@newsmast Taking our power back. We have been giving our power away to platforms owned by companies that don't value freedom of speech like they claim they do. No more of that. The #fediverse is the future of freedom of speech and expression. A safe space for minority groups. Due to the absence of an algorithm, like other platforms have, it is way more work for bot farms to amplify posts. Engagement will be more organic, from a real person to a real person.
