.@curtis_yarvin on how Facebook killed the ’90s dream of a decentralized internet and created a single pressure point for controlling speech: "In the '90s, we just assumed that everyone would have their own node on the network of the future." "Mark Zuckerberg comes along, and he's like, instead of building a social network, we just build a social server and we call it a social network. You were just a row in Facebook's database, and it worked great." "About 10 years later, people realized that there was this amazing pressure point which power could use to essentially manage speech in one place. Twitter had gone from the open forum of the public space to the open forum of the public space, but with unexplained disappearances." "There will be other elections, and these forces have by no means gone away." @urbit
