Again with the nonsense insults. I'm not deranged enough to organise a raid on some else's community that has done nothing to affect yours. Nothing.

No, I never claimed that. New The30s will almost certainly never be as "great" in terms of development than servers such as NA2, New Blood, etc... That's because they are much older. But we don't want another NA2 clone, that's what NA2 is for. We like our server for what it is, and we like NA2 for what NA2 is. All I'm saying is the servers would be much happier and would have developed so much quicker if the democratic system was put into place. And there'd be a lot better selection of servers to enjoy.

Again, if you have valid arguments that the system is flawed which I haven't already responded to, then go ahead. But this system has been functioning in a well-developed community for about two years now, and the server certainly isn't going to collapse as it grows. The system only gets better and better. Yes, servers can choose which features they add, and if one chooses a feature and another doesn't, then so be it. That's their democratic system at play. It is better if there are democratic systems everywhere than for people to just keep creating servers because they don't like any of them. And if most servers did actually know what their players wanted, then there'd be more than a handful of servers which people would actually enjoy.

Again, I'm not trying to fulfil a dick measuring contest — that wasn't the point of this post. Yes, the leadership of the server is arguably a better system because it gives the ordinary people the rights to vote on the issues that matter in their server. The Republicans have nothing to do with our server and telling me that democracy is a bad system because some Trumpists in the U.S. are restricting people's rights (which is not a democracy) is an inherently flawed argument.

That's assuming the Moderators will do such, which is not guaranteed unless in a democratic system where Moderators can just be voted off if they embody such harmful characteristics.

You are correct, good builds do not quantify hard work. However, what I am saying is that the abolishment of autocracy and the rise of democracy within our community has done nothing but good for itself, and the rights of the Members, the Conference, the Moderators, the Owner and OD alike. The democratic system is the way forward to push change and eliminate harmful causes of toxicity and discrimination in a given community, and progress way faster than without.

None of this is the point, really.

Clearly just terrible builds.

Yeah, looks like a chromie freebuild to me.

Clearly you do not play our server enough to appreciate the quality of builds, and the great community assembled out of the ashes of violence. Our builders are like no other, our Moderators have an impenetrable yet forgiving heart that understand the needs of others and pour hours into a loving community, our Owner who has built the server from an inactive low-quality freebuild to a flourishing, vibrant community full of great maps, worlds, and myself, who is here, promoting freedom and through a thick smog of discrimination and reactionaries. No, our server is not just "another freebuild," and your characterisation of it as such tells me all I need to know about your stance on prejudice and accepting others.

I mean this by less low-quality generic freebuild servers and more well-developed, democratic and prosperous servers where the people get the say in the decisions of their community.

Yes, the American education system must be doing wonders if you can't comprehend that not everyone lives in the U.S.

Replying to SpaceDot and icanttellyou, this system has already been on trial for just about two years in several servers in our community, so I can say our model means the people are happier, the server is freer, and there are less servers popping up overall because everyone is united in a democratic system. I did a census yesterday (which is why I was joining so many servers), and I found that 4 in 69 servers prohibit languages other than English from being spoken in public chat. That's 69 "actual" servers (not including ones who haven't even changed the server name or rules) on the ClassiCube server list. Only about 20 or 30 of those maximum are actually worth playing. Don't you think that'd be a whole lot less if the community was more united? And on the Ownership thing, no, you don't just give a random person Owner. It is through a democratic process in which you hold a referendum that players can vote on who they think is suitable for Owner. Then, an Owner will be sworn in with limited powers, A.K.A. they can't delete your server, they can't change the config or mess up any settings, etc... The point of the Owner is to hold the referendums for important issues that the people are campaigning for, not to be given unrestricted power like the Owner has on most models to date. Replying to matthilde, I'm not pretending to be anything. I know that this isn't "real" activism, of course, it's just Minecraft Classic. And yes, the community does care, just maybe not your little secluded area. Our communiity risen up against the old system and built a new one in its place, without discrimination. On the Great Liberation, this was given the name because it was a landmark event in seeing how the community reacted to fascist and reactionary propaganda. No, it wasn't literally destroying the swastikas that was the "Liberation," it was how our community banded together to show that we care about this. So no, you shouldn't be tired of this. And if you really are tired of change, you can join those conservative Discord servers. I'm sure their open to inviting more reactionaries on their server.

It's not "ChatGPT generated." Again, the CFA is a mutual alliance; if you're not interested, we aren't either. How are these freedoms guaranteed? What "successful" societies work off authoritarian regimes? These are the questions I am asking.

