Since the begining my person suggested to modify DC so that a “privat” email server owner could stay away for use of “free” and does not need to lead others to use what’s not really given to them or with other interest.
Those encouragement, incl. “why not making a DC-server” had always been rejected by “we don’t want to be provider, we just make a tool to make use of other possible” seemingly founded by State taxes.
Now the strategy and objectives have seemingly changed incl. possible previous demands by supporter.
It’s all not about the tools but about ways of conduct and moral. Once peoople of wrong view have enough merits they usually act like those who they opposed. Dealing with sharing something as “free” of which isn’t is commmon way to try to gain status, wealth, power… but it’s not long lasting.
It runs in ways that it becomes a perfect tool for all outlaw, criminal, unethical, rebellion, separatism and anarchic activism, with either well intended or foolish blind support of what’s the outcome of such.
Being total naive or well cheated to tell other that gaining independence by use, one actually get total dependend to even read or use one’s communications.
And by forced encryption, forced depersonalization of one’s communication, one total relays on techs, can’t use anything outside the providers defacto centralisation.
It’s not possible to go on anywhere without dependence and debt toward other and there is nothing free aside of the choice of whom one relays on, gett indebted to. Yet this freedom of choice requires not only own effort but also the freedom to be able to renounce comfort. Since people at large don’t have such freedom of choice, aren’t encouraged to work their ways out by acting virtuous, they get caught where ever they go, likewise those who think to provide liberation get caught by their dependens.
My person has long time avoided to suggest helpful since it will nevertheless be used just for increasing the cemeteries.
Maybe there will be those who are able to make a tool for people who are willing to give into effort of, by maintaining server and app for their community in a mannner that’s virtuous and far off of Robin hood ideals.
Common people wouldn’t buy it, sincethey are used to get it “free” and “ruleless”. That’s the point where the businessman needs to follow the path of cheat unless he would take his own possession and act really generously.
