Really highlights the fact that any free speech and naive western sense of freedom in these walled garden is just a button press away from being taken away and that there are no rules or standards. Whenever the owners or their friends feel even slightly displeased, annoyed or god forbid afraid the masks go off and the hammer falls.

Sadly look at email. Technically you can host it yourself but if you’re not one of the 15 or so big providers, good luck not being marked as spam before you even do anything.
The real problem is with the oligarchy controlling everything, service or protocol. This is why Threads was/is dangerous.

That’s literally the same point I was making, that your protocol can be blocked when they’ve decided they don’t like it.

Ugh, but even so popularising the protocol would make it prohibitively expensive to increase the odds of interacting with threat actors. Its never 100% but its not worse.

Honestly? That very much feels like a “fuck around and find out” situation and a GREAT way to piss off rich people in the event someone else gets blue shelled.
Also: Free speech doesn’t apply to social media. You can and will be banned for no reason other than someone with the power was bored.
