Alright so I’m skeptical we’ll keep a useful level of signal to noise the whole time (Usenet). But, for the first time in forever I’m optimistic, there’s a lot more technical talent and awareness of how bad it can go this time around, which is amazing to see.

I still don’t think people have grappled with the fact there’s no total “erase” button even if you can port your data.

But we have open standards again, it feels weird.
