      Very good article. Its soo dangerous to have these massive social media platforms be something totally out of our control, us owning and being in control of these platforms is the only way out of this.

        Thanks, and completely agree that there is a huge risk investing into corporate platforms. Even when they don’t outright ban content and users the opaqueness is also a problem. We don’t actually know how content gets ranked and promoted on these platforms. It’s trivial for the operators to quietly promote specific types of content while suppressing other.
