One thing to remember about the alternative platforms is that the people who were kicked off other platforms early are the established members of them. They tend to be the more dysfunctional members of our society.

I join them anyway, like gab.com, which is related to Discord, because the way to counter the constant anti-Antisemitism, is to outnumber them.

The banning of alternative viewpoints is accelerating. It's alarming how coordinated it is, with the banned being so deplatformed, they are left without means of complaining. You pretty much have to go looking for someone you've been following to know they have been kicked off Facebook or twitter or YouTube or all of them and sometimes they have even been denied a website host so you have to wait for them to find an alternative before you can follow a particular journalist again.

I wouldn't be surprised if the average internet user has no idea the bans are going on. Again, it's alarming how thoroughly they are getting away with the bans without the mainstream noticing or with their "Russia-backed" or "Iran-backed" explanations going unchallenged. People probably still think they are participating in a free-speech, grassroots playground.

Read between the lines anytime you see "coordinated inauthentic behavior" in a news article. That usually means "war-critical voice" and increasingly it's going to mean people critical of major advertisers such as big pharma.