Sorry, wrong choice of words. Under the guidance of democracy, I should say. We are guided by democracy to make our communities better. The essence of the CFA is to provide the Members ("Guests") to rule the server in which they form the majority of. Not the Moderators, not the Owner. The Members have the right to determine the future of their server. Not to say that Moderators have less rights, of course. Everyone should have equal rights. You aren't forced to join the CFA, rather it is a mutual decision that benefits you, your community, the rest of the community and everyone as a whole. The Members, the Conference, and the Moderators propose ideas to the Owner which must (keyword, must) be voted on if such garners enough support. Yes, the Owner can choose what gets voted on, but he cannot suppress what the community wants either. Otherwise, that is not a functioning democratic system, and if the server is a Server Forming the Alliance, its membership will be revoked. Dank Memer does not accurately represent our community and their intelligence to use basic voting powers. Again, that's Dank Memer for goodness' sake. As for "Ownership," that is ridiculous. Servers clearly know who is and isn't their Owner, and they should vote on it accordingly, along with the Moderators. Again, the CFA is a mutual alliance, not a one-way system. I'm not forcing you to partner with the CFA. As for the last bit, that's just silly. In no way does the working people who formed this alliance as a result of the overthrowing of the oligarchs want their alliance and its white cross over a red banner to resemble the USSR or any totalitarian socialist state of the 20th century. That's not democracy, nor freedom.

You've completely misunderstood the point of the CFA. Our alliance is there to guarantee rights to the regular players (the Members, "Guests"), the Moderators and Admins alike. You are not "overthrown" by the CFA, rather through a democratic process will your server enter the CFA, and under the guidance of democracy will it contribute to the community. You certainly don't have to "ask" every time you want to ban someone. Again, the CFA encourages unity through independence from tyrannical administrations, and Servers Forming the Alliance have the right to rule by their own jurisdiction aided by the CFA, not ruled by it.

I speak here today to shed light on a fundamental truth that has shaped the course of history: the inseparable bond between freedom and democracy. For centuries, the majority has suffered under the weight of oppression, deprived of their right to self-governance. However, it is through the tireless efforts of social movements that the world has witnessed transformative change, and it is in this spirit that we find ourselves at a critical juncture. In the 19th and 20th centuries, social movements emerged across the globe, shaking the foundations of societal norms and challenging oppressive systems. These movements fought for the emancipation of individuals, the recognition of human rights, and the establishment of democratic ideals. They sought to dismantle structures that held power in the hands of a few, paving the way for a more equitable and just society. Following their great examples, in 2021, a remarkable shift occurred within our community, as our pro-democracy movements began to take shape. The30s, now New The30s, led the charge for freedom and democracy within the community. They rejected the notion of an authoritative regime where Moderators and Admins held inconsolable power over the community, waging change against AlwaysClassic and their old, damaging ways. Instead, they championed the rights of individuals, striving for inclusivity, transparency, and the empowerment of all Members, Conference, Moderators and Owners. Building upon these movements of the past and present, the Classical Freedom Alliance, or CFA, was established in 2023. Comprising of respected servers such as Cube Igloo Cafe, New The30s, PopBob Anarchy Server, and The Winters, the CFA embodies the spirit of change and progress. Its formation signifies a collective commitment to preserving the legacy of those who fought for freedom and democracy in the past. To the Moderators and Admins of ClassiCube servers today, I implore you to consider the significance of this moment. By entering your server into the CFA, you have the opportunity to transcend the limitations of a dictatorship-like governance structure. Embracing freedom and democracy within your community will not only empower your members but also serve as a beacon against discrimination and oppression that persists elsewhere. For so long, the establishments have continued to try and regain their former grasp over their power, and deny the change that lead to our communities becoming what they are now. Let us remember that freedom and democracy are not mere abstract concepts. They are the lifeblood of progress and the embodiment of human dignity. As we stand united under the banner of the CFA, let us work tirelessly to ensure that these ideals flourish, not only within our online communities, but also throughout the world. The struggles of the past have taught us that freedom and democracy are intertwined, indivisible, and paramount to the progress of humanity. Our community has witnessed the birth of movements for the pursuit of the working people, the formation of the CFA, and now stands at a crucial crossroads. Together, let us forge a future where freedom and democracy prevail, where discrimination is confronted, and where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Thank you for your attention, and may the torch of freedom and democracy continue to illuminate our path forward. Power to the people!

Update: changed (C6H10O5)n from Wood to White Cotton as using that block is much more accurate.

The above image is a fairly accurate representation of chemical substances as blocks in ClassiCube. Some liberties have been taken to create this build, mainly: Stone (CaCO3) is correct assuming the type of rock is chalk; Glass (SiO2) is correct assuming the type of glass is made from silicon dioxide sand; TNT (C7H5N3O6) is correct — however, as its pure chemical representation, it would be in a powdered form rather than boxed up in a container like the Minecraft block; Wood is not correct, as the chemical formula (C6H10O5)n is for cellulose — however, (C6H10O5)n is the closest representation of wood you can get to as a singular chemical formula, and I did want to include it in my build. I hope you enjoyed this creative insight. If you want to take a look at the build yourself, and expand on these by building your own, head over to New The30s on the ClassiCube server list. The build mentioned in located on world14, which is currently the main world — therefore, you should be able to locate it easily. Everyone is welcome, even if you think you're not. Thank you for reading this, and have a great time! Peace and love.
