Introduction

Welcome to this Decentralize All Things wiki.

This editable wiki page is similar to a comment but anyone can edit and contribute, including adding internal links (include the entire SaidIt html path) and external links to other websites.

Assistance with SaidIt Markdown code formatting can be found on this https://SaidIt.net/wiki/Commenting wiki page for common issues to advanced techniques.

If this wiki page grows too unwieldy then sub-pages can be made for specific topics. If this wiki page grows excessively unwieldy we may use the uncensored WikiSpooks.com and/or InfoGalactic.com wikis to add and curate content and/or do non-encyclopedic open-wiki-projects in coordination with SaidIt and this SaidIt forum.

This Decentralize All Things subSaidIt has been configured in a Brave browser. If you see any anomalies or ways to improve it please contact a moderator. Thanks in advance.

Centralization / decentralization / distribution / distributed decentralization.

Because a single point of failure is the easiest way for tyranny to stop and stomp on resistance, it's important we decentralize and distribute away from a central hub to a network mesh of information. Projex.Wiki may be a good starting place to organize projects, but it should never be the only or last place that information resides. Naturally we'll openly share developments, solutions, and ways we can collaboratively and openly share projects.

• Decentralized alternatives‏‎
• Wikipedia: Decentralization

  Decentralization or decentralisation is the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those regarding planning and decision-making, are distributed or delegated away from a central, authoritative location or group and given to smaller factions within it.

• Wiktionary: decentralize
  1. To cause something to change from being concentrated at one point to being distributed across a number of points.
  2. To reduce the authority of a governing body by distributing that authority among several bodies.
• Wordnick: decentralize
  1. To distribute the administrative functions or powers of (a central authority) among several local authorities.
  2. To bring about the redistribution of (an urban population and industry) to suburban areas.
  3. To cause to withdraw or disperse from a center of concentration.

Mirrored from /s/DecentralizeAllThings: Decentralize All Things, authority, Internet, and everything for greater freedom. Decentralize all things. Decentralize all colluding monopolies and hegemony. Decentralize banksters' banking and finance. Decentralize the ruling class corporate power. Decentralize all levels of the government corporatocracy. Decentralize policing power back to communities. Decentralize the Internet. Affiliate and federate. Unify, diversify, and distribute. Whatever it takes - but remain decentralized. Centralized 'authority' is just a totalitarian monopoly on violence. Centralized controlled dogmatic 'Left' and 'Right' are just the tribalist wings of the war-hawk corporatocracy, also known as the Military Industrial Academic Complex. Centralized Internet demands group-think while free-thinking is censored, banned, or worse. Centralized corporate media is only propaganda, psy-ops, and manipulative brainwashing programming to distract from real issues, genuine sustainability, better alternatives, and authentic solutions. Worse, 'our' corporate-dominated consumer culture is a trap - we're forced to pay for our own enslavement entrainment without any say in any of their 'intellectual properties' while the technocracy does everything it can to suppress or stomp out organic natural culture and authentic entertainment. Centralized religion and scientism are equally unverifiable faith-based social viruses for 'authoritative' and 'experts' systems of control. Centralized power is absolutely corrupt.

Paywall alternatives list

Ryan Dawson has gone through hell being censored.

In his interview with the Halsey News Network "Radio Free America (Episode 268): Social Censorship (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq_2W8_oDHE)" (2019-03-04) @ around 1:40:00 they discuss who he's ruled out and the solution he goes with now. He finally set up a paywall through Cleeng after trying Muvi and Wistia and other stuff.

Cleeng
