Earlier quoted context omitted.

There will always be a delicate line to be addressed between free speech and moderation / censorship. There's a web layer, but pieces can also be extracted and shared in groups and feed in the app. There is an option for publishers / site owners to natively add Kontxt directly to their site with a single line of javascript to give them an initial point of control and moderation (view only, comment, or user added high…

Is there an opt-out option for publishers and site owners?

Not at the moment. But I'll keep that in mind as things progress.

Hi, this looks a lot like this project: https://github.com/DanilaFe/matrix-highlight It that leverages the multiple possibilities of open standards like Matrix to make a really cool to highlight web page contents and fostering discutions, all from any server you want :D Also another project, cited in the README of matrix-highlight: https://github.com/opentower/populus-viewer

twitter could have been this, instead of the pile of garbage that it is today

This was also my first thought - it reminds me of some Matrix based note taking apps.

See the Matrix blogs at https://matrix.org/blog/category/this-week-in-matrix/ to see how these projects have been progressing.

I think there is space for another paid competitor also built on Matrix!

That's one of the goals.

What are your plans for dealing with people who do not wish to have a third-party commenting layer they have no moderation power in forced upon them, and for the problem of a “let’s find weird people and mock them until they are on the verge of suicide” community like LJDrama/Something Awful/4Chan/Kiwifarms/etc starting to use Kontxt? This is a problem that every “we made a comments layer for the entire web!” project…

I feel like problems of harassment and organized mobs should be solved by government action.

We can self police for politeness, and keeping people on topic but the moment people start using a venue to organize harassment, the victim and venue owner ought to be able to rely on a higher party to adjudicate justice.
