The problem, I feel, is that both centralisation and decentralisation are a danger to democracy. Centralisation because it enables elites within the tech/media/state to conspire together to wield much more power within a "dem

I've used both but generally don't use stash. I think it's more expressive to have a single commit like "wip: some simple description goes here" and then to `git commit --amend` this until we are happy with its cont

Why would a free-speech "purist" be okay with authorities having special abilities to append emphasized messages below other messages? People that care deeply about free-speech tend to want a level playing ground for every person
