We are Building Rival Social Networks that aim to provide a smooth transition from the established Social Networks, by creating platforms that work as close as possible to what people are used to.
All of the 6 main Rival Platforms will have at its core, 2 main principles that they will work to and they are:
Free Speech and Personal Responsibility.
Free Speech is the right to say what you want.
With Free Speech, there will always be that small minority of people who push common decency and then yell, FREE SPEECH as a defense for being cruel, vulgar or just rude.
Free Speech also lets people respond to others by labeling others, most times without even knowing the full story or the character of a person
Now if you suffer retaliation in any form, understand that you also have Personal Responsibility for what you have said, even as far as being charged with making false statements, perjury, slander and other laws that you decide to break.
Personal Responsibility is the right to accept the consequences of your actions.
If you decide to read a comment or post that you know you will disapprove of, its your personal responsibility to avoid that comment or post and if you do end up reading it, then the fact you being angry and triggered is the consequences.
Remember the first time you touched fire... you probably didn't do it again, because you knew the consequences
Just because we allow Free Speech, doesn't mean we suddenly decide that anything goes.
Instead the boundaries of what crosses the line is discussed and voted in by the Community and the Platform Managers will abide by the Communities decisions, since they are the majority Shareholders and if a Project Manager doesn't do a good job, they maybe Voted out of their role, which the Community decide and vote for an existing manager or new manager an it happens every 5th of November.
