    The platforms you have in mind are not neutral spaces that we could “take back”. The architecture of these networks actively works against us. They are designed to promote right-wing liberal propaganda, at the very least. We can’t win there. It’s a fight against windmills. It’s better to encourage the people around you to switch to the Fediverse.

      How? You’re wrong entirely. It’s a numbers game. Always has been. Their algorithm only tries to suppress it. It can’t stop it. Right now the architecture works in our favor it just takes numbers. Which is why they invested so much in making leftist retreat and delete their accounts. It’s why you said what you just said. They don’t want you showing up with numbers like we use to. This is a game of repetition. People are influenced and change opinion only when they are faced with an overwhelming number of that one opinion every day. So they convinced us to remove ourselves and not fight back.
