@Azulrin

sure but even if the #democrats had the best messaging on the world, the #plutocrats own the #socialmedia channels- the #algorithms

and the structure of #centralized social media itself rewards #troll #brigades

thus, no message in the world can compete in that rigged game

the future is this, right here: #mastodon

of course, it's a pebble next to a mountain

and it needs some more tweaks

but this is where we fight back, with our own channels free of #plutocracy

@profdc9 @donray

i don't think a #mastodon alternative for the #democrats will be unicorns and rainbows, it will have all the same problems as #centralized #socialmedia in regards to #moderation and #trolls

except it won't be controlled by the #plutocrats with their thumb on the #algorithms. #progressive and #democratic voices can't get any traction there

all mastodon offers is a way out from that rigged game scenario. a lot of building to do, but we can't play in their rigged game

bear with me for a second:

a million reasons, but a big reason the #democrats lost is because the center of gravity for #media has moved to #socialmedia

where the #trolls and #disinfo play. enough dum dums bought the lies

the democrats didn't play that game. because what game can they play in that shit?

it's literally owned by #plutocrats and #fascists

so... how do we fight?

we need our own

and what do we have

#mastodon and the #fediverse

we need to grow like a fucking weed

am i wrong?
