Crabgrass? Not heard of it before. Playing the interrogator: Why would I use it? What protocols and formats does it speak? Where's the zip or tar.gz download? Why isn't the source checkout page https://we.riseup.net/cgdev/get-involved linked from http://riseuplabs.org/crabgrass/ ? Is it GPL or AGPL (the pages say both at different places)? If AGPL, is linking to the main site sufficient source code distribution for the unmodified parts? It seems that mattl@gnu is also working on something: http://identi.ca/conversation/8062155 PSYC looks interesting and I’d encourage current XMPP developers to look at it closely, but I’m not sure how I’d use it for social network websites without rebuilding lots of things.

Once their precious government takes over everything, they will be the ones doing the blocking, and Facebook will be a department in the propaganda ministery. Why would leftists care about blocking?
