And the unmoderated spaced of before don't exist any more (Usenet), because companies didn't make money on it. Or worse, because it violated some company's "right".
Now, in order to speak, you nearly have to go through one of Their gateways. If you piss off FAMGA (Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon), you're gone off the net. Some of those gatekeepers are big scripts with no human intervention for your level. If you fall between the cracks, then you have no recourse, other than find a place like HN and beg publicly - lest you get shitcanned by the HN gatekeepers.

- musage 9y agoI don't see why the burden to "make ends meet" in a totally scorched landscape should be on those not scorching it, with those looking the other way preaching to them from a supposed moral high horse. Stuff like the right to confront your accuser is totally lost with these companies as well as on HN. But don't worry, even being on the wrong side of history you'll still be in history.
