The rioters didn't listen to Donald Trump or Alex Jones. Have you read what's come out recently? Jones specifically told people not to riot and condemned violence. The people who broke in where already at the capitol steps while h

No, I mean those individual things. There may be some intersection between Alex Jones fans, Daily Stormer Fans and Reddit users ... but they're certainly not the same audiences at all. You can replace them with anyone you want that&#x2

> I believe that companies are largely on their own team, neither right nor left Wat? Dude, Twitter, Reddit and Facebook's moderation policies are clearly left to far-left. They've done no blanket banning for calls to violence

Exactly, and weeks after the story broke, it was revealed the FBI was actively investigating Hunter Biden. You can also download all the uncensored photos on many leak websites. The photos are clearly Hunter Biden in many sexually explicit

So because we already have big corrurpt megacorps in other industries, it's okay to have the same in Big Tech? Big Tech and Media is not where we make our stand because all the other evil mega-corps are doing it too?

It's not the usual way of things. They're not removing a few individually flagged post. FB is erasing massive numbers of communities, many just because they lean right. Reddit deleting over 2,000+ subreddits in the past year is ju

The United States is the only country where you are still required to take off your shoes before going through the TSA line. They can still put their hands all over you and molest you (they do to me every time I fly). No one complains anymo

The US has used sanctions on Iran, Cuba and countless others. You can argue their effectiveness, and how they may just hurt the country's citizens.. but this has been a long standing problem. It's something Trump can do that might

How do you do notifications from a CRUD app on a mobile device if you can't have a native app on the device? Let's not kid ourselves. People rarely use the browser for something they really like on mobile if there is a native app.

It's cheap to start a social network. I run a Pleroma and a Mastodon server and you can find the links in my profile. But don't fool yourself into thinking my little instances have any sort of effect compared to the big mega-corps
