    In my opinion: abandon - yes. Ban - no

    Perhaps it is time to bring this old post of mine back from the dead? I argue that we have to start a war of attrition on mainstream platforms.

      I’m not against this angle. But IMO evangelization and conversions only really worked when backed by the state

      My approach is calmly keep using free platforms, keep degoogling, when sharing information, share the links from those free platforms, so it keeps pinging in general consciousness that these exist. So the next time everyone does suprised pikachu face to what extent our data is used against us, you don’t have to say “see? I told you”. They come to you asking how to do this, what are the limitations and realities of getting free etc

      But, of course, as with everything, diversity is a strength. Some of us should fight, some of us stay calm and keep going on
      I think
