Yeah I don't think another venture backed software company can solve this at all. The technical challenges behind hosting 140-character text snippets aren't huge. Obviously scale makes everything harder but the real challenge to this much user-generated content is moderation. And SV's juvenile obsession with libertarian values will just result in them reinventing 4chan over and over again. The next iteration of social media should be non-profit with explicit content guidelines that put safety and civility ahead of pure freedom. The platform has to be useable and enjoyable.
