Comment on Democratizing social media, with the freedom of moving around platforms freelyparent

Best to remain neutral IMO and focus on building the tools for both sides irregardless of your own personal political stance. I really like the approach taken by instant messaging platforms, particularly Signal's approach of being e2e encrypted. That makes them not liable in most cases even in court to withholding information because they physically can't lol. It also means they'll have no way of deciding if they should censor right wingers / left wingers.

In a way this was also what inspired me to build Soul, though I get the appeal of being decentralized and all, I think we can still remain impartial by being an external provider with no access to any other information (e.g. user posts) besides user accounts and relationships.
