I can't wait for https://www.deso.org/ to take off, not just for the value of the coin to increase, but to see lots of nodes taking over the responsibility of twitter/fb/youtube etc's what's okay and what's not. There will be someone willing to run a node that has all the stuff blocked or unblocked to suit everyone's tastes.

Isn't that how the different Matrix servers work already?

Anybody can run their own platform right now without involving any cryptononsense. That's how the net used to work after all. Anybody failing to understand what lead to the centralization is bound to reproduce the same mistakes. It's not a technical issue, it's a social one.

I'm a believer after watching "The Next Big Social Media Network Will Be On the Blockchain. Nader Al-Naji Tells Us Why." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFiPVGN3J2M

Incentives! You have to listen to Nader Al-Naji explain the vision. It gives me goosebumps.

This isn't a knock on you personally, but when I come to HN for discussion, I'd like the discussion to be on HN.

Insisting that I view some YouTube (which I avoid like the plague because I hate their business model) content in order to understand your point of view, just makes me want to ignore you. Not down-vote you, just ignore you.

It sounds like you have a point of view that seems (to you at least) important. If it's that important/relevant/insightful, then please explain your point of view.

I don't know or care who "Nader Al-Naji" might be, nor am I going to jump off to another site to find out.

I want to be crystal clear about this: I'm not trying to beat up on you (andrewfromx) or anyone else. Rather, I'm interested in your point of view not that of some rando on the site of some rapacious corporation.
