    People clearly realize that these algorithms are suppressing dissidents and freedom of speech. Why do they continue to subject themselves to these hacky workarounds and self-censorship?

          the fediverse is microscopic and the people you want to get involved politically probably stay away from it.

              when the workaround is changing a word vs signing up on and learning how to use a whole new website?

              yes

                @yuri
                Changing the word every other day in an endless game of whack-a-mole vs. signing up once on a new website?

                All of us here know which is easier in the long run.

                  yeah, but folks who are already bought into traditional social media aren’t making that same assessment.

                  why would anyone pay for streaming when you can get it all for free? i certainly don’t get it, but streaming services are wildly successful nonetheless.
