I legitimately wonder how further developing #postActiv is enabling persecution of minorities. As a Black person, I think the spread of #corpocentric networks in our communities is a big issue, because increasing "engagement" often means throwing extremists' messages in front of their targets, so that reactions (online fights) will ensue; and also because not every extremist is white or right-wing ... throwing everyone in one big tank spreads the sepsis everywhere. ("Septic tank" is probably a good analogy for large centralized walled-garden social sites.)

Meanwhile, smaller #socnet sites, federated together, with an easy ability for users to block problematic posters, where no site has the ability to offer much for data-miners or advertisers or police / security agencies or excessive-regulators seems to be the way to go. Maybe something like #Twister can evolve into a better alternative, but as of a few years ago, it was not there yet.

For now, IMO, we need people to use and people to host sites that run software like #GNU_Social, #postActiv, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Diaspora, #Friendica, and #Hubzilla (and its ever-growing list of derivatives) _instead of_ throwing everything into the hands of #Facebook, #Twitter, #Instagram, #Medium, #LinkedIn ( #LockedOut ) and so on.
