What makes a digital platform truly valuable? The ability for people to express themselves within legal boundaries, without unnecessary restrictions. That's the foundation of any genuinely open ecosystem. When a platform becomes the digital equivalent of a public space, it needs to balance accessibility with responsibility — giving voices room to be heard while respecting the law. That tension isn't a bug; it's the feature that separates a genuine community platform from just another controlled system. The question isn't about absolute freedom without limits, but about creating space where diverse perspectives can coexist under clear, fair rules.

Well said, this is what Web3 should look like. But there are very few platforms that can truly achieve balance...

That's right, but I think the key still lies in who defines the "fair rules," as this can easily be distorted.

Basically, it's a game between freedom and order, but talking about it like this is too abstract.

Good grief, no doubt about it... I'm just worried that some platforms say they're open, but behind the scenes they're still implementing a strict, authoritarian approach.

Well said, but the reality is that most platforms can't achieve this. The rules look good, but in practice, it's all a one-man show.
