              Yeah just launching an outlet won’t do anything either we need to create a real crowd-controlled distribution system parallel to social media. Stuff like lemmy is a baby step

    Well, we had large swathes of our federal government forcibly dismantled by a (admittedly South) African, so… 🤷‍♂️

    I mean, the alternative is economic and infrastructure colonization from the Chinese. Not a whole lot of good options it seems.
