Re: "A recent trouble in Antenna shows the need for more than..."
@wasolili Note that Cosmos is just that: it aggregates links from various other aggregators and Gemini hosting platforms. I apply a manual editorial policy on it, though, instead of accepting whatever links it may find. Personally I don't feel it's icky at all, as it provides its own additional value of threading linked posts together.
I fear the network effect is too much about psychology and group dynamics to be overcome with technology, though. We've seen how social networks evolve on the Big Web...

A recent trouble in Antenna shows the need for more than one platform for whatever: sharing posts, forums, engines... Because yes, the owner of a platform has every right to disallow content that she or he or hän doesn't want there. However, there should be alternatives to protect freedom of speech and, also, to relief the pressure from platform owners so they can also exercise their own rights
