The tech oligarchs have lined up with the far right and are engaging in open censorship. The right is going to grow as a result, although it will appear larger and more popular than it actually is.

We have a lost decade to make up for. We need to mainstream oligarchy-resistant social media.

Options available:

Signal instant messenger. Ready for prime time as a WhatsApp replacement. Centralised but non-profit with storing privacy guarantees.

Mastodon, a sort-of twitter clone. Works well but doesn't fit everyone's needs. Decentralised, non-profit.

Bluesky, a close twitter clone. Ready for prime time. Currently centralised and not secure and profit-making. VC investment by crypto firms. #freeourfeeds want to fix the centralisation, support them .

Ghost.io is a great place to host newsletter/blog content and you can take your website, payments, and mailing list away with you any time. Ready for prime time.

Many smaller projects. Matrix messenger. Mattermost which is a slack clone. Pixelfed which is like Instagram. Next cloud is a Google drive replacement. All of these are less noob ready. We have to find ways to direct investment to this sector.
