This is why we need to making something like a digital commons co-op, maybe Mozilla, maybe Wikipedia Foundation or maybe Archive but Reddit has replaced usenet, and we need a site run for the people.

Since the web is based around single domains, the source runs behind those domains, this balkanizes what we see and who runs it, creating a winner take all dynamic. Unknowingly, the structure of the web makes it ideal to supplant public protocols for private walled gardens. Sure you can use a "standard" client to connect, but you are relying on the good of the owner, who can _pivot_ at any time.
