Hey America Uncovered, you might want to try out Steemit and Hive!
The Great Deplatforming: Why We’re All in Danger | Social Media Censorship and Section 230
Donald Trump and his supporters are being accused of domestic terrorism and far right extremism, and the great deplatforming is purging their existence from social media. Parler has been deleted. Trump has been purged from all platforms—Twitter, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram. Talk of election fraud and voter fraud is not allowed. Questions about Section 230 reform abound. Is this a necessary response to extremism and disinformation, or the beginning of an Orwellian system of censorship that will soon affect everyone?
“When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”
As some claim: Fine we will make our own social media, with blackjack and hookers! But creating a decentralized social media or simply promoting the available ones are not easy as it sounds:
True, but like... have you tried to actually promote it to various people? People who sorta understand or compassionate... yeah they'd listen. The rest however? They want spoonfeeding. I want someone to fetch the news for me, I want this or that, I want to see people being horrible so I can laugh at them, I want porn on my feed without doing anything.
It really does take some elbow grease and I feel like an autistic preacher of decentralization, but I'm trying my best. But hey, if you've got a weeb friend, tell them to create a pawoo account which is owned by pixiv! That should be somewhat interesting for them, somewhat xD
tl:dr, I expect it to be straightforward but the reality of talking about it is weird
Decentralized web is too cumbersome for the regular person (as of now). All these antisocial networks are too easy, sadly, if we want to stand a chance we will have to come up with a decentralized alternative that it's just as easy. Hard as fuck, if not impossible. All those assholes that always went on about net neutrality stfu when we needed them the most.
Nevertheless, Parler and America Uncovered should move to decentralized platforms like Steem and Hive.
