I've noticed a pattern that I hope I'm wrong about. Reading these pages at GAW, I am constantly looking for hope, some evidence of somebody doing something forward looking. I am not able to find it. I asked a question in another thread whether anybody on this planet is developing a trustworthy voting system. Crickets. One bot showed up and told me we have lost nothing, and losing the ability to have fair elections won't amount to anything. So far not a soul has contributed to that thread and provided any examples of voting systems being developed. That's the pattern. Complain all you want, wallow in the mud like a depressed pig, but don't you dare talk about anything that would change the status quo peacefully.
So talking about how bad things are is totally acceptable, but making any mention of peacefully changing that in any effective way is verboten. Change my mind.
so what have you done to effect positive change in your actual community? have you researched voting systems outside of this community? who is developing voting systems for the world? is the GAW world responsible for coming up with these solutions? maybe this is NOT the community for you, maybe it is. one thing for sure, we are surrounded by people that wish to destroy us, one way or another. we really dont have the room for people looking to destroy us from with in. keep in mind while posting here, we are being watched, by those that wish us harm, so they will use any hint of violent action as an excuse to shut us down or arrest us. just look at how they are treating the Jan6 protestors. what ever you decide in the future, I and many of us, wish you the best. sorry you feel despondent over what has been happening to all of us. a0nd sorry we cannot solve these problems for you.
I will presume you're not just trying to undercut my position but that you actually would like to hear my answers.
I have put thousands of dollars out of pocket toward my own internet projects that can address some of the issues I've discussed.
Yes, I have done research on existing projects. I believe an auditable system, sufficiently transparent with a checksum blockchain based backup would be something we can trust.
I don't believe it's the job of GAW to create such a system, but it is our job to identify and promote anything that looks promising. We can make the critical difference by drawing attention to fundraising for such projects.
Contrary to your inference, I have at no time suggested something violent.
I don't know, maybe GAW has already been neutered.
pretty much has been neutered from the start, what with federal services monitoring all the dot win communities. the violence thing is something most of us should consider when posting as anything that can be misconstrued or hinting towards violence, could be used against us, individually and as a community. I mention it more as a warning to others than yourself. would be interested in hearing more about your own internet projects.
You're wise my fren. If you think this site is not being monitored you'd be wrong. I would also suggest that the same people that monitor this site, make post specifically to see how this community reacts so they can further their analytical measurements to serve their purpose.

Remember VOAT. Take a look at how they analyzed VOAT, and what their conclusions were in order to control us. From below link you can access the dataset: https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.05933
