Centralization of social media is a modern problem, but it's not the only problem with current online discourse. Conversations are too much like a Colosseum event. You just want to make a minor point, next thing you know someone has their flame thrower trained at you, a few people in clown cars and trikes roll up and toss a couple random comments in. There are better systems, most importantly focus on the arguments, not the person, and create an environment of open inquiry based on validation, with co-developed knowledge as the product. It's a mystery why this situation hasn't improved in 30 years.
