I think it is a mistake for there to be a permanent public record of ever dumb thing a young person said or did. I don't know how to balance that with accountablity.

I scroll by something in a feed and then can never find again. I routinely get a become aware of a story by some notification but when I open the app the feed refreshes and it's gone. 10 minutes later I realize I am reading something inflammatory which I would have not opened the app to see.

No one should be become extrodinarily rich by hosting content the users create. The incentives quickly become perverse and the content goes to hell.

I do not mind paying for access nor would I mind hosting a single computer in my home to support the network.

I want to know that the network will not tolerate deliberate falsehoods being distributed by elected officials. It is harder to moderate individuals and I'm not certain where the line there would be drawn.

I want to have control over what is done with images of my child. I do not want them to be widely distributed in whole or in part. I do not want them used as training data to sell me things. I sure as shit don't want them used to sell her on the idea that she is incomplete without _____.

Cancel Amazon (everything) -- a constant drain of time, focus and money. Also a home with a kid and an echo means that there are periods of repeated yelling 'Alexa play (song)' where (song) was misunderstood at first and said exactly the same way, only louder, on each subsequent request.

I compress tiny springs.
