Was just thinking how nice it is to be on social media and not be bombarded with ads!

Its amazing how this is the first site in years that I dont need to install blockers or scroll through bs or be so cynical with what I read.

Fellow Australians, rejoice in this little space we have from corporate bombardment

    Chess.com has something like 10million active users per day, I don’t think they’re directly comparable. Plus the problem space is much, much simpler with an online cheese game than federating thousands of servers with millions of users.

    To be clear, I never said that this was impossible, just that we need to keep expectations in check and that nothing is free.

      And Wikipedia?

      We should strive to create a platform that isn’t captured by the interests of advertisers. You’re stating the obvious that nothing is free.
