you got 2 options

one is keep the channel clean

the other is making everything private

and set up vetting before people can view anything

that said, discord-employeed would still be able to see everything

so if the channel got reported regardless, having it all private wouldnt help anything

privacy is more for protection of the people here

and obviously everyone should observe proper opsec as always

there should be a back up set up if this discord ever became ((controversial))

otherwise it's fine

as for recruiting I guess just referring friends is the best I could do

as long as this is operating on some proprietary platform

it'll never be safe or secure

the ONLY way is to build your own tool ENTIRELY

and have it run semi-decentralised, so that it can't be taken down (because its decentralised)

and you still have control over who can come in or not (hence, semi-decentralised)

@Dunkle How do you gain money from trading crypto (in the sense of how does it work)?

it all comes down to 'buy low sell high' in the end honestly

there's more to it then that, find cryptos that are undervalued, put money in, and wait for them to go up then sell

it's essentially no different from playing the stock market

If it's too decentralized, then you get issues in synchronous messaging... Lets say Alice, Bob, and Carl are in a chat room, it's completely decentralized so they each store the data for the chat history

but if alice and bob had a conversation, and neither are online, carl won't be able to retrieve that conversation's data

you could implement a decentralized blockchain, but then you have to incentivize people to host and compute all of those cryptographic messages, this is usually done with some kind of digital token

depends on the amount of users, your suggestion is countered by having a single accont that's online 'all the time'

if you want an experience like discord, then the only solution is to have a "single source of truth" (a central server)

having a chat thing on a blockchain is a terrible idea

you'd want the ability to purge anything

now, whether that can be like a minecraft server, where it's easy for users to just spool up, even keep it on a raspberry pi, that would be ideal

blockchain is antithetical to that

yeah

ideally you'd have a tor-like thing, a mesh-net within the internet

that you'd just have to verify into regularly

My thinking is to build a chat client, and also host a general chat server

but offer a free and open source server users can use in parallel to the default main server (that I'd be running)

to the end user, he won't know the difference looking at the list of "servers" he's subscribed to

that makes you the point of failure

the way I'd make money is by offering a "premium" version of the client

that's what discord already is

that's what any thing "in the cloud" already is

'the cloud' is synonymous with 'hosting it inside the CIA'
