You do nothing, with the exception of a caveat explaining the internet
is probably much more dangerous to you than you think, and you should >seriously consider everything you do on it carefully. People should
already know this, but people are dumb and need to be told.
Because, I don't trust you to be the one to make the changes and decide
what is acceptable, and you probably would feel the same about me doing
it. Just leave it alone and it will sort itself out.

There's no such thing as a perfect Anarcho-Utopia, whether Wild West,
Fight Club, pseudo-governments on abandoned off-shore platforms, or
sovereign citizen movements. The world will not accept the argument of, "Well, we warned you, so it's not our fault," nor the empty promise of,
"If you just leave us alone, we will only hurt those that consent to
it." Efforts at "100% free speech" platforms will always fail, because
they can't stay in the test tube, and the world will intrude.
Besides, I don't think that anyone here is running for Dictator of the Internet. Certainly not me. If anything, I have advocated for community-based consensus, administration, and governance.

Wasn't Roger Carasso the self-proclaimed Dictator of the Internet?

Seems that he was an interesting Net.Legend. The closest quote that I
could find from him was that he claimed to be the "FOUNDER of the
Internet." Of course, that isn't true, either.
