    I think the point there was not that there wouldn’t be divisions, but that it was going to be extremely unequal. Your term “break on lines” sounds like “we are going to split into equal-sized sovereign nations along opinion lines,” when it’s really going to be one main group, with the extremists flaking off into their own little private dumpsters.

      that’s people injecting ideals that aren’t really reflective of what usually happens and putting words in my mouth. the lines are usually the “majority” or “powerbrokers” deciding some some groups are unacceptable. The protocol does not ban these people from using the software, just from being generally a part of the majority network.

      There are already divisions based on language in-built. There are many divisions on reddit too (the domain name is just a name) and Expect similar divisions here as has occurred on every system since CompuServe.
