MODERATORS
The more I read stories about Reddit cutting off third-party clients, Twitter turning hostile and YouTube trying to kick out people who run an adblocker, the more I start to think these media platforms should be run by non-profit entities. Fund it with donations, open source all the technical components.
The internet should be a utility so I kinda like where you're going here
reddit did both of those originally
but when they started taking private VC money they had to start making returns on that investment which spiraled into the current situation
