@fosserytech@social.linux.pizza The Niter case show very well on of the main reasons why I refuse to use proprietary social media platforms, the convenience of bigger reach is not worthy how they actively harm freedom - while pretending to be pro free-speech in case of Ex-Twitter. Big Tech always finds a new way of becoming an automated deal with the devil.
