@RollingStone Interesting quotes.

> “The biggest mistake I made was continuing to invest in building tools for us to manage the public conversation, versus building tools for the people using Twitter to easily manage it for themselves,” he explained.

Oh, so, like, Mastodon? Where I'm currently discussing the article, not Twitter? Posting from my own self-hosted, self-moderated node?

Like with "actually secure messaging" (Freenet), these are strangely "solved" problems. That get ignored.

@RollingStone Maybe Jack can envision a future without official or private gatekeepers. But we’ve seen how influence campaigns and trolling can be malicious, weaponized, and destructive to the public conversation. It will be interesting to see how social media at scale can be open to all real people while organically moderating content from bad actors.

@Meryem_Fuat @RollingStone You can look at Reddit for a taste. Each subreddit has its own set of rules. But... it also has some high level moderation.

@RollingStone A lot of the problems with #Twitter can be traced back to Jack's view of 'free speech'.
