Just like in the USSR

for a while at least, then when no longer useful they need to be... retired

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

>blockchain and forums are 4chan
HowNew.ru

>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
