So... here's the thing:
DON'T PLAN YOUR REVOLUTION ON THE KING'S BLACKBOARD.
The fact that organisers are depending on the availability of a platform run by any of the tech bros... well, it makes me think you aren't a terribly effective opposition.
I had my account suspended by blue sky today and reddit a week ago. Nothing I post should go against the TOS on either site. I do occasionally comment on politics (especially on blue sky) but I'm careful to keep things civil. Reddit I mainly use for a niche gaming sub. I don't mean to sound tin foil hat,but it seems very suspicious that two separate social media accounts of mine were suspended. Very weird. I deleted IG and X ages ago.

@cstross @QueenOfTheCroneAge @Remittancegirl Europe should ban all things Meta. While they can.
@JoelBarr @cstross @QueenOfTheCroneAge @Remittancegirl the fact that X is still operating after the Grok thing tells you they can't (or won't)

@Remittancegirl this just makes me more convinced of the "we aren't allowed to build our own things, because building is bad" leftist brainworms

@Remittancegirl In the 80s this would have become a SCOTUS case, probably a milestone 1st Amendment issue, due to likely WH involvement.
It is political censorship.

@Remittancegirl Or give your actual contact information to “organizers” on surveiilance platforms, like so many are being solicited to do. This is incompetence and naivety by the organizers who are in denial that we are, right now, living in a Fascist state and the platform owners are Quislings/collaborators. I don’t know if it’s too late for them to wake TF up.

@karmic_resonance @Remittancegirl could we withdraw their use of the English language?
No, that wouldn’t work. What they speak now is scarcely English.

@violettejean If the opposition to Trump cannot figure that out, they will fail.

@Remittancegirl If you’re trying to get the people involved, you have to go where the people are
@the_gneech Until you make them dependent on a platform run by someone with interests diametrically opposed to yours.
And then have it go down exactly when you need it.
This reeks of people, of organizers who do not really understand what they are up against at all.
I'm sorry, you do not organize against a hegemony on the hegemony's platform. You literally can't. And you need to communicate that to 'the people'. Maybe doing so with also make it clear what they're fighting for more powerfully

@allanb Of course it is.
Believe that, instead of just saying it, and really understand in your bones what kind of forces you are up against.
Of course authoritarians indulge in political censorship.

I know a shit ton about Mao. And there's very little daylight between him and Trump except he was more energetic and more murderous.

@lawyersgunsnmoney @Remittancegirl
sadly I think the overwhelming likelihood is that it is indeed too late...
