“Instead of individual, centralized websites there will be an interconnected network of encyclopedias. This means the same topic can be treated in completely different ways.”

Yay, now we’ll have a new wikipedia which will also present russian take on Ukraine invasion, Chinese take on Tianmen massacre and a flat-earthers corner for their “truth”. I think internet already covers that…

@tryptaminev Why? It would not take away anything from volunteer infrastructure, but would add safety options.

Volunteer servers need users to trust their admins with no grounds for that, but the fact that they “want to run a community”, which also implies that they have personal politics and power over you. Fedi should not be only for existing communities. Also, there’s financial stability as noted above.

And there are some grounds to trust your democratic representatives, aren’t there.

@stabby_cicada I think digital public space is as important as physical public space. A lot of this communication space is well provided by private people and companies, but to ensure freedom nation states must also invest in it. Just like physical public space, it is a common good, a res-publica.
