> the biggest failure of the internet was sharing it with the unwashed masses, we should have saved it for the (even less washed, if you look to the founders) elites.
...While I agree with the sentiment, I don't agree with the end logic: The sentence implies a top-down administration determining who gets access to the internet, which is something that I will always hate with a passion.
Personally, I'm more in favor with a self-segregation model, where I can have a private intranet with myself & anyone else I choose to share with. I already do so with Tailscale's private domains.
I’ve made a complete 180 on the subject. I don’t think you can build and maintain a solid online community without gatekeepers.
That's true but the internet should be the place where ever human being is allowed. Then it segregates into multiple well-protected communities.
Every human yes, every thought would be no in my opinion.
