@Ruth_Mottram thanks for sharing. It made me think of Steve Bannon's saying "the real opposition is the media, and the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit".

I don't know if the fediverse is entirely shit-flood resistant, but fingers crossed it is better designed for that battle than other media.

It certainly is, see my comments elsewhere in the thread about the contrast between the fediverse (ActivityPub) and BlueSky (ATProto). There's no shady recommendation algorithms, but also no global firehose, so if something "goes viral", it's because loads of human beings decided together that it's important enough to share.
