@Joe_Limon Nice Congratulation
@Joe_Limon so like 6 degrees of separation?
Yeah similar focus on links vs topics but listen to the very start of the podcast for a more fleshed out vision
If you'll indulge me, won't this cause more problems? Won't it allow people to associate things with other things that shouldn't be associated with or that dont make sense? Like trump being a nazi or vaccines leading to autism? I'm not saying it definitely will happen just putting it out there
Since when was suppression of thought/speech the best course of action in order to overcome these provably false narratives?
If someone associates vaccines with autism. Would it not be best to host said speech in an easily accessible manner and allow public discourse for amd against the idea in an easily accessible manner?
and someone is doing that already somewhere
you have software which captures where your mouse moves etc. already, build in and used by our very browsers, why wouldn't that include seeing what people are interested in?
Not sure where/why you brought up "suppression of thought/speech thing from" I guess I'm just asking do you realize that this thing may be completely used in the opposite direction of how you intend?
it already most likely is, so lets better also get something positive out of it
Cool beans
Suppression of thought/speech is what happens when you take precautions protecting ideologies you hold dear. Unless you can come up with another method to control ideas away from perceived dangers...
Is this a personal project or a work thing?
Personal project seeking to push and find someone who can champion it and make it a reality as I do not have the connections or finances to do it alone.
Sure just like reddit does
There is a SCURGE on this planet. It has been used for millions of years to fight wars and carry out executions. Please sign my petition banning rocks. I realize we can't ban all rocks, that would just be silly. My petition specifically bans assault style rocks. lol
Associations you mean?
Yeah, I would put it at the same moderation level as thinkspot claims it will have. Only US court authority in removing speech.
I think it's in closed beta but you can apply to join
I think thinkspot is closed until they iron out the systems to a level where they are happy to go public with it.
I hope they don't try that weird cryptocurrency just for the site way of monetiztion
Well Minds still censors some, Gab is degen and I have never been directed to care about voat
My thought is it will create a special niche in allowing people to navigate a web of conversations rather than a time based or algorithmically promoted list of conversations
i mean isn't that already sort of what algorithms do?
"people who looked at this also looked at..."
Allow people to search for any topic and they will see the most popular associations connected to the topic as and spreading out from it smaller/less conversed connections
No matter the platform, if it can be administered by a person no posts are safe. They can say we won't delete posts but, if some politician or organization offers them a million dollars to delete a few posts, I bet you they would.
So is the difference mostly in the formatting of the results?
More like a web?
Imagine a wikipedia web where all the conversation is commited on the hyperlinks
Ok so if the link itself had a talk page (not a perfect analogy, more social media-y)
Tag two topics to create a conversation linking the two
Yes micamike

Like this, more talked about will prioritize connections closer to the topic
Not sure yet, I like how minds operates free of advertisements. But the boost system can be annoying.
Got me some Sonoran Defense engraved mags and gave some out as gifts! Thanks Matt.
