Dystopian, actually. It promotes (and depends on) a nihilistic view that trust cannot be built, that it can only decline over time. This may be true or false. But it's not 'utopian'.
- fleddr 4y agoI'd say that trust does not scale. Every online community that gets huge, tends to get ruined over time.
- aussiesnack 4y agoThat's an argument on the 'true' side of the ledger for said nihilism. Personally I think it's far too early to tell, with the Internet being so new, and thus far largely dominated by a single historically very singular (polite for 'odd') culture. But justified or not, giving up on genuine trust at any level of society isn't by any definition utopian.
