It’s been wild over the last few years to see authoritarians cheering on corporate social media censorship, as though it will never be turned on them.

Fuck censorship.

Fediverse is the best collective action I can think of against this kind of censorship.

The ideal if the Fediverse, yes. The reality of it, with Lemmy in particular, is that we have admins with the power to censor or curate as they wish, and while they may not be able to censor the entire fediverse, if they control a large chunk of it, it still has an effect on what users can see.

For those fortunate enough to be out of the loop, one of the qanon catch phrases is "Where we go one we go all" which is some bastardized version of the three musketeers "all for one, one for all." It's often abbreviated as WWGOWGA, which you'll see on bumper stickers to helpfully let you know the driver has completely lost touch of reality so you should give them plenty of space. I've never seen it shortened to WGA, but that is plausible.

Ok yeah accidentally mistaking it for an abbreviation of wwg1wga makes sense actually

Well that's good

This is good to know and I'm glad to hear.

As an aside, do we have a system for OP to pin this comment to the top? This context is pretty important.

riiiight

Yep. Another problem with allowing content to be spoon-fed to us by The Algorithm.

Yeah my algo plays a fair amount of WGA content.

I miss the good ' ol FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8 days.

My guy do you really not understand the shared desire of corporations to prevent solidarity and organization among workers?

How often do you think organized protest goes uninterrupted by force in ~~mainland~~ China?

Probably money. Given enough money, I’m sure tiktok will ban any search term

China? The source of most products keeping our capitalist world going? What about it was supposed to be communist again?

I was thinking the same thing!

Strikebreaking for the Glorious Worker's Revolution! That's how it's supposed to work, right?
