poorly thought out aspirations then.
Many of the communication outlets through this utility have as well their own web infrastructure, hopefully serving as a single source of truth, whether that looks like wsj.com or whitehouse.gov. Interestingly enough the W3C has a recommendation to publish activities through an interoperable manner. There's even talk of putting the Bluesky protocol through whatever process the IETF uses to create a request for comments.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoIt’s “poorly thought out” to want there to exist truly public infrastructure that’s of the rough shape of Twitter? I personally would love not having every viable tool of propaganda owned by private interests totally free of any Constitutional obligations. A public utility Twitter would surely be inferior in many ways, but IMO would be a useful counterbalance to have in the mix of platform options. Your comment makes sense if the social value of Twitter was exclusively posting links from other actual sources of truth, but it’s not. That’s not even the primary source of social value in a free society (it’s the dialogue).
