    When it grew exponentionally, the regime intervened as they did with Facebook and others.
    Long before Trump.
    All MSM is controled and social media is no different when it reaches a substancial audience.
    The hard truth still many don’t want to hear:
    Free speech is an illusion, only allowed if you scream into the void.
    Anything else they will manipulate or sabotage.
    TikTok is the latest example.
    You can expect the same here eventually, while the nature of it makes it more difficult the platform will be flooded with bots trying to control the narrative.

      The Fediverse is our best chance at resisting our social media being controlled. People need to be made aware of that.

        It’s pretty crazy. I saw a post on reddit about an article that was talking about the fediverse. I kid you not, 120 comments, 90% of those comments completely bashing it. “iT’s bRokEn, iTs bugGy, eW iT loOks likE sOoo oUtdatEd”. Literally not even giving it a single chance. I’ve been on lemmy for about… 3 days now? Absolutely not regretting it.
