I watched the livestream. @rabble did a great job describing the overall landscape. What’s more important than the technical protocols is what our various communities want. The social media bill of rights is a great way to gain consensus and get more support for our work.

Gotta love @rabble View quoted note →

I now where this is going in socialist and Marxist communist minds, leery be clear about what a "right" is. You have the unalienable right to choose apps, protocols and platforms that interoperate using one login. You don't have a right to force apps, protocols or platforms to do this. It is not a right if you have to force someone else's platform to allow cross platform ability. Privacy is an unalienable right that is constantly being egregiously infringed on by governments and institutions.

I think we must choose to build and use protocols and apps which uphold these rights. I’ve been introduced to a few elected politicians with regards to these rights. While it’s fine if they choose to try and pass a law, that’s not my goal. My focus is giving a clear idea of what we need in our tools, rights aren’t given by god or government, they’re won by people organizing and demanding that our rights be respected. When our rights are violated we must have the organised power to fight back.

I am sure you killed your speech Rabble. !!!!

Unalienable rights and individual free agency guarantee the rights of minorities and of individuals. Unalieanable rights are rights that cannot be taken away, not even by a 100% majority vote. Unalienable rights cannot be legislated away, and they cannot be ruled away by a supreme court. They cannot be contracted away. Governments and institutions cannot add qualifiers to unalienable rights, and they cannot dilute them. They have no authority over unalienable rights. America is a country of unalienable rights. The Constitution does not grant those rights. The Constitution explicitly tells the government that it cannot, and shall not, infringe on those rights.
