genuine question if twitter was democratically owned and governed, would it *actually* be a better platform? for all the rhetoric around user ownership in web3, very few people have thought critically about how this works in practice

hmm i ~ don't ~ think so. content curation + distribution is what makes twitter more than a glorified rss feed. Access to their API though opened up a thriving ecosystem of interesting apps based off of twitter's data that withered up + died once they closed it though! but that doesn't effect twitter itself

I do think what defines a platform is curation + moderation, which web3 generally lacks plans for. It takes emotional intelligence + fortitude to sift through grey edge cases and decide if its harmful or not. It's hard to imagine a group of randomly selected peers doing better than Twitter's Trust + Safety team

yeah this is a really interesting dynamic feels like our current best answer to curation and moderation is one-protocol, multi-client (so clients handle the curation and moderation) very interested to see how/if this works in practice tho

Can imagine moderation on the protocol level as well Eg wouldn't want a social protocol to make it easier to plan group violence

actually, I don't think there will be a much better approach in the future. it's beneficial that FC, Lens, Orbis, and maybe others are designed as protocols. this is a base layer on everyone can build on them. it can be clients for all kinds of topics with all kinds of rules and moderation
