As for the platform - that's a philosophical debate about the legitimacy of intellectual property etc., but it's irrelevant, since my my suggestions only regard the network and its administration. The network, however, was created by the users (especially the moderators). It has been a collective social project which SE Inc. has facilitated, and to which it has contributed, but it is certainly not "theirs". | |
| Mar 4, 2024 at 16:24 | comment | added | Nearoo | The platform isn't yours, it has never been yours, and it won't be yours, even though you start identifying yourself as being a part of it. I actually find it very arrogant to demand ownership over something purely because you like it, so I guess the 100% claim isn't true. It's your choice to put that much time and heart into this. Don't depend on a platform over which you have no control, you could've known that from the start. | |

| Jun 28, 2023 at 7:37 | comment | added | Zeus | However noble your ideas might be, please never claim "100% support" on behalf of other people. You don't know it, and you don't represent all of "us users". | |
| Jun 23, 2023 at 14:30 | comment | added | Dalton Bentley | Excellent suggestions, but humanity has a deadly tendency to follow those who should not lead, i.e., the masses believe CEOs are the appropriate decision-makers, when that role now is simply that of a parasite maximizing personal gain at the expense of the public and employees (loss of Titan submersible is glaring example). The history of evolution is necessarily bloody and our current insanity will not endure, but it is going to be painful for a while. | |

| Jun 8, 2023 at 8:27 | comment | added | einpoklum | @OrangeDog: 1. "You make your money off of other things anyway, not the network itself: Ads, jobs, custom installations, etc." 2. "Really? Show us. Open your books and business plans. Otherwise it's just empty rhetoric." 3. "If you don't make enough money without hurting the network, spin it out into a not-for-profit entity and rearrange your business. If that non-proft needs money, it should not be much of a problem to fundraise from the community to maintain and develop the SE network." | |

| Jun 8, 2023 at 6:29 | comment | added | einpoklum | @SilvioMayolo: The first step towards achieving a goal is conceiving it. The second is putting it forward. The third is getting people to adopt it as a goal. Making it the demand of a strike may be the 6th or 7th step, but - at least I'm trying to help advance from one step to the next. Let the strikers decide how far they think they can go. | |
| Jun 8, 2023 at 2:20 | comment | added | Silvio Mayolo | All four of those are honestly really great ideas, but I don't have high confidence in any of them happening. | |
