Hot topic as of late is who controls content and what authority they may have over it. So far it seems that the contention also includes operating costs of hosting/running DFD (which are actual costs that cannot be ignored).
Moving forward to allow for a more inclusive and participative DFD, would you want DFD to become a cooperative made up of its most active members and those new/old who would want to participate in the cooperative?
For example, if DFD costs $10/month to run, we would all pitch in our portion toward this monthly expense to help run the site. As such we also get collective ownership and make collective ownership decisions. This can be as complex as banning/muting people but also finding better hosting platforms, etc.
I think it is a neat idea and it removes power from a concentrated few and distributes it to everyone who is an active participant (as it should be on a forum that has less than 25 active users)

Worst case scenario it would be what, $1/month per active member if we factored in those that actually post daily?

So how many current mods will stop posting or severely limit what they say once opinions are than their own become commonplace ....
The way I see it no way out other than getting off their high horse and accepting that some don’t agree their thinking and they are in no position to make that an enforceable point without further decreasing a minuscule member count. Hell mods are almost 1:1 with active members. That’s weird
The don’t be a dick principle still applies but the silencing has to go. That said given the current leadership structure best of luck to us all. Plenty of times it was already pointed out that “if you disagree with me I’m out of here or you’re out of here ” .
Which puts us at square 0

FWIW the horse has left the stable. I'm done. New moderator made, ownership transfer in process.
I think he just wants to keep the place alive and conversations going. You, [user not found], and [user not found] are all very valuable members of the community here.

The point was to come to a middle ground to keep this forum alive. As opposed to ban/silence others. But perhaps this is the natural progression of events where all slowly part ways

I just tolerate a far greater range of opinions than you do.
