I find it hard to parse the intent of this. Are you saying this is good or bad? I think it’s good; I want my communications to be “uncontained,” even if there are downsides to this approach.
I do not believe in such a thing as “The Common Good,” to be quite frank, and find your mention of the concept to be alarming. What is “good” is relative across individuals, cultures, and situations. I certainly have my own beliefs about it but I don’t believe they should be enforced at the technological level.
Most people working on decentralization tech understand this innately. It’s not about reinforcing majoritarian views of what society is or should be.
