I have the (maybe controversial) opinion that we do not need "free speech platforms" and, in fact, such things are probably undesirable. For reasons related to the point I'm getting at in the OP.

Which isn't to say free speech isn't of critical moral importance.

Just that, one should not expect to find it manifesting from within coherent systems -- but only around such systems. The idea that an integrated platform, with a common interface, a singular monetization model, and standardized structure will ever exist in a free speech ideal, and rather, not *require* editorialization to
maintain stability, is a misguided idea.

People who claim to care about free speech, are often paying attention to wrong things. Which is why I think "protocols, not platforms" is the clarion call for a better internet and better society.
