Yup, I only want to see American social media! Because it has no propaganda!

It's less about that and more about stopping an extremely powerful attack vector currently active in your own country.

Literally the biggest reason why the western world is in such a giant political crisis is the weaponization of social media.

Social media 15 years ago: cat pics and friends.

Social media today: shit you didn’t subscribe to, but shows up anyway to push wedge issues in to things you enjoy.

Yeah, kinda miss that era. Luckily Lemmy emulates kinda well, just wish that there were more proper old school forums for nich but large communities like NCD or Rimworld.
