the days of usenet, irc, the web...even email (w PGP)...were amazing. centralizing discovery and identity into corporations really damaged the internet. I realize I'm partially to blame, and regret it.

I wouldn't say you're to blame. Early technical choices put us all on the path to the current state of capture by centralized entities. The lack of self-owned identity is the original sin of the Web, and most other issues stem from the lack of a person-centered data control model

I’m not smart enough to understand what U mean but I do know U created a great space for people like me to have a very meaningful voice. This space when used kindly allows people to call out corps and to 🤞🏼Nft their life. Where else can we do this without meta tracking? 🙏🏼 ThankU

It created a space for people who do not deserve a "voice" to have a "voice" to a very small reciprocal audience. Creating echo chambers and amplifying their beliefs way beyond anything they deserve.
