This definitely should not be taken as an omen for the left. No. Surely this we’ll never be wielded towards the left
Ok I mean this more seriously than I've ever said it before, we need decentralized self-hosted social media networks. You know what a smart phone is? Its a device with probably at least one 9 of uptime for most people. Realistically, what's the longest you think most people usually go without their phone being on and having service? While its spewing forth your personal data about how well you slept last night and what you had to breakfast into all corporate regions of the cloud, why not use those same pipes to also serve a website or two? Have trusted friends cache whatever-visibility copies of your page, so that when you do go down every now and then, it'll still be accessible. Fucking hell, I mean bring back a beefier version of RSS, and practically all you'd need to do is just host some RSS feeds off your devices. I know about Briar and Scuttlebutt and Mastadon and all that, but there needs to be something that you can just pop on your cell phone, run as an app or share a web-client webpage version right there in your phone.
This sounds like a good idea but I dont know enough about computers to do anything about it.
I'm really mixed on it, whether the instructions from the government caused this level of cencorship, to attack digital news, Murdoch's main remaining rival, or Facebook did it themselves to spite the Government for making them pay.
