- jabbadabbadooba 8y agoIt's like people pretend the internet has been around for ages and things just are unable to change anymore.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoHandwaving away criticism by saying, "People in the past have been wrong about things before" isn't really addressing anything.
- qop 8y ago??? I already addressed it. Without censorship, decentralized products can thrive. And they currently are. HN's response was "but they're not very big!!!1!"
- satsuma 8y agoi'm not sure that's a valid argument. cars have a clearly tangible benefit above riding horseback, even early automobiles. what's the tangible benefit to a decentralized system like this other than twitter/facebook/social media company not owning your data? the parent comment to my initial post said the absence of censorship, but anecdotally the kinds of people i've seen going to "censorship-free" alternative sites are the kinds i don't particularly care to associate with. voat.co being the "shining" example
