I love how we spend so much time rediscovering all those hard truths that we supposedly already learned in the "Web 2.0" era. Whenever you have user-generated content, you need to deal with the quality and legality of that content. FOSS and decentralization enthusiasts still seem to be imagining the internet as a place where all people willingly cooperate to create positive value for everyone, as if trolls, pirates and conspiracy theorists weren't a thing.
