We learned about censorship efforts in the UK, EU, Australia and Canada, bud. None of us had a conniption over it.

We will still have centralized/defederated platforms that won't comply, mesh networks and protocols like i2p but I can absolutely understand wanting out.

Since you mentioned shills and bots, I've been wondering if some of the types always shitting on voting were but figured this place was too small to be botted.

Their approval rating has been underwater for months, even in that cursed state.

He made gains with Hispanics then proceeded to sic ICE on them. Now many are conservative as hell and have their own issues with colorism and racism, but I am curious to see how this plays out in 2028.
