    Hm I thought we were going somewhere. Whether or not I support Mao is besides the point. The point is that we both seem to think it’s good that in that system, people could choose their own generals. Not to mention you’ve poured your heart and soul into developing an incredible federated software that defies central control. I know why I like that, but I’m confused as to why you would.

    I’m not some pure-blooded anarchist. I don’t strictly adhere to one ideology. I don’t think anyone should.

      I don’t see this, or any federated service as anti-authoritarian. I see it as increasing the authority and power of normal people at the expense of corporate / capitalist authority. We must own our own tools, media, news, and communications platforms, and use the power and authority these tools give us to moderate and curate content according to what we think is appropriate, rather than pushing pro-capitalist and western-supremacist narratives that inundate the english-speaking media landscape.
