I've seen the phrase 'threat to democracy' thrown around this week to justify silencing voices. If you're afraid of what someone who thinks differently will vote for, then maybe democracy itself is the problem.
Facebook, Twitter and Google are monopolies. They carry different weight than simply private corporations, and with great power comes great responsibility.
That's a tough job to be a mod, for sure, but there is also a thing called free speech which grants even lunatics like the scientologists, freedom of, you know, speech. And it doesn't mean 'free speech you agree with'.
What happens now is that Capitol protest is used as an excuse to exclude half of the country in the conversation before the inauguration (and most likely after), silence their voice, the voice of opposition.
And that doesn't smell kosher to me, to 75M people who voted with me, and thankfully many on the left, the classic liberals.
I don't think it's good for the country to derail to this level of totalitarian censorship, even temporary, no matter what yours or mine political beliefs are.
I think the best plan of action is creating a new decentralized free speech platform, as resilient as a cockroach, blockchain or scihub.
I’ve sent a message to sama & pg asking to add this to the YC list of ‘requests for startups’. I hope they hear.
For those lurking, this is a tremendous opportunity and real need as you have half the country desperate to let their voice be heard while being aggressively silenced and de-platformed for political reasons.

You can have a monopoly on free speech.. just kidding , purely decentralized. Hit me up with your hot ideas and Go chops.
