    stop just commenting here on lemmy. Get your social media accounts back. Add each other. Post this stuff everywhere. Take back all these spaces. It’s like 15 minutes of work to actually accomplish something instead of just being mad. If you’re willing to protest but can’t be bothered to create a login then there’s something wrong. Posting content is a form or protesting in today’s world.

          Once again another assumption, I was saying they’re wrong in assuming no one here is posting this to other places, you don’t know what we’re doing, they just went on the attack from the get go and that’s an immediate way to alienate instead of cooperate.

          I get you’re mad, the situation is atrocious, you cannot control it, you can control how you respond to it.

            Framing it as an absolute is wrong. Never said nobody is. But a significant number of users here have purged all other social media. That was the Exodus

      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.
