This plugin is part of, A Revolution Online, a call for a movement away from the social media networks Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Vimeo, Google+ and etcetera. My concern is that they are hindering our potential of free speech. The services have achieved authority online through the coercion of friendship and community for the end purpose of commercial profit. Centralized systems are easy targets by corrupt governments and malicious private organizations. Their stance on copyright law leans more towards draconian law enforcement as they do not release their own source code; the "take-down" notice is a compromise that frustrates many people. Many of the services lack the ability to use pseudonyms that are essential for free speech. Social Media’s strength has been in integrating interfaces for the proficiency of use and improving the speed that information moves.

I’m proposing that we fully embrace free software, such as this plugin, and freely licensed works as networked media using feeds to mirror and communicate between software. This will take us into a revolution online and will shift the focus from privatized social networks for commercial profit towards using integrated interfaces for political organization for direct democracy.
