Sa adoh aku ngerti, Freecycle ngidini wong kanggo nindakake liyane perdagangan-free iku, supaya sampeyan bisa argue sing kudu ditambahake menyang direktori- dipun promosiaken apik, prilaku bebas perdagangan. Iki ngidini wong bisa nuduhake lan nggunakake maneh barang, lan enggo bareng lan nggunakake maneh antarane wong ora ana perdagangan.. But this kind of reminds me of Couchsurfing.com- Couchsurfing also makes a good trade-free thing possible: people are able to share their space (couch, spare bedroom, whatever.) trade-free with others, so that others have a free place to sleep. It promotes a great trade-free service between people, so I could see why someone might want to add Couchsurfing to the directory. However, the service that Couchsurfing provides is not trade-free accommodation for people, the service that it provides is a website where people can connect with each other. And unfortunately, that website is not trade-free. At first, they put ads on their website and collected data, then they started pushing this “verification” money-making scheme, and now, they’ve locked people out of their own accounts if they don’t pay a monthly fee to access the website. So although Couchsurfing makes a good trade-free service possible between people, the organization itself does not offer a trade-free service. And that’s what this trade-free directory is all about- what these organizations offer.

Sa adoh aku ngerti, iku jenis crita sing padha karo Freecycle- padha ngidini wong kanggo bisa kanggo kurban bab perdagangan-free kanggo saben liyane, nanging layanan padha nyedhiyani (situs web sing nyambung wong-wong iki) ora bener perdagangan-free amarga nuduhake sampeyan iklan lan ngumpulake data.

Youtube posts ads next to videos and collects people’s data. One can see that as still ok since “all websites collect data” and that many websites post ads to maybe “support” themselves. However this does not make them trade-free. You have to trade your attention and data in order to access Youtube. There is no other way. Youtube won’t let you use their service without these trades. Freecycle is the same in the sense that no one can disable their ads or stop them from collecting people’s data. Thus, you HAVE to trade your attention and data to Freecycle. There is no other way that you can use their service. So, it makes this service NOT trade-free. Regardless of why they have ads on their website or collect data, for me it is not trade-free.

But I consider this anything but trade-free: https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Pasted-4.jpg – I understand if they lack funding, but that does not mean to put ads into their website if they want to provide a genuine platform for people to share stuff. It’s like duckduckgo saying that it’s trade-free. Yes they do not collect your data, but they also put some ads in their search: https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Pasted-4.png

Yen dheweke pengin nyedhiyakake platform bebas perdagangan, mula kudu ngandelake sumbangan, nanging ora kanggo nonton iklan.

Lan ing ndhuwur, dheweke duwe sawetara pelacak sing surem: https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Pasted-5.png

Freecycle is a pioneer in enabling people to gift to each other. Almost all websites collect our data and it would be best if they didn’t but that is no reason to completely reject them as a trade-free network. Adds are one of the only forms people can get funding for providing services at no cost, it is best if we can avoid them but they aren’t a good enough reason to reject a TFnetwork.

Sanajan bisa ditindakake, freecycle minangka pionir sing apik ing jagad bebas perdagangan lan paling ora kudu diakoni minangka pilihan.

Aku ora bakal nambah menyang direktori, amarga padha kebak iklan, ngumpulake data liwat google-analytics lan promosi situs ing jaringan basis perdagangan kaya twitter lan facebook. Dadi dheweke pengin perhatian lan data sampeyan. Yen sampeyan pengin nyedhiyakake jaringan ing ngendi wong bisa menehi lan entuk barang kanthi gratis, mangga mung nglakoni. Aja ngumpulake data, aja pasang iklan utawa promosi layanan basis perdagangan. Aku ngerti bisa uga angel njaga situs web kasebut, nanging mung ngandelake sumbangan - yen sampeyan ana ing lereng sing lunyu lan cepet-cepet wong kudu verifikasi akun utawa mbayar dhuwit sithik kanggo nggunakake situs web sampeyan kaya ing kasus couchsurfing ...
