    Remember when I said that cheering on big tech policing speech, way back when they only hit the bad guys, was a bad idea, because it would turn back to bite us? Yeah.

        Certain elements among us cheering it on made no discernible difference

        Yeah this very rarely ever matters. Viewing things as more of a "system on autopilot" (including who cheers and why) is going to give a more accurate picture than "we should not have supported this" which is idealism (perhaps, even, liberalism?).

        The only effective solution I see (if we want to idealize) is to build out the "fediverse" of social networks into an at least somewhat viable alternative. Probably won't have "everyone in one place" like modern corporate social media does, but a lot of people could peel off and make something worthwhile nonetheless.
