How a Small Group of New Hampshire Reps Control the State Legislature
(frontrowseatnh.substack.com)
The movement started with the pledge in 2003, but they didn't get 20,000 pledged to move until 2016. Many of the early movers are still active today.
That article refers to the Free Town project, which was a precursor to the Free State Project. That writer seemed to think having less government was bad ๐คท Here is a link to the book, it's a good read.
Today, we have pro-liberty state representatives representing about 20% of the state house. There's lots of liberty events and groups throughout the state. I assure you it's working. ๐

The devs at SearXNG have a bot that regularly scans the public instances for changes to the source code and delists them as a public instance if it's altered.
If you go to https://searx.space/, they show the results of the scans for each instance.
The software is free and open source. You are encouraged to inspect the code yourself to make sure no data is collected!
