So I've been arguing with people about this. Seems like a lot of people no longer have any other accounts online except in places that are essentially little digital closets where 99% of content is just news headlines and heavy moderation.
What are people are doing day to day if they're removing themselves from the vox populi and convincing each other to also abandon it?
Doesn't it seem counter productive to self silence by removing ourselves digitally and then go maximum effort to raise awareness in a protest where we face legal repercussions, threats to our lives, career and financial consequences. In my mind it's like if i wanted to start boxing but instead of showing up to the gym everyday and training, I just sign up for a fight determined to succeed on pure anger against an opponent that's trained for years.
I can't square that myself. Only way it makes sense to me is if some right wing group has been pushing ideas like "Don't wrestle with pigs" or "delete your Facebook/Reddit/X account because they're evil". If they have control of communication channels then no matter what you do in person it will fail since they can write and reframe our efforts into whatever suits them.
