The first amendment only applies to the oligarchs and their friends in the 3 branches of the United States. TikTok is only the first to be blocked, there will be more, and they will be DC political fodder too.

We need a distributed social platform. Distributed currency system. Distributed personal information privacy. Distributed AI. Where’s the tech YC?

Following the money. TYC did things like bitcoin.

TYC gives zero shits about information privacy and distributed AI because they can't make more money than god. TYC isn't going to save you here. Nor are the masses going to adopt it.

The blue sky app is open source, it shouldn't be too hard to fork it and add a short video tab.

I want open source everything.

Open Source social media.

If you and 5000 like minded people don't like Blue sky you can effectively spin up your own server and exclude others.

Open Source games. I want a billionaire to fund an open source fornite with the same idea.

Which reminds me, Tencent owns major stakes in (100%) Riot and Epic Games ( 40%). Are they next ?
