    As if there would be no social networking without Zuckerberg.

    Like any sin, the change starts with us. If we want a healthy social network, we can build a healthy social network.

      I’m not sure if it’s possible to build a healthy social network.

      Smaller communities can work, if they’re well moderated. The small size also helps norms become established.

      Once the network gets really big, you have eternal September problems. You have too many bad actors in absolute numbers to deal with.

      So yeah, the problem is us but we suck.

      Maybe federation would work, since that can keep the moderation workload smaller and distributed.

      If I could go back in time to the moment when ARPANET was created and show them what it would become, I would also beg them to stop their efforts.
