The elephant in the room is the size distribution of "other people's kingdoms". Having oversized kingdoms and overbearing kings is not a god-given parameter, its down to regulation, political and economic choices. Its not for nothing that the current digital world has been called neo-feudal.

The real solution is to force these kingdoms to build permanently open gates and roadways that connect the land, increase all around traffic and opportunity.

Only when people turn from digital vassals to digital citizens will we emerge from the middle ages we are currently in. In this sense the most important development in the online world is still ahead if us.

Or, maybe reside on large platforms partially or temporary.

There is an existing solution to not having to put in massive efforts to get massive private companies change their ways a tiny bit.

The open web.

We can build any web we want, at any time.

And build we should.

All large communities were small once.

Starting a community and being a part of a small community is the only way they will grow.

Maybe forums like HN and forums of the past have some of that right still.

And maybe we can give what we want our attention, instead of it being gamified away from us.
