Communism is not about removing excess. Communism is about redistributing excess to the proletariat.

  • Why don't we see socialist countries "rewilding" the internet?

    Jump
    1. I think it's actually cool to revive old threads
    2. My gripes about the modern internet come from big companies deciding what forms of creation are deemed worthy of being able to live off of
    3. So why don't we see early-stage socialism have a more lax stance on demonetization compared to capitalism

  • Why do you not want the internet to be a "wild" place?

  • Why don't we see socialist countries "rewilding" the internet?

    Jump

  • Wild culture in this case means the culture of the internet that was present before the Adpocalypse, where you could do things that are now deemed "brand-unsafe" without risking your livelihood

    Jump

  • And in my opinion, socialist governments should take advantage of this new centralized structure and force corpos to invite wild culture into these large structures

  • I would argue that yes, it would. This kind of content is a genuine form of self-expression. There is something actually all that vital about the content/culture produced at that time and that is that it is a true reflection of society when not forced to suck up to corporations.

  • Why don't we see socialist countries "rewilding" the internet?

    Jump

  • I do think it is very much possible to rewild the internet. Like I said, rewilding isn't inherently about centralization/decentralization but how it's managed. You can, in fact, have a centralized "wild" platform, which is more feasible than returning to decentralization. A centralized "wild" platform under socialism would look similar to pre-Adpocalypse YouTube, except that the rules are decided upon democratically by creators and it would be much larger. This would ensure the robustness that did not exist with the original "wild" platform as well as no longer make the creators beholden to the profit motive that made the internet "tame."

  • 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.

  • Why don't we see socialist countries "rewilding" the internet?

    Jump

  • I don't, but I don't see how a rewilded internet would let them have more free reign than they have now. I mean look at fascists on X, pedos on Roblox, etc. Xitter and Roblox are far removed from the "wild" platforms of the 00s-10s, especially considering Roblox's new ID verify shtick that actually makes it harder to catch predators because now predators can just pretend to be kids and now their messages will be hidden from well-meaning adults who can report. Tangent aside, the "taming" of the Internet that started with the Adpocalypse was not targeted at these groups. It was targeted at creators who were trying to make a livelihood but said things that went against corporate PR. This was a move orchestrated by corpos against small creators because corpos feared they wouldn't profit as much if they platformed brand-unsafe creators. The Adpocalypse would not have happened under later-stage socialism because the DotP would have recognized the contribution and upheld their right to make a livelihood "from each according to their ability, to each according to their labor".
