Definitely. Also why I keep track of pop culture stuff like whatever latest thing is coming from Hollywood, streaming BS, etc. Most of it is a thinly veiled psyop.

A lot of my issues on earlier mainstream platforms had to do with contradicting psyops stemming from MSM accounts. It got to the point where I couldn't even have a conversation with friends on their own timeline, nor even respond to direct questions, because my messages would just get auto-deleted (from public viewing) by AI.

No doubt! They'd be fools not to. It's a foregone conclusion. Gotta look at all these tech's from a military SIGINT perspective to understand what's going on. Personally I'd like to see folks migrate to something like SimpleX or that ilk since it's probably just a matter of time before fedi becomes just as bad as mainstream social media was several years ago to present. I'm a bit torn about ditching my fedi accounts, but it seems like it's probably just a matter of time before I do so for the sake of my own privacy and not having it show up on the inevitable social credit score (once my fedi gets correlated with govt ID by some AI).

Interesting pdf's btw. All getting archived for future reference.
