Perhaps we could focus on exposing and disabling the liberal-fascist agenda of the CFR/UN/WEF network rather than trying to build a parallel system. The existing machinery just needs a different control program, and a lot of folks are ready for a reboot.

Of course, this would require the right vision, and the right players to make it happen. But look at what Musk is trying to do with the "free speech" movement at Twitter right now. He could flip that back to something useful very quickly.

Are there existing open source collaboration platforms that already do ~60-70% or so of what you are envisioning? If so, is their architecture amenable to building out the missing functionality? Why re-invent the wheel if there's already a wheel that can be improved? It takes a huge amount of time and effort to start up a brand new FOSS project and gain enough traction for it to become viable. Much better to survey the available options and identify which one(s) are most viable. Then engage the existing dev teams and discover, at a technical/architectural level, whether trying to build out the missing functionality is possible, given the state of the codebases, and whether the dev team is even interested in the prospect. If a given platform is a good technical candidate but the development team isn't interested, but you can still generate enough interest in other developers, then a fork and re-branding might be in order....

Permaculture fo reals. We need to be more accountable to the necessities of our physical existence. We need to remember the electricity networks and most tech networks need to have a reduction in use because they are backed by power sources that are centralised by nature. WAR and OIL.

Simple things, eat more vegies, ride you bike, by less but show of and share more. Grow trees that give food, fuel or fodder, eliminate and reduce debt.

All these things underpin a decentralised system and I have been doing it for 30 years and it is very comforting and it nurtures me and my family.

Resilience is small scale and flexible. Brittle is large and top down. Let's go people. Do one thing today that builds your own independence. Plant a vegetable or resist an unnecessary purchase or fix something broken that you use.

It is the best and most fun life. Making stuff and caring for it.

Thanks! Platform idea is intriguing..

I listened to our German friend’s clip. He is clear about allowing countries to decide their own approach, whether like China’s or not. Surprised to hear those words, not that I believe them. What do you make of that?
