to appear? Like BlueSky so we can ditch Twitter. I know this would be more difficult and would take a long time to grow, but I feel trapped into supporting Zuckerberg and his algorithms because of resources I need financially and for my health. It's not just enertainment for me--that I could just let go. We are millions of people helping Facebook indocrinate Nazis. I wish we could do to Facebook what people are doing to Tesla.
