This is Fine: Optimism & Emergency in the P2P Network
Centralised power and decentralised communities are on the verge of outright conflict for the control of the digital public space.

And just to make it clear, I'm just giving you my honest opinion. Not trying to make you feel bad or anything.
I now noticed that the post's content differs between instances, sorry about that.
It's better to write in your own summary when you post links anyway. I see the extract from the top picture.
