I can only hurt one empire materially, the one I materially live within. The Chinese have to reign in China, and the Russians Russia. The best I can do is my part not to strengthen or support the evil empire I was born under to the best of my ability.

What you can do is not grow the ones you can’t hurt.

Zero good will come from using this app. If you want to support something positive go sign up for Loops and use the Fediverse alternative rather than support genocidal empires in any form.

Or better yet, contribute to something that opposes mainstream social media. If you have development skills, help build something viable. If you don't, encourage others to use something viable.
