    Imagine if a people actually chose to create and enforce rules to reign in these corpo owned services.

    Banning shit is the opposite of what works.

    Now if you wanna do this without a ban or rules you just gotta let them do it to themselves with ads. All platforms are seeing large declines and it seems to coincide with increases in ads

      oh yeah most definitely and I agree. My real serious positions are :

      • Tax billionaires
      • let’s create more common services for shit everybody needs (housing, food, insurance, etc)
      • start setting up universal basic income for the rest

      My previous comment was more of a way to commiserate about those services than offering the advice that This Is The Way.
