I'm really happy these topics are being discussed here on HN, when they weren't ~1 year ago. When considering a post-USA world, we also get to consider a post-Microsoft, post-Meta, post-Google, post-CloudFlare, post-Amazon, etc world.
I can't say I know much about how the EU operates or how quickly their Open Digital Ecosystems initiative could take shape, but this is a really opportune time to build a better tech industry.

- swed420 7mo agoCorey Doctorow's speech was noteworthy. For anyone who missed it: The Post-American Internet https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46509019 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46509019
- gpderetta 7mo ago> Make sure to check /active Thanks, TIL.
- jacquesm 7mo agoWe call it 'the better homepage'.
- GeoAtreides 7mo agotbf, less flagged posts hitting /active lately either they kill them early (delete them) or hn policy quietly changed
- mattmaroon 7mo agoI feel like it's ruining HN. The internet did not lack places to talk politics. The comments threads are a solid 20% anti-semitic dog whistles now.
- maybewhenthesun 7mo agoMaybe it's because stuff gets flagged and deleted. But I haven't really seen it? Unless you equalize 'critical of Israel' with 'antisemitic dogwhistle' maybe.
- mattmaroon 7mo agoI don’t.
- maybewhenthesun 7mo agook, the I apparently read different threads. Which is very well possible of course.
- mattmaroon 7mo agoThey can be tough to spot. (Which it sort of has to be to be a dog whistle.) Did you spot the one in that resignation letter the other day?
- squibonpig 7mo agoCould you give an example maybe?
- bko 7mo agoWhat does post-USA world mean? Who is the leader in culture, business, technology? The only other contender I can think of is China. And this is better?
- ndsipa_pomu 7mo agoMuch better. China is far more reliable and dependable than dealing with a lying narcissistic paedophile and his cronies.
- karmakurtisaani 7mo agoYou get downvotes, but even if China is an authoritarian oppressive regime, they are not going around starting wars and threatening their allies, changing directions daily.
- srean 7mo agoI am not Chinese. In fact we feel threatened by China. However, if China does come to occupy a majorly influential seat at the table it will not be the for the first time. The last time it did, it did not impose it's will beyond its boundaries. It is to be seen whether that repeats.
- hmm37 7mo agoGenerally, historically it didn't because of what happened during the Sui Dynasty, which was short lived. The lessons from that period is still fairly engrained in the mindsets of Chinese people.
- libertine 7mo agoCareful what you wish for, their History revisionism is remarkable and soon you'd find a narrative preaching that Western culture was all made up (in part by the usual suspects), not even the Holocaust will survive - just follow some social media trends and you'll see what's already happening.
- rozap 7mo agoThis thread doesn't appear on the homepage, it is only on /active So uh, threads with wrongspeak in them are still hidden.
