@mykola
that the argument of reach is false.
One can have a very high reach on proprietary networks, that's true. But it can be any moment taken, by just you sharing a unpopular opinion or cause goverment wanting so.
If one is a journalist or activist the argument of reach is only aplying if one is privilidged not getting cencored
Using those networks is brining reach to networks censoring through a centralized power structure.
You're ignorance is silencing others voices.
@mykola uuh no. that's far of my opinion.
ppl say proprietary social networks are good, because you can reach many.
that's as a general statement false.
some can have a great reach. but twitter and co can take it anytime...and they do.
then if one says reach is the reason one uses twitter over fediverse, it's just once ignorance over the cencorship of others.
@paulfree14 I see what you're saying now, sorry for misunderstanding your original post!
I think all of these tools have their place, but yeah - risk of centralized service is that you can easily be turned off or the company can shut down.
But it is absolutely true that twitter posts can reach more people. But I actually think of this as a liability!
