    Imagine believing that a service as important as a “global town square” should be a private company.

      The news, as always, is conflating capitalism with freedom and truth. Capitalism promises neither, only money.

      Do you think it should be run by the (US) government instead?

      I’m pretty lefty and think the government should be large and powerful, but not like that.

      Fediverse is the best compromise I’ve seen, still private but a little bit democratic because of instance hopping if you don’t like the policies of the one you started on.
