Email, ActivityPub, and Wordpress are decentralized publishing communication standards. Email one-to-many distribution / spam being the thing youre ignoring. Facebook and Twitter are proprietary, centralized, and closed systems.
Shifting the conversation from publishing to the audience, completely glosses over the actual minutia at hand.
- zaroth 7y agoLiterally no one is censoring email, or even discussing the possibility of censoring emails, unless you’re into totalitarian regimes. OP meant to say publishing platforms not communication provider because of course there is absolutely no natural monopoly for email providers, but clearly natural monopolies for social networks. Spam is a nuisance. It’s simply not how someone reaches 100 million followers.
- basch 7y agoPlatforms can be decentralized. Look at WordPress. You can host it anywhere. ActivityPub let's you build federated interconnected social networks, an interoperable solution like email.
