@researchfairy decentralise and open source internet search. I don’t trust the government any more with the internet than I do corporates.
-
@kestral I mean, I agree that government involvement can fuck things up, yes
But starting from decentralization is kind of how we ended up in this situation isn't it?
We had a bunch of competing search engines, but due to network effects, we all settled on one, which eventually killed off the others
(Idk maybe I'm reading the situation wrong)
-
@researchfairy @kestral Maybe we don't want decentralised but distributed? Federated? Co-operative?
-
@petrichor @kestral I just want whoever's running it to have a mandate that's separate from the profit motive

@researchfairy that’s fair yeah that’s fair
