The Last Refuge

Hmmm. I wonder if this is going to be the place of last resort after everything else gets censored.

Yeah but heck if anything that means they’re less susceptible to Silicon Valley pressure.

There's MeWe, and Discord.

Discord is all aboard the censorship train from what I’ve heard. Not familiar with mewe.

Just heard about The Donald, but the main use is making private groups.

MeWe is an anti-facebook. Which is running very slowly right now..... they were founded on the not selling folks' information bandwagon.

MeWe is a Facebook alternative, except that you need an account to view anything on the site. I have also heard from someone I know who uses it that their admin is no less PC than most of social media.

LJ may very well be the "last refuge", at least until they block it nation wide, like they do in China. This is the one and only "social media" I have ever used. Never had an Assbook or Shitter account. I never trusted Assbook, as it's nothing more than a collection of privacy destroying adware, spyware, and malware, and Shitter proved itself utterly useless with that 140 character limit. How can you develop a coherent thought in one short sentence? It enables sloganeering that leads to a toxic environment.

I think this new CEO is going to make it implode even faster.

It might very well be. I fled 12 years ago because I felt like once the russkies bought six apart, no point in staying. Yet, there may still be a point.
You may not remember me. But I remember you, for a good reason. I anona-posted to an entry of yours back in the early 00's - and you referred to me as one of the last sane liberals left - or something to that regard.
You saw that I was not drinking the kool-aid that even back then, so much of the so-called "left" was. You were willing to say as much. You understood that even if I was on the left, and you disagreed with me, as one would expect, that I was (And still am) among those who cringe at what the modern "left" was and still is being hi-jacked by. I have no idea if you will ever even see this. I hope you do. Because even though I have never cast my eyes upon you IRL, 2 decades+ on, I can see that you are a good egg.
