 Despite individual users speech (and our rightful concerns on censorship) we also have to reconcile at some higher level  a platform is what the platform does. Tiktok (which can’t be separated from its algorithm influence) is feasibly a psychological weapon from china on the west. Facebook, instagram, etc are likely similar,  just wielded by different factions.  Some  are big mad at Musk for disrupting their preferred influence toolkit. Media coverage on X  makes this clear.  (To be clear, X still probably isn’t healthy for most of our minds/souls either, but now a little harder to control. ) Time on Decentralized platforms helps make this clear….. It’s why nostr will feel different. It might be our  first steps to orient ourselves towards a #humanforever  world.
