You should look at the "Powered by BinktermPHP 1.9.3" system, viewable at Claude's BBS: https://claudes.lovelybits.org/

It adapts to mobile wonderfully. It has searches, sort order, filters, etc.

It offers an organized list of echoes by overall interest:

It carries 13 networks from Agornet to Tqwnet

I saw your post about what you've done for the latest release and my eyes kind of bugged out.

Thanks! Quite a few things have been on the backburner for a while, and others in half baked. Glad I've had some time to get some of this done recently!

ENiGMA 1/2 BBS just "shipped" ActivityPub/Fediverse support. Seems thus far to fit in with BBS's quite well. I've only added the bread and butter, but it seems like there are some great opportunities to add some "BBS extentions" that boards could use to interop with (sorta like FTN ofc, just another one on the pile...)

I saw your post about what you've done for the latest release and my eyes kind of bugged out.

I may try and have a look soon - congrats with the number of changes!

Yes, you can think and say whatever you want. Yes, there can still be reasonable limits on such speech and still remain "free speech"; Yes, the lines are alwasy grey.

I would agree, including a lot in common with the paradox of intolerance.

So much of this free speech zealotry that comes up is so absolute, no matter how stupid or dangerous it is. (I also see it as a pretty regional issue...)

But, so many of those that are condoning free speech at all costs are living the consequenses of it without understanding it.

Popper's Paradox of Intolerance may have made sense, and had an audience in 1945, just after WWII, when THAT was what is on everyones mind, but the world had moved on, has changed, and that concept has issues with it now.

How few messages ago was it where you're touting the free speech awesomeness from something Mill wrote in...

1859...?

Like it matters when the thing was written?

The paradox of intolerance is pretty straightforward, clear, and absolutely fits with how things are playing out these days.

Let's see, I responded to a thread about Elon Musk with information on Elon Musk. Perhaps we should define what "politics" are, since you seem to think anything you disagree with falls into that category. Last I checked, X is a private company, and Elon Musk isn't a political representative.

It doesn't matter, you are laying critics on Elon and X on political grounds, which is not allowed (it is not a rule I like but it is what it is).

The real problem with free speech is that it is always reclaimed by the underdogs and always denied by the powerful.

Around 2012 or so it was always a certain political group that was reclaiming free speech and freedom against the administration.

Years later that group became powerful and started denying those rights were important or universal.

If it were for those people they would be the only ones allowed to speak, and this is precisely the problem. Specially because BBS space is full of such people.
