Yeah, I understand the reasons. I just hate that people have decided to put up with this shit rather than leave those platforms. If a platform is censoring your posts for saying “die” or “vagina”, then that should be a sign that it’s time to abandon that platform. Yet people remain there and we end up with this complete wank.
it’s hard to have the same reach when you limit yourself to niche platforms tho. like sure, PinkNews could post exclusively to Pixelfed/PeerTube and not have to deal with censorship.
they’d also have to contend themselves with 12 followers… a hard pass when you’re a news org

No one can leave because that’s where all the people are
