Everyone has to be somewhere. I would not be surprised to find someone, who feels like the modern internet as it exists is terrible, on hacker news. I believe the sentiment is more common here than say, the comments section on CNN.

I like the approach taken by the folks at the dat project and beaker browser. Let's make the web a DHT already. If we can force consumers to share what they consume then a DDOS becomes impractical for censoring speech (the speech spreads all over the network, making it counterproductive).
