    Would a fork be the solution to avoid having a system that is crucial for people worldwide cease to be a weapon at the hands of merrican politicians?

      It’ll be at the hands of whatever jurisdiction the forker is in. It’s not like you can escape governments.

      This kind of thing is the inevitable outcome of US policy to “decouple”, which they are pushing. Take something they nominally control, kick out every designated enemy / enemy collaborator, and then watch as an alternative pops up among the " enemy" and ban its purchase or use.

      Would a fork be technically viable if Americans and American businesses can’t participate (because the fork works with SDN entities)? Maybe.
