but, something will replace it.

And you can control the narrative and the "facts"

or absorb that part of it.

I'm not convinced.

The fact that people outside of the Marxist narrative still use Google is amazing to me

TV and Radio were originally pretty dispersed

It centralized to 3 stations though.

You're seeing something like that with the internet.

It used to be that communities had unaffiliated local stations.

It was after the centralization there was regulation.

@RyeNorth Yeah, but even those were small.

I'm trying to bring some of that back with my project.

That's the goal, anyway.

@Beemann and that's kinda the key point. It's habit and Google is a de-facto monopoly.

bitchute just since infowars was banned, has gone from 20% ot 60% in funding. Gab and minds are all gaining much faster as well. So, the people that actually want information, to be informed, will find a way to do it, if they can.

But then you see that Mastercard and ilk have banned FreeStartr

not that infowars is ...informative, but...w/e

Gab was banned from both Apple and Android stores.

and still gaining

users

You can still get Gab on Android.

I'm interested to see what blockchain does to centralised services

You *can't get the normal people on those platforms under such conditions*

You are correct though

it's out of the way.

You have to manually install the APK

yeah, only really technical sophisticated people sufficiently motivated will do it.

And what happens when Gab becomes a marker of being a "neo nazi" and having it on your device is a firing offense?

Gab has way too much reputation of being full of far right people

^

Minds is better

>installing an apk is technically sophisticated
Most kids with smartphones probably know how to do it already

normal people go where their friends are or where they get what they want.

The same issue holds though. No one wants to be deluged by alt-right nonsense.

And you still are stuck with the big financial firms refusing to fund them and attacking anyone who does.

Minds isn't that alt right

I haven't seen any alt right people there

I have.

And you can actually have good conversation

But you still have the Voat issue eventually. And it's still empty.

I've seen more alt right people on twitter and I don't use twitter

Network effects are a bitch.
