I started a forum!

It's called the Decentralizers Forum. It's about how and why to decentralize social media and other content. Open to all.

Over 100 accounts made so far, including people with major skills, deep pockets, and big platforms...

Basically, we need to get on the same page and create a free, open, but decentralized system for sharing our social media content. Existing systems are OK, but they need to be made interoperable. Let's discuss how, why, when, who, etc.
JOIN and RETWEET, especially if you are (1) a skilled developer, (2) a funder, (3) an expert at any part of this.
Once again see this post for one introduction to the concepts:

Update: we're up to 139 members, 89 posts, lots of interesting insights.

PLEASE JOIN ME! ONLINE PARTY! RT!

I want to invite everyone who wants to discuss decentralized communities to the new LarrySanger.org Forum:

larrysanger.org/community/

I installed it just this evening. We'll try it out.
The kind of concept we're going to be exploring is explained here:

Let me know ASAP if you have any trouble using the forum. I just set it up so I might need to configure things still.

Wow, will I have an account tomorrow? My follower count has dropped from 39.3K to 38.4K now, a loss of 900 followers. Moreover, I'm following 25 fewer accounts—in other words, that many people I was following were deleted.

They really think they're doing their business good?
See this search. Interesting stuff:

Now I’m down to 37K followers. 2.3K deleted. About 6% of my followers, gone.

Let me tell you about Joshua, a Good Man to be found all over the world, and admired wherever he is found. He is not unique to Christianity, or Hinduism, or Chinese culture. Do you agree? See what you think.

2/ We say he is a good man. To say so in general is to say that he supports and preserves life wherever it is found. This is the essence of good action...
3/ Joshua’s actions toward others flow from a sense of benevolence, even love. His actions generally exhibit kindness...particularly helping those who are in need and in danger. That makes some sense, I hope. After all, those who who have plenty and are safe do not need his help.

According to nearly 2/3 of my extended tweep network, Christians have up to five years before Western countries start seriously declaring the cross or the Bible as a "hate symbol."
It would begin in the universities. UW-La Crosse in 2016 had one student report a Campus Crusade for Christ poster with an image of a cross as a sign of "oppression and hate of the LGBT+ community." Isn't reporting the cross itself religious hatred?

Count on a Guardian columnist to point out that, for some Jews (he says simply "Jews"), "the cross is a symbol of oppression."
