    There needs to be less reliance on giant corporations. Those stinkers generally become evil as a rule. More competition is good for everyone.

    Everyone who is using twitter in 2025 is supporting a facist.

    And if people dont care about the fact they are facists too.

    So stop supporting facists.

    I 100% agree. They use their companies to push or even ignore laws in the countries they want to operate. But the governments and journalists must leave first. You can’t expect regular people to leave for empty social media alternatives that they have to build from scratch, which is also easily corrupted by foreign propaganda and bots.

      I agree, though I guess as long as there are more people to reach on twitter, politicians will switch reluctantly at best. So I think everyone - regardless of politician or citizen - who is willing to make the sacrifice of less content should do so.

      Don’t tell me what I can’t do… I’m gonna expect the hell out of them, and they’re gonna do it and be happier for it, and I’m gonna be so proud of them!

    There’s one in my home town in Sweden in a week or so, I’m going there to see if I can help. I just hope I don’t mess it up and turn someone away from ever considering free alternatives, like bricking their phone or ranting about plan9. “There, you now have a fully free phone! Unfortunately you can’t call, text, or use the camera anymore, but… yeah.”
