I love how shit on the fediverse bounces around like crazy from server to server all over the world with messages being duplicated by different communities to make the protocol work.
Here is one of the vanishing few places in the digital realm beyond video games that see messy interweaving and interconnection between people internationally towards more and more wholistic communities as a form of strength against fascism rather than weakness.
In one sense the Fediverse is far easier to obliterate than other online communities given how little money and traditional resources the Fediverse has to defend itself vs. how globally exposed it is, but in another it would be the most massive headache in the world to try to quietly and carefully censor voices on the Fediverse given the constant beehive activity interacting across disparate communities located in different countries with different laws and different motivations and key actors.
I am very passionate about correcting the misinformation and disinformation around this, I wholeheartedly believe the more vulnerable we are in sharing ourselves through digital identities in larger and more interconnected communities the less power authoritarian forces have over us.
It may seem counterintuitive, but you need only to look to history for how ineffective everybody receding from public spaces pre-emptively in response to fears of fascism was or look more closely at the opposing solutions to the Fediverse that attempt to run away from the fragmentation and censorship of Corporate Social Media and the old internet by fragmenting pre-emptively into disconnected and uncommunicative smaller atomized commmunities to see why the Fediverse is absolutely necessary for resistance.
Long live Peertube!!!!
