# So much cool stuff going on
### 20181128

The rise  of the  decentralized gopherspace  is upon  us! So
many cool-ass  servers coming  up. I find  the cosmic.voyage
project in particular  to be engrossing. I  have been making
it  a point  to follow  the disjointed  logs of  the various
voyagers. So damned cool!

I am thinking about entering this fray, but since I would be
hosting something  out of my  home, it would  be shell-less,
likely git  based. Gotta  put some  brain into  a compelling
differentiator. I do have another pi sitting dormant. Maybe 
I will run another gopher server on a different port... stay
tuned.

A standard set of federation tools is needed. I would really
like to  see the circumlunar community,  the tildeverse, and
lone islands (personal boxen  hosting personal content) have
the ability  to join  in on chat,  internal mail,  and other
apps. Maybe a  git repo with tar'd  source and configuration
files would be a cool step.

I  envision  a  system  of  systems  with  a  loose  set  of
guidelines. My guiding priciple is non-engagement of persons
I  disagree  with  ideologically,   when  it  comes  to  the
subject(s) I  disagree with.  Hardset rules are  stifling to
me, but  each sysop is the  lord of his/her manor.  There is
plenty of middle ground to be found, and a live-and-let-live
anti-censorship poilcy can be  fostered in which socialists,
monarchists, and right leaners can all be nerds together.  I
am normally not a big  agreer with libertarians, but I think 
in this case they provide the best option.
