Again, I applaud them for their efforts. I think it is cool. However, it would also be cool to have a standalone crossword app that uses an ncurses-type of library to play crosswords in the console without relying on Emacs. That is all I was saying. I'm not criticizing the author that what they did isn't neat.

Emacs is meant to really be a text-editor. I'm all for utilizing Emacs and Vim to do unique things, like ledgers and time tracking, since those are essentially markup formats for text editing. However, crosswords just seems more or less like playing games in Vim. It is cool and all, like I said, but it seems much better suited for at least a semi-interactive text-based CLI app.

I applaud the developer regardless, but I personally would be much more keen on using this if it was standalone and not dependent on Emacs.

I get that this is cool and all, but why Emacs? Why not just use a text-based library and have it as a standalone app?

I'm not being silenced. I can setup a website easily or my own Mastodon, or whatever else. If I really wanted to make it more censorship-resistant I'd use IPFS and a decentralized JS framework for real-time communication.

r/conservative r/conspiracy r/donaldtrump all come to mind as communities that (up until one was recently banned) complained about censorship while constantly banning users for providing debate.

Heck, I signed up for Gab and was almost immediately banned from the entire site after sharing my liberal opinion.

Does that mean if I call my boss names and he fires me, he is censoring my free speech? Now apply that to Facebook. Facebook isn't censoring free speech and the definition of free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want and not have any repercussions.
