I’ve had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and fight the power?
There are so many other ways things are engineered to benefit the minority and prevent the majority from gaining power, why not this too?
Just a thought rattling around in my head.
Reddit & Twitter going to shit in the same time frme does make this theory seem plausible. Imho, we can usse this as an oppurtunity for people to decentralize. There will be teething problems, but decentralizing is actually safer for all those trying to organize and autocratic power.
It is definitely my hope that this leads to a decentralization that gives us a more robust and resilient system.
