Also OP, you might want to look into running your own Mastodon instance. It's going to present a challenge if you don't have a technical background but you learn a whole lot. The only real way to beat censorship is by being your own service provider. I have some very strong opinions (none that are hate-based but can be controversial) so I don't want to be at the mercy of some random sysadmins inability to see things objectively.
I'm done with social media after this. I'm going to read the newspaper and use telegram with my friends who aren't thin-skinned pussies like some of the Zionist goofs on this thread and mastodon. I'm banned from every social media platform except irc and Lemmy. I HATE censorship. I will intentionally break the rules to piss off jannies.
The newspaper is often not a great place to get news either because it generally takes the side of the wealthy. Newspapers are, afterall, the propaganda arm of the wealthy. You'll find more objective reporting through smaller outfits that do not have to answer to a wealthy advertiser base.
Well said
