Moderation has been part of the internet since the 1980s. And ever since the rise of spam and trolls in the mid-1990s, the old guard has reacted very strongly against that.

Most people just don't want to be forced to wade through that shit. Keep it in your own corner if you really want it, but don't bother others with it.

> Social media needs to be P2P.

I do agree with that. It would be great if everybody had their own social media hub to use in whatever way they prefer. I think that might be the idea behind Hubzilla. But even then, people will want to discover valuable content, and they don't want to run into trolls, spam and nazis, so there's still going to be some curation. It's unavoidable if you don't want your internet experience to turn to shit.
