Maybe drop a platform owned by a modern-day facist who keeps using your tweets to train his attempt and cyberdyne?
Mastodon and BlueSky are right there.

The Senate in 2020 was 50 Republicans, 2 independents who caucus with the Dems, 1 coal baron pretending to be a Democrat, 1 green party scam artist also pretending to be a Democrat, and 46 actual Democrats.
Even if you got past the filibuster the vote would almost certainly be 49-51 against or worse.
You got it in 1.
Trump's a wannabe facist, so his crony at the FCC corruptly pressured the employer of a comedian he doesn't like into firing said comedian.
Make note of this, and refer back to it for the next several decades anytime anyone on the right bitches about "cancel culture" or "free speech".
If Schumer and Jeffries want to endorse whomever they want, they can resign their positions as party leadership.
Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are doing incalculable damage to Democratic party unity by not enforcing their party's candidate for NYC mayor.
It doesn't even matter at this point if Mamdami loses -- any call by either "leader" for party unity will be met with "you didn't endorse Mamdami, why should we endorse your pick" by anyone to their left, forever.
At least one interoperable PDS has come online, and the network later folks seem entirely aware of the single point of failure that their "firehouse" model suffers from. More importantly, their entire value proposition isnt "were not Twitter", but rather "if we become evil you should be able to pack up and go elsewhere."
It's fashionable on Lemmy to bash Bsky, but the difference really is comparable to the old GNU Hurd project vs Linux. The two most successful FOSS systems ever (Linux and git) took a sucess-first, share-later model while an opinionated actor in charge. I dont mean to argue that this is philosophically better or appropriate for all projects, just that there's precedent for FOSS starting less open than it eventually becomes.
