hard that they delete your post.

If that community is federating with arête then the post will still exist on this site.

You will always find something a admin will delete if you troll hard enough.

By federating you take the power away from any single admin.

Do you get it now ?

I don't want wolfballs to be full of anti Jewish stuff that will get the banks to ban it.

I would love for all that type of discussion to take place here or elsewhere.

Then we could share a common interest community like farming or hunting.

I'm not asking you to come to wolfballs I'm asking arête to consider using and building off an existing federated code base.

I removed it and then the lemmy devs contacted me and said they would remove it and I should contribute good code modifications back to their code base.
 
They want the project to be non political. Instances can be political. They have approved and merged my pull request even though I will never call a man a women.
 
I just don't understand why build a whole new platform that isn't as good when you can just use a better platform that supports federation and build on that? It's supper easy to deploy and work with. I will walk any willing person through it.
 
Federation insures that you can't be censored. If a post is federated and a admin deletes it it still exist on another instance.
 
By building separate platforms you cut the community into pieces.
 
If we can get everyone to agree on a few federated platforms that work together we can be a formidable force to big tech.
 
I don't like all the content here or consume product but I want you to succeed. I want to see big tech fail.
 
Using federation we can make that happen. And your platform will start out with potentially thousands of users. The entire mastodon network can comment on lemmy and lotide instances.

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
