Like if I look at places like Weibo it doesn’t seem like the pre-corpo net at all.

    I’m a bit confused. As I understand it, your post is about large socialist platforms vs decentralized socialist platforms. Your response here now compares decentralized platforms with large capitalist platforms. How does the latter relate to the former?

      It’s not about the size of the platform but how it’s managed. When I am referring to a “tame” internet, I don’t mean centralization per se, but the trend towards things like ID verification, demonetization, etc. If I’m not mistaken, Chinese platforms are stricter on this than their Western counterparts (at least how they used to be before ID age verification is getting shoved down everyone’s throats). I don’t think socialist China ever had an era of a “wild” internet, correct me if I’m wrong.
