You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them

Right, but getting people to actually know it exists is the problem. That's why federated decentralized media is a good thing.

If you (rightfully) believe that, then any place blocking you isn't somewhere you want to be, anyway.

Huh, why? Because of shit management?

it requires effort for sure, but even if you don't want to permanently do it, just spend like a week, without using tiktok or something.
It's worth it. At least let yourself understand both worlds fully.

You are right, but you are just missing an important ingredient: a physical community.
It's quite easy for autocrats and gangs to isolate and eliminate loners.
And as for the communities, there is a hierarchy. Police officers and soldiers have no hesitation to eliminate gangs and terrorists. That's their job.
They will have a little more hesitation to attack civil organisations, e.g. sports clubs, political parties and trade union places. But eventually, if someone tells them that terrorist activities were being undertaken, they'll just follow orders. The way this is done is by getting people unfamiliar with the community to come in and do the dirty job.
They will have the most hesitation to attack religious places of their own religion. Many of the grunts tend to still be religious/superstitious.

Heh, same. The "subreddit" format is incredibly addictive.

Yes it is, but how to make them understand it is

No. It's how different instances share content with one another.
