Good points but I think internet as we know it now will evolve over time. Spaniards leaving Twitter for GNU social was interesting article, emphasizes the shortcomings of centralized services. I truly believe in future things would not be like today and maybe not easy to block as they are today.
- nickysielicki 12y agoSomething that I'm a big proponent of is that its likely impossible to persuade the masses to move to something new if it doesn't provide a large advantage for them. We need a social network that improves on Facebook and Twitter, not just in terms of preventing censorship, but in UX and performance and what it provides to boring Average Joe. It also cannot have any disadvantage. Forgive my lack of imagination here but I don't know if that's actually going to be possible. How can we create a distributed platform that Average Joe can use? Facebook requires only an email address, and all his friends are already on it. It's not impossible, but it is difficult, and I just don't see it happening.
