    It’s the political culture of extreme paranoia, global domination, trying to ban encryption, sophisticated torture camps, IP insanity where they haul pirate site guys away for years, killed a guy over downloading academic papers off JSTOR, etcetera (no really, ETCETERA, it goes on and on) for me. You’re right about fedimap, I will see if there is more going on than I looked at last year. Plus, stuff like that and Fedidb is opt-in, which is why I was hoping there was more stuff lurking around. You’re right about friction but it’s easy for me to turn stuff like this into a game.

      Well if you want a game on God level difficulty, try to get a site started in China. Just let me know before you begin so I can get the world’s largest tub of popcorn while I watch.

      (The clue is “ICP”.)

        Again, that was an idea that spawned out of the guy who blocks every single Chinese and Russian website with UBlock. For a “boycott US” community, you guys sure seem obsessed with aligning against its enemies on time. Considering you would set up a website that reposts the Reddit Tiananmen Square copypasta 1000x a day and I would make a website that actually does something, I could probably teach you a thing or two.

          What the flying fuck are you talking about?

          I live in China, you utter berk. The reason I am laughing at the notion of someone setting a site up in China from abroad is I AM INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE REGULATIONS!

          Hell, as an expat actually resident in China, setting up a personal web site would be a tedious, frustrating grind. AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE ON THE FORMS. Having someone say “I can turn stuff like this into a game” is just so utterly fucking ignorant it makes me want to gather up a huge tub of popcorn while I watch you navigate a system that’s harder than even the one I would have to navigate would be.

          Just watching you navigate the SMS requirement would be hilarious.

            I know how to get an SMS message sent in China, grandpa. Go demand attention from your family or something.

              Tell me you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about when talking about ICP registration.

              I know how to get an SMS message sent in China …

              That’ll do it. Enjoy the “game” while I enjoy the popcorn. You complete and utter ignorant berk.

                Well, that will be a huge roadblock to the plan which I had dismissed outright from the start, and had no intention of pursuing. Maybe I can learn to live with letting down such a helpful mentor figure. ☺️
