i'm hyped for federated social media if for no reason other than that it forces the free-speech people to confront the world in which they unambiguously have free speech, and find themselves ignored more than before. but that only works for the everyday free-speech libertarian, not the actual egotistical. i watched the CTO of a prominent defense contractor cry "censorship" when they weren't allowed to present at an open source tech conference unless they removed all company branding from their slides. as if the arms dealers are the ones at the wrong end of the power struggle; as if Elon Musk with an audience of tens of millions is the victim of society. i don't know what to call that view toward individual liberties except for literal delusion.
