We are still getting our ass whooped by those Silicon Valley tech overlords.
I see there a lot of you on here who still wants to fight. But the play field is far from even, I know it never was. But since Covid and The Steal there is no way we can fight them head on. The Censorship is unbearable and you have to be a fool to even try.
I know President Trump promised us that our voice will be heard.
So please hurry up GEOTUS before I'm getting impotent.
Short term solution: take control of existing platforms. The problem with this approach is that any fixes can be reversed over time, and then you are right back to where you started.
Long term solution: build competing platforms that have fixes to the problems built in so they can't be easily reversed. The long term solution is very difficult, and takes a long time... plus there is no guarantee they would be successful. The whole "build it and they will come" business model only works in crappy hollywood movies.
Aside from all the more obvious problems, one of the biggest hurdles is building platforms that scale out really well, and then perform really well at a large scale. Extra credit if you can accomplish this relatively inexpensively. Very few technical people know how to do any of these things in actuality (and the few that do tend to work at the big internet scale companies already).
