@ntnsndr Why?
Please explain as if to someone not in your political/ideological/social bubble.

@light @ntnsndr The major social media platforms (at least Meta, X, and TikTok) are now in the thrall of a single political leader. The ability to have dissident speech now depends on having networks that are not similarly capture-able.

@ntnsndr To my mind, that means P2P networks and darknets.
Only then can we have truly free speech.
But they needn't be ungoverned.
They can be designed with new forms of governance, unconstrained by the implicit feudalism of the old.

@ntnsndr For example, Aether (a Reddit-like) had democratic and individualistic moderation (collectively vote on default moderation for newcomers but your vote is your moderator regardless): https://getaether.net/
And Cabal Chat has what they call "subjective moderation" (choose your own moderators): https://cabal.chat/
