> We need more decentralization, moving the Web outside of big corps that censor "wrong think." We used to have Usenet, which was fairly decentralized in the sense that each server/provider could decide to ban some groups and admins and moderated groups could ban users. It didn't work so well, the same problems as today existed 25 years ago because similarly-inclined people banned opposing views or legal, but questionable content. Perhaps we just need smaller online communities? Not because there would be a different composition of views, but the lynch mobs and drama that affect every single user would be smaller and more manageable. > FB, Twitter, Reddit, etc. are "hive minds" They're just in the wrong hands, the power to censor and deplatform people is in the hand of too few individuals and organizations, some openly radical left.
