I'm back.. Though other than a few of my members, doubt anyone else missed me :)
It's been 30 years since Doc's Place BBS went online, and other than mail transport technology changing, mostly everything is the same. In the USA especially, big-tech has become the 21'st century Third Reich. Everything on the net is censored that the gatekeepers do not approve of.
Spending quite a bit of time lately working on my board. It got me thinking that if Fidonet bbs's was to update their message editors to rich text, timymc editor comes to mind, we could include images, links, attachments, etc. Along with the necessary open graph meta tags, Fidonet and all the sysops we have could give big-tech some serious competition.

The problem is not big-tech. The problem is bullshit and bullshiters.

The problem is not big-tech. The problem is bullshit and bullshiters.
The problem is big-tech and bullshit capitalism.

depends of the perspective or how you measure it.
it works very well to make a few people enormously rich and powerful.
it's also very effective in destroying the environment Γ ⌠ fast and enduring.
This is also the actions or inactions of men. The problem is not capitalism, it is the way it is used.

I don't know about what fairy-tale version of capitalism you have in mind.
I mean capitalism in the way it is used or as the system with all the laws and (non-)regulations that exist today.
It's a systemic problem and not a problem with a few bad actors.
Capitalism as it exists is made to make a minority very rich and reward sociopathic/psychopathic behaviour.

Capitalism is not designed for that outcome but indeed
that is what we get much of the time.
