generally yeah, the masively imbalanced power structure of what elon himself called a public forum being top down dictated & controlled by a private company with zero responsibility to the world is a shitshow mess. this is like the national usa budget, where 813 billion is spent on military & defense, 40m is spent countering china, and less than 40m is spent on international assistance, domestic relief concerns, basically general do gooding. if musk had been willing to spend a couple million to support actual public forums, tried supporting ActivityPub or Mastodon or other efforts, this money could have gone a long long long long way. instead of breaking the problem apart & trying to find creative solutions, musk &al are putting all their eggs in owning/controlling/manipulating the one authoritarian semi-public-but-actually-totally-private media system we have. for all Jack's talk about being sorry for leading to centralization, for all everyone's mismay at relying so heavily on a flawed & fickle twitter, there seems to be nearly no one willing to put money to something they cant control & own personally. if you love it you've got to set it free. simple as can be. the world needs to own their mediums. some day!
