The internet is just fine, look at the service you just used to post the comment.

The enemy is Facebook, Twitter et al, and the continued Stockholm Syndrome behavior from their user base, who clamors for just one more chance to reconcile, hoping that somehow, just somehow, suddenly the abuser will stop abusing, if only we try really really hard this time.

Just stop. The people behind these big tech services will never tolerate you or treat you fairly. You need to disassociate from them and build healthier communities elsewhere.

The only reason these evil services are considered town squares in the first place is exactly the problem I have mentioned: dumb consumers. Stop being a sheep. You’ll just be led to the edge of the next cliff a year from now once Uncle Sam uses the power of the government to “fix” the current crop of evil companies.

Nothing gets better till consumers pull their heads out of their rear ends and learn to make better choices of which services they support.

Let Facebook wither and die on the vine, in irrelevant silence.

I already use voat, Parker, Bitchute, thedonald.win, etc. You're telling me to go to places I already know exist. I was around for the inception of the_donald on reddit and was around during the final days. They will label wherever we go as an echo chamber. The fight must be taken to them every single time. At this point I believe liberalism is a mental disorder, not even joking. Don't embolden them anymore. Their outrage needs to be met by ours.

OK, that sounds pretty good to me.

Just realize that by patronizing evil services, you give them power. The power they already told you they'd wield, in their terms of service. It is up to you to determine which services are just, and which are abusive.

The moment you all leave, their power disappears. Any other method of curtailing their power, especially government oversight, is problematic at best and probably a fools errand.
