Ethereum is the newsfeed we deserve

AI summary of the linked article

Tim Daub argues that Ethereum is a better publishing platform than web2 services like Facebook or Twitter, because it is globally distributed, has no central operator, and does not delete, hide or algorithmically reshuffle posts. He contends that the core social problem of web2 is big tech's curation of public discourse on newsfeeds, which Signal's privacy-focused protocol does not address. Daub responds to Moxie Marlinspike's claim that "People don't want to run their own servers, and never will" by arguing that people avoid hosting public platforms because of the heavy responsibility of moderation. He notes that running an Ethereum full node currently costs him roughly 130 EUR per month.
