Most Promising Tribe Replacement
If you're deeply annoyed at the recent changes in Tribe's TOU and/or UI, free-association.net isn't your only option, of course. It is, however, the only option that is strictly non-commercial, (going to be) hosted offshore (looking to be Peru...go figure!) and legally insulated as best we know how to ensure that we're never censored beyond the almost "wild west" mentality of our hosting service and also that the US government can't shut us down.
It's kind of like living in a house with no drywall, exposed wiring, and a dirt floor just now, but you can see the architect's intent, and you know it's going to be pretty damned cool when it's done, which isn't even going to take that long. Besides, you can help, too, and win the undying gratitude of similarly free-expression-minded people.
The features we already have are pretty good, and our goal is to be as useful to our target audience as Tribe used to be (if not more so!)...the same audience of deviants, burners, perverts, visionaries, freaks, subversives, and general all-around individuals that made Tribe THE alternative to the MySpaces, LJs, and Friendsters of the world once upon a time.
