 What we need to highlight for those folks, is you also only see what you want. So many are used to an algo shoving that content in their face (and then maybe eventually being banned or removed if the company can keep up or decides to). 

I literally never see porn, hate speech, bigotry, racism, etc on here when I stay on my follows list and even rarely on global. There’s no algo increasing visibility of that stuff plus good relays. 

We can liken it to going out in the wild. Do they just never go outside because there are racist, bigoted, pedo people walking quietly amongst them down main street? We’ve gotta change the narrative and reconfigure these people’s brains that it shouldn’t be censorship first by other parties, it should be curate what you want.
