I'm drafting an anti-censorship speech against Canadian Bill-C9 to deliver on Saturday, in Windsor, Ontario.

The audience will likely be mostly religious and/or Conservative Party supporters. Not sure how many freedom folks will be there, certainly a bunch. More than half of our local freedom folks are Christians. It's a full spectrum of awareness, from those who know as much as me, to those who know little to nothing.

Of course general feedback is welcomed.

If you have the time and inclination, feel free to draft up some words to fill in where I've clearly not finished. (I have a busy couple weeks ahead. Out testing big speakers and mics today. Gonna get a mixer.) Clear, concise, catchy is preferred.

Progress will be updated:

I also plan on printing out copies to distribute - so folks can look up issues themselves. Also distributing invites as we're also hosting a couple meetings Sunday - an all-day freedom meeting/birthday, plus a creative media networking hub, unfortunately on the same day.

Text post, didn't get +3.

Text posts don't have a bonus attached to them. I'm debating adding a +1 to it, but even that's not a thing right now. The +3 is the comment bonus. Have three pretty recent comments and get +3 on your next post. +3 is a lot. But it's meant to be a pretty steep incentive to avoid a wall of zero-comment posts.

Different kinds of users tend to either post more or comment more or vote more. I just managed to get 90% users who like to post more than other things. That's not bad but it would be nice if we had more folks with the other profile. And unfortunately, there is a positive feedback loop. Low commenting leads to low commenting because there are fewer comments to comment off of. Then users mainly interested in commenting will have a higher attrition rate and have a lower adoption rate. But I'd rather use a carrot because posting itself is good. I don't want to punish people who post. I want to reward people who comment. So the idea is to figure out how to get at least a few of the people who are motivated to post to help recessitate the comment situation. I can ask. But ultimately, that ask post only lasts for a day. It would get old if I posted it every day. So I can create an incentive that people motivated to post will benefit from. That's the logic anyway.

So that's why no bonus is as high as that one. +3 is practically too much, but apparently not. I may have to increase it. That or reduce the requirement to two comments, with one of them being a first comment on a post, so that we get more conversation starts.
