Twitter/X is right wing controlled.

Meta (Instagram, Threads, Facebook) is right wing aligned.

TikTok is aligning itself with Trump.

Crypto-centric decentralized platforms are right wing aligned (the jury's out about whether crypto-funded ones are too).

Major newspapers are aligning themselves around the right wing.

Whoever controls the narrative has the ability to obfuscate and overwrite the truth.

The Fediverse is more important for freedom than ever before.

@cryptadamist @ben I assumed this was referencing NOSTR as an example. I have been looking at that out of genuine curiosity. I agree that the crowd appears to be right-leaning (and certainly crypto evangelicals) but technically it seems decentralized. Maybe I’m missing something…

@dpw @ben theoretically nostr could be decentralized - the tech works that way - but IIRC the reality is the nodes are run by a tiny group of people, as per almost every "decentralized" crypto project.
