"I'm going to argue that these are platforms democrats need to engage better with"
absolutely not. i've clearly told you why that cannot work

You actually haven't clearly done that, but I take the points you've made. I'm not convinced by them all.
These platforms are going to get stronger in the next 4 years. No point pretending otherwise.
-
you don't believe that the centralized corporate social media platforms have algorithms that opaquely emphasize and deemphasize certain content?
you believe that these platforms play fair and that democrats' voices stand on equal footing with racist trolls and moronic conspiracy theories?
you believe it is wise to exert effort at engaging on these platforms so that your engagement can be buried?
you trust these plutocrat assholes?

I’d like to see the traditional press open up and do the right thing again.

It hasn’t been around in nearly 30 years.
Those counting on a ‘youth vote’ to save them? Much of the youth haven’t even ever lived in a world without being totally surrounded by the propaganda.

The youth vote and the balkanization of information bubbles with Gen Z was a real shocker. Maybe it shouldn't have been, but stunning.

@benroyce I've said it before, but it bears repeating — if we want a noncommercial fediverse to exist, we have to support it if we are able.
