One last comment here on this topic;

For anybody who wants to discuss decentralized communication= mechanisms in general, they can come to www.reddit.com/r/p2pcomms (up until these decentralized foru= ms have become stable and common).

I've seen quite a few more of these projects lately, I w= ant to make a list of them and would definitely like to contribute to makin= g them not just usable, but good enough to gain popularity on their own.

(And in case you wonder about my approach to moderation: let= every user pick which moderators / filters / servers he trusts, and let th= em share their subscription preferences in place of sharing links to centra= lized forums.)

Zander is working on the same thing: https://www.reddit.co= m/r/AetheralResearch/

But it's actually quite difficult to make it truly censorship-resistant= : both in solving the theymos factor and spam/abuse/overloading as an attac= k.

We have /r/bitcoinxt and so far it has been great. But we also need a regul= ar forum.

Roger Ver controls bitcoin.com, as I understand? https://bitcoin.com/forum/ would be nice.

And it must be a real community, not "say whatever you want because fr= ee speech". We've seen how that turned out to be.

Something like
battle.net or Steam forums: heavily moderated, not for opinions,= but for spam/noise/insults.

Again, this needs leadership. Anyone can install a forum software, what is = needed is an "official seal of approval" and regular presence of = top XT people there.

And a will to setup proper moderation. Then people will move.
