Irish and EU regulators aggressively “censored” social media coverage of Ireland’s 2024 general election and the recent presidential election, a panel of US politicians has claimed in a report.
The report by the staff on the judiciary committee of the Republican-controlled US Congress alleges “harassment” against tech groups to undermine conservative and populist parties.
If everyone agreed to move, there would be no problem (as long as the Fediverse can accomodate everyone).
There’s precedent. There was a myriad of social media sites Worldwide at some point. Then in a few years everyone “agreed” to move to Facebook. There are stories of how they aggressively took over markets, but at the end of the day I supposed they had the technically best site. And after over a decade of decay, people are still stuck.
They just have to open new accounts, not necessarily leave the old ones. Just copy post to multiple sites. This allows new sites to grow, while keeping benefits of old, with minimal extra effort.
that’s a lot of effort
Depends on the site, and the tools you use. I know, at least tangentially, there were tools for cross-posting between facebook, twitter, and whatever back when I volunteered with a convention. Surely there could be similar tools for non “tech giant” sites.
No? Form a habit
