Did you... make these?
Are they swimming in powdered sugar?

No censorship at all - that means giving equal opportunity to flat earthers and NASA for informing masses? And people should just choose for themselves who they think makes more sense?
I think so. Yeah... Wikipedia has been generally wonderful.
Only, people won't choose "for themselves" in isolation. Their parents and friends will will surely help guide them. Most people want to know the truth. Seeing a single version actually makes that less likely, not more.

Uncensored TV would have: more PBS, more channels. The ones you found objectionable could be censored at the TV or home level. Of course bandwidth isn't/wasn't unlimited - so what voices have been being broadcast now?
The most well funded... probably less than ideal, too.

"but these outlets have become too central to our society to censor" - what do you mean by that? What about TV & radio, aren't those central & censored too? Do we even want uncensored TV? Just wondering what kind of society would we have without any censorship. Loudest voice wins
Loudest voice? Nah. I think you're going to get a feel for the answer as Peepeth develops...
All media outlets have traditionally had gate-keepers. A world without them is hard to imagine. I'm sure most people would rather have them - and a free market would likely provide them.
Fantastic.
I'm sure many projects will follow. With the "Tweet pass-through" feature, no reach is lost. Win win.
Replying to @ChiliMac (0x90cfd4934278cfc9205e5893b089074acd8eb351)
Agreed, but how would it be altered by someone or group of technocrats "regulating" or "steering" content or "quality" etc, etc. Don't know why this is such a problematic issue for millennials who probably can't name all 5 parts of 1stA with googling it.
I just want to touch on the last point briefly - lots of the world doesn't have the "1st Amendment". This is a global issue - I agree that the internet monopolies have too much power.
Hopefully, blockchains will help with that. We need more collaboration & crypto incentivizes it

Welcome to Peepeth, Patrick! 🐧Those tomatoes look delicious! 🍅
Oh, I assure you - they are.
If anyone here has never had the chance to try a tomato that ripens to perfection naturally... you don't know what a tomato really tastes like. You can eat them like apples.

I don't trust ANYONE, no matter their intentions. Don't u get it, any great idea goes to shit once u add in the people factor. No such thing as total transparency all math and such aside, regular folk don't have time for that. the problems with soc media is agenda driven ideology
Great ideas come from people to begin with. Some people are not out for the best interest of their neighbors - and that's was normally results in the corruption of great ideas.
Our modern world is people, people all the way down - layers and layers of people and their ideas.

It' like twitter but it costs something!
After you've been a member of the community a while, Peepeth actually covers the fees to use the Ethereum blockchain back end.
Welcome to Peepeth!

& the scotus HAS addressed the various issues regarding the tax laws, but to learn that one would have to actually read the book, the website. it isn't an easy read, but if one can successfully access peepeth, I believe they can apprehend the truth about taxation. vids underscore
Further, why do "elites" spend so much time and energy moving assets to tax havens if they could simply change the manner in which they fill out their tax returns?

With the media today thriving off of contentious and sensationalist news... you'd think any activity by the supreme court regarding income taxation would be a national headline....
@brando I'm not sure at this point they are even considering content when it comes to him. They have unilaterally decided he isn't welcome on their platforms.
This would actually be fine by me (not a fan of his), but these outlets have become too central to our society to censor
Replying to @theoldsparrow (0xd2b45813e53e03bf6bb2cd49b2dd6ba2a46e79e8)
Thank you. I've quit smoking before but never quit vaping before so hopefully this is more doable.
You can do it. Your Peeple will be here if you need to rant about it.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/7026138/cryptocurrency-bitcoin-crash-suicide-fears/. Mainstream media embarrassingly changes it's tune every day when it comes to Bitcoin. Tomorrow it will be the best thing since sliced bread.
It's unfortunate that they are generally as - if not more - bipolar than the "traders". The reason why: sensationalism gets clicks. They work for clicks, not readers.
Can't wait for that dynamic to come to an end.

Yep. And Apple declared Chinese citizenship and gave the keys to the “iCloud” to the Chinese government. Let that sink in.. your photos, contacts, calendars, notes, and yes, even your text message threads...all Chinese “big data” now. Get ready.. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Android already does that, but at least they are open about it. With Apple *everything* is closed source, so you really have to trust them.
Decentralize all things.

