also, let's be clear about this: gitcitadel is not about attracting hordes of normie social media dopamine fiends it's about providing back end infrastructure and applications to use it to private businesses. the government can't push those people around as easily as they can lock you out of google play and apple store. they already are routinely using all kinds of technologies that are completely bespoke and nothing directly to do with social media they also can't stop private associations from using them. they can't stop private citizens from using open protocols on their open operating systems. the inevitable conclusion from all of this is that this whole meme about "mUh AdOpTiOn" needs to die right here and now. it's not gonna happen, ok? they won't let it happen. people will only learn if they have friends who are doing it. as it is, i'm virtually shut out of reddit already. i'm shut out of X because they shadow ban me automatically, if not explicitly suspend my account within 5 of my posts. this is their cow paddock and they won't have any goats in it.
