#### Addressing common objections
There are three typical arguments against using Revolt that I should tackle here.
1. *"Revolt will be a walled garden like Discord and therefore not crawlable."* I believe that private, ephemeral conversations should remain private. We can curate and surface the best technical discussions into a public wiki so important knowledge isn’t lost.

2. *“Abner is a dictator."* Guilty as charged. I’m running this as a BDFL, with a decade of organizing Handmade since my early college days. There’s an escape hatch though, because every meetup host can dump their mailing list locally. I don't lock people in. This cuts both ways too: hosts who violate [community values](/about) -- e.g. running meetups sponsored by Microsoft -- are cut off from the water tap. They won't be able to send newsletters nor access new subscribers to the mailing list.
