  1. I'll just put this here for the #record in case anyone wants to #question me about it later.

    I #donated with #BitCoin back in January to #AnnasArchive and now the site's knocked #offline literally.

    I paid like C$120.00 for the online form of the #project just to disappear.

    Yeah ok #wikipedia has them moving #domains every other day but it was a lot more stable than that before I gave them a leg up.

    This is why I hate centralized #websites and hosting.

    This is why #self #hosting works by connecting #dedicated #servers to the #internet as a whole.

    If you use anything less, you will face more #legal challenges hosting #human #knowledge and unfortunately, it is as #simple as that.

    You cannot convince me that #BigTech is not turning into #authorized #tech as it seems as though the #copyright #industry and the #torent industry has eluded to colluding with one another to obtain #rights for.

    Guys, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm a huge fan of #books and #media and #free #open #source #software and I long for the day that the #government doesn't need to get a cut of everything I #download or #upload anywhere, especially for #personal #use over all.

    Please do whatever you can to fight #statistical #bottlenecks where ever they appear. I want humanity to have better access to #education and #intelligence built by real people in a fair and consistent manner.

    I always am striving and trying my best to be a better #human being.

    One of the problems we had at #Wikimedia is they went back and deleted all our Fediverse icon work for no real. Reason #Wikimedia blocked us from publishing #ccZero Fedi #iconography, Fediverse buttons for #websites, #stickers and other fedi #designs we #donated our time towards in Jan/Feb.

    They shifted goalposts about five or six times, then went back and actively #purged a few weeks later when they thought we wouldn't notice.

    We realise you're just posting innocuously, but no. FYI #Wikimedia blocked us from publishing #ccZero #Fediverse #iconography, buttons for #websites, #stickers and other #designs we #donated our time towards in Jan/Feb.

    They shifted goalposts about five or six times. Then went back and #purged.

    As proponents for true digital freedom, less centralisation and more diversity, #Wikipedia is *not* our friend. They militantly #RestrictTheFrame to suit #corporatists.
