My point is that we cannot hope to dictate in advance what public platforms should look like, how they should be structured, and so on. Instead, we need to let people decide what they want to treat as a public platform and then base decisions around that. It's what's going to happen anyway. We may as well spare ourselves the wasted effort. I haven't failed to recognize the issues you raise. I have opted to let them be until we collectively know what we actually want our public platforms to look like, as expressed through individual choices. Please, I beg of you sir, do not mistake silence on a subject for an explicit endorsement of corporatism.