This is what happens when you roll in goose shit.
Will adopt for bad behavior.
Adorable.
Great community we have here, Peeple.
Will be fun to watch it grow together. Thank you all for your help making people feel welcome and encouraging positive, thoughtful discussion of diverse and interesting ideas.
The blockchain crowd consists of some real stand-up pioneers.
Replying to @satsearcher (0x6348dbea8987c27f8462755e493f64d99c28dd05)
Yes, I’d definitely be keen to shoot some videos or write some articles about dApps - any topics you’re looking to cover? I can bring a good perspective for the front-end web/crypto exchange layer
I have a list a mile long- my namesake site hasn't been updated in crypto eons because of other obligations... but hopefully, I'll be writing again soon. As for you, write about wherever your interests take you. I am just offering usage of a platform since I know you're sincere.
Replying to @Brando (0xa3e5615035ad34cdc2348d5a44ecb22fba18109e)
If I could, I would. I mean I have some gold, silver, stocks and a 401K but I prefer my currency to be capped, proof-of-work, and untied to debt- whenever possible. 😉🙏
I'm excited about sound money as well - though not necessarily capped or POW. Absolutely untied to debt. That's a dangerous game most are forced to play.
Replying to @strategesis (0x90f59cff0eb6db919f3ec92723ad7ea8580b318c)
No. It'a criticism of Keynesian economics in general, and of Krugman's stated beliefs about economic principles in particular. As for tariffs, they're taxes. And like any other tax, expected taxes to improve the economy is a "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" fallacy.
I thought it was a little more general ... :-)
GDP, much like Crypto's "market caps" can be contorted to fit all kinds of intentions. Are they worthless metrics? Maybe not... but probably worth less than most people think.

Actually, it was @bevan's use of "dumb contracts" which inspired some changes I intended to make today!
And @Bevan borrowed the idea from @james of leeroy fame...
Isn't open collaboration wonderful?

I know there're some exploration, but I'm not sure when we get an industry solution.
I think blockchains will not lead to "an" industry solution. More likely a protocol spec that can be stored across chains (with something like eth being the trust layer / standard platform).
This way innovation never stops, but open collaboration is maintained.

Right now the project is a bunch of disorganized code spread across my desktop, laptop, a housemate's computer, and a couple Raspberry Pi's; once I get past prototyping, though, I'll definitely keep you in mind <3
Awesome. Thank you.

Financial systems aren't the only thing that can be revolutionized by blockchains. I have a passion project going in the background, for example, in designing decentralized systems for medical records -- putting that data back in the individual's control.
Absolutely! Hey, keep me up to date if you need a beta tester or anything. Love to kick the wheels on some new tech!

Can you point me to the best thing to play with... as far as a working dApp? Curious.

Thomas Jefferson described central banking as an "engine for speculation, financial manipulation, and corruption", and his words were as ever prescient. Blockchains are a step in the right direction.
Wise words indeed. Wonder if he even could have envisioned multi-national corporations and the revolving doors of governments/bankers.
Your last line is so very true.

Awesome.
What got you in to blockchain? Are you excited by the prospect of cutting out brokers or even banks for real estate sales by using smart contracts in the future?

Hello peepers! 9days since I visited... Life's been a little busy fo me! I shared that in my blog... https://www.blogtrovert.com/blogging-without-consistency #bloggers story! I hope you click, read, and send in your criticism and recommendations!
Will check it out.
Been busy on Peepeth, too.
Thanks for checking in and sharing!

Glad to have you here @queena. Thanks for brightening Peepeth with your photos and writing. Will add a translate feature soon so your peeps will have more reach :)
Can't wait for that!
And yeah,@Queena has made some beautiful contributions.

Thank you. I certainly won't be leaving; unlike other platforms, I can be heard, here.
👍
Replying to @satsearcher (0x6348dbea8987c27f8462755e493f64d99c28dd05)
Yep, this is true. I'm crystal clear on how I want to be known in this community though: a power user, dapp evangelist, and someone who helps newbies get started. Even in my own little way, haha.
Our goals overlap. If you ever want a place to post any articles/videos towards that effort (aside from medium/youtube) let me know ;-)

I was a programmer before illness left me with nothing. My politics and opinions made me unwelcome in the Silicon Valley; when it came to a point where I needed neighbors, I had none.
That's a sad tale, indeed. :-(
Being a programmer and a writer is a powerful combination. Using your mastery of those languages can literally change the world.
A world where your story doesn't repeat would be a fantastic improvement.

