For decades, any time internet censorship came up, there was always someone who quoted John Gilmore's "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." What happened? Did you all give up? Is the utopia really over? You're just gonna let it fall into disrepair and die? Back in the day, when utopia was being built, they designed things to be decentralized and self hosted. Like smtp, nntp, ldap. Think about that when you complain about Facebook (glorified, centralized ldap) being blocked.
