Another way out of this mess is to sell to a chinese buyer. They may censor anyone who is critical of china, but at least they ll treat left and right equally bad.

IRC was/is notoriously unfree because of that, i dont think it claimed any free speech creds, because its realtime nature means that spam or bad faith had to be removed immediately. plus the 'acted like adults' thing is not t

Media politics are just as bad as they always were. Typically TV and newspapers are ran at a loss by people who carry out political favors. I wonder how twitter users feel about being herded around like this

This is going to happen , and it will be driven by the availability of high-speed home connections. More and more users will start self-hosting things they outsource not simply becuase they have control, but it's also better.