This is funny and rings true. The quote seems to not only apply to life, but to some good endeavors as well.
Humbling to imagine how you might be able to relate to that quote.
Thanks for starting.

I came across Cherán entirely by chance, like so many other things in my life. Someone mentioned a city in Michoacán that had solved their cartel problem, and I just kept digging. As for your second comment -- it has more to do with lacking family, than the US.
In my view, your neighbors should be your family. Voluntarily.
Something has made that way less common in the modern world, and that's a shame. I think empathy/wanting to help is a natural thing - how does it erode even in a rich country?
I have ideas, but I'll just keep them.

A writer by trade? I never thought of it like that. I became homeless while I had cancer, a number of years back; my writing, presented in blogs or video essays on YouTube, became a means to survive.
Like, how did you uncover the story about the Mexican city without a government? Are you a freelance writer or do you just pick up things that interest you and go with that...
Re: homeless + cancer. Not too many countries those go together so often as the USA... am I right? :-(

@CallMeGwei it took that long? 😂
Blame it on @abcoathup ! I used to follow all the new Peeple. Then he told me "who you follow is your brand" - so I had to get all careful and slow my roll. Now I only follow ~one new person a week. This was your week. But I have a list!
Replying to @sevvie (0xb9a7922eec475605498ba3c1f7f0aca98585f30a)
I apologise; if they were stepping in to 'save me' from missing his content, I couldn't see it like that before you presented it as such. I have rarely in my life been welcome; my family disowned me at a very young age. Thank you for helping me see it in another light.
Hey. We all have our own stories.
I'm so glad we could all chime in at the same time and clear up the whole issue. Keep Peeping! :-)
Thanks for being honest and open about what you're feeling too! We are all growing together here. It's super refreshing.
Replying to @sevvie (0xb9a7922eec475605498ba3c1f7f0aca98585f30a)
Thank you. But my muting voyager was not ideological. I saw someone that gave me the impression they were judging another ideologically, and when communication was summarily dismissed without understanding what was being said, I moved to avoid conflict.
That's super fair. I saw a great conversation and tried to keep them coming. I saw rapid link posting and didn't necessarily want to save that.
Nothing about specific users. Just my own personal preferences revealed, I guess.
Replying to @sevvie (0xb9a7922eec475605498ba3c1f7f0aca98585f30a)
It certainly tells me that voyager is a valued member of the community -- but not that I am. It has distinctly given me the impression that choosing to temporarily mute for the purposes of avoiding stress and conflict will be looked down upon.
Avoiding conflict is completely understandable.
You weren't wrong to mute anyone. 100% your call!
I was just hoping to see more of that dialogue. To learn. Not at the expense of causing you undue stress, of course.
Now - what can you teach me today? Are you a writer by trade?
Replying to @sevvie (0xb9a7922eec475605498ba3c1f7f0aca98585f30a)
I didn't say you did mute him. I said you and others leveled no judgement on those who wished to mute him. And yet, I, the newbie, the outsider, am judged for doing so and considering the implications of doing so aloud.
Your tense conversation actually taught me a lot. Maybe I'm being selfish in wanting to see you two chatting again! I just hate to see conversation result in mutes (vs rapid link posting - which isn't ideological muting as much as /volume/ muting).
You're pretty great in my book

@sevvie we are too young of a platform to have outsider and insiders.
The Peep I sent you about waiting a day... is actually what led me to do the same and end up in interesting conversation. Please don't feel like an outsider - the situations were just different.

I'm just here for the immutable speech platform- Nothing more nothing less.
The community is really what makes Peepeth awesome. Anyone can write to the blockchain at any time - without a community around it... it's just not the same.
Replying to @sevvie (0xb9a7922eec475605498ba3c1f7f0aca98585f30a)
I find this very strange. No one is suggesting others "pause a day" before muting @ChiliMac; and yet, you and another have made the same suggestion of me for the very act of considering the implications of my muting @voyager temporarily.
I didn't mute @ChiliMac in the end! I just wanted to for a second because I was being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of posts with links.
Turned out that we had a really interesting conversation.
I would have completely missed out.
