      I’m old enough to remember USENET and IRC. They were free, decentralized, and full of terrible. The solution isn’t as easy as just removing advertising as a business model.https://twitter.com/alexstamos/status/1074410762637008896 …

      I disagree. Dozens of counterpoints but the most familiar to me is WhatsApp, which has no ranking model, no ads, and has made approximately $0 for FB. It still has serious abuse issues. When you allow people to communicate, whether 1:1 or 1:many, there will be harm. https://twitter.com/zooko/status/1073077617949999105 …

      How many elections did USENET newsgroups meddle in? How often did IRC channels incite large-scale ethnic violence in Myanmar? Or help recruit new members to terrorist groups?

      Do you really think that if these technologies were as common as social platforms today that they *wouldn’t* have been used instead? Malevolence goes to where the eyeballs are. If it were USENET/IRC, who would we summon before Congress about it? Who would we ask to address it?

      Hmm, I think Cem has a point, there's no way to artificially signal boost a usenet or irc message except for spamming, which gets you klined or banned by your provider pretty quickly (otherwise they get the usenet death penalty).

          Old browser based mmos where you had to recruit troops by sharing a link and getting people to click on them did a decent job of incentivising people on IRC.

          Viral content always existed because humans. I remember goatse, Bantown, LOIC, and all sorts of voluntary human “botnets”.
