The way I look at it is that deplatforming by the existing centralized platforms is actually a way for them to create a more powerful moat.
Any competitor will immediately be inundated by spam, scammers, child porn, trolls, and Nazis to name a few. Since bad drives away good this will make their platform less desirable. The existence of a highly toxic refugee population deters anyone from creating competing networks.
I don't think this was planned or intended, but it works out this way.
- Robotbeat 5y agoThat’s really well put & I hadn’t thought of things that way before. I think the solution is very active moderation and barriers put in the place of new account creation. (Gotta rely on a community of people who already want to be a community.)
