If people would stop fluttering from one walled garden to the next, and embrace an open Web, they wouldn't have these problems.
It's not entirely the users' fault, but people need to learn to be smart consumers -- er, participants -- because many business leaders and techies have conflicts of interest wrt an open Web.
- redserk 2y agoThe Open Web does not necessarily solve this problem. Someone has to pay for hosting and the time spent needing to moderate and ensure content is legal. While there are a number of enthusiasts willing to put up with the cost and time to run a service with the general public, it's not sustainable either. How many people actually chipped in to pay for hosting costs 15 years ago?
- neilv 2y ago> Someone has to pay for hosting and the time spent needing to moderate and ensure content is legal. I don't know what capital-O "Open Web" is. Unfortunately, "distributed" has been tainted by cryptographic token scammers. I mean start with the original ideas of the Web, and go from there. Things don't have to look like centralized grabs of user eyeballs (along with moderation), proprietary or not.
