> I thought this space was revolutionary at first too.

Seems like you don't understand my frustration at all.

I don't care about revolutions. I don't want disruptions. I want alternatives that can (at least) be viable for the current global systems. I want people to have the option to adopt something that can work for their situation without forcing them into a Procrustean Bed. I want to have more tools at the disposal of societies that can help them establish effective checks and balances.

> Personally, I've also seen very little innovation and actual usage.

You know what is funny? The same thing can be said about the Free Software movement. Detractors of FOSS love to point out that most open source projects are just copycats of the then-established projects. Plenty of people (even here very highly skilled people on Hacker News) will say that they have no interest in using Linux on the Desktop because it is not "convenient" for them.

Still, I don't care about the "lack of adoption". I don't need to convert the majority of people in order to have FOSS working for me.
