What kind of power are you hoping to gain? Power to say anything you want, or power to prevent abuse. I don't think you can have both.

- h0p3 6y agoI appreciate your willingness to reason carefully about this problem. I may not understand your point, so please walk me through it, if you have the time and energy to teach a young man. At the very least, would you agree it is possible to have a context where anyone can say what they want (perhaps something we all infrastructurally support and protect) while also having other contexts in which each user controls who their moderators and search/feed signalers will be? Isn't it worthwhile to work for both?
- arkanciscan 6y agoAnyone can say anything they want? What if I want to say what your address is and when you are home, and which of your doors is easiest to force open? Even if you had the ability to hide this content from yourself, wouldn't you prefer to hide it from those who would like to use it to harm you?
