@ntnsndr I've seen two of your talks, and there's always a bunch of 'what abouts', which is understandable.
But what I haven't heard is, "ok, I think we can do it in this space -- here's what we might try".
It won't surprise you when I say I filter what you say through the example of the fediverse. The fedi does have the 'implicit feudalism' baggage but the problem is not insurmountable.
