Reminder That Antenna Needs Your Gemlog
I would like to remind ew0k and the world that all my feeds were banned from Antenna four months ago, after ew0k put a rules block on my gemini domain (gem.librehacker.com). This was in response to my writing a conservative post criticizing Hamas and the Palestinians. A few people stood up for me, but even after much attention on Antenna and BBS, the ban was never reversed.
I greatly appreciated the Antenna service and would be glad to be able to submit feeds once again. I post on a variety of subjects including programming, photography, science, and politics, and I usually have at least two or three new entries per week. I am an evangelical and a conservative, for sure, and I'm glad to let my beliefs be thrown out into the marketplace of ideas, where other people can disagree or even mock them if they like. Whenever I posted something that was not politically correct, usually at least 5 or 6 people would post their disagreement and disdain for me, driving up participation in Antenna and giving folks a chance to air their opinions on controversial subjects.
If ew0k is determined to make Antenna just another left-wing echo chamber, it is eventually going to fade in obscurity, like all the other left-wing propaganda media. But if we want to see some excitement and vitality on Antenna, then open up the floodgates of public opinion.
Somehow I doubt that ew0k is subscribed to this gemlog himself. But if anybody else who cares still has access to Antenna, please help draw attention to this issue. Just make a post linking to this article, and submit your feed to Antenna.
