Your point 1 contradicts your monopoly theory.

Your point 2 says you really want to join the Amish.

You mean smaller platforms like Parler or 4chan?



> Your point 1 contradicts your monopoly theory.

What is my "monopoly theory"? I clarified what I meant: "A platform so gigantic that it's impossible for humans to intelligently manage it". We don't really have a good term for a corporation that has undue, oversized market power. Pedants like to argue "so-and-so is not literally a monopoly!" but this is just wordplay and doesn't really address the serious social issues involved.

> Your point 2 says you really want to join the Amish.

Maybe!

> You mean smaller platforms like Parler or 4chan?

I mean smaller platforms. It would be ridiculous to suggest that your cherrypicked examples are representative. You can make anything look bad by cherrypicking.
