If you are the wrong kind of communist, it's off to the gulag
Yep
I agree what you said earlier @Misomania
But the right kinds of communists seem to do pretty well financially
I think the new right is more libertarian
But this is a unique problem for that since it deals with private companies limiting speech to those people
for that we have to refer to what they call gravity then
So the solution is naturally to have a company which claims to be open to hate speech or any speech
treating the platform like a blackhole and seeing how it distorts and warps those things around it
But we have to hope some rich libertarian or just some rich guy funds a libertarian company to replace or compete with patreon
once large enough a platform attracts people to it by sheer size alone, it controls everything around it and warps all of reality around it. Even if it lost all safeharbour it would still consume and destroy everything around it by sheer mass alone
So what then
We boycott all social media
There's a better way- fuck big social media sites
regulation is all we have, monopoly busting
We destroy our phones
They're trash anyway
Since I'm actually left leaning libertarian, I say we force companies to allow any kind of speech
Twitter, Facebook et al have never been good. They never will be good
Why should be allow our corporations to censor us if we believe we shouldn't be censored
spam is a serious problem though, allowing any kind of speech at all is a bad idea but i agree with the general idea
You don't own their business
Spam can be dealt with
@Gilgamesh if these big companies weren't beyond the critical mass point where they become social blackholes yes. But they are far far far to big and influential now
Then what is the answer
Rely on the rich?
That is antithetical
same thing we did for ma bell
Stop using them. Go back to chat rooms, forums, make use of the blockchain services
i think the ultimate issue is the payment processors, you can make your own platform but if they payment processors dont like you you're fucked no matter what
What, we all go back to 4chan?
so do the hosts, the name domains, etc
>auto URLs it
I'm not new, I just stopped lurking like ten years ago
I'm not talking about 4chan m80
we're at the point that this situation cannot be resolved any other way then forcefully breaking them up with monopoly laws
Lol
Look
The issue of too many people voluntarily using Twitter? How do you break that up?
I think Alex Jones is a shill. But he was banned across several platforms that are not owned by the same people within a day or two.
