As far as I can tell Cenk is the only one who's calling out their bullshit.
But they won't listen.

Why would journalists go to Fedi if all it meant was that they could only be heard by the servers the admins liked?
Mass defederations and fostering a uptight atmosphere chased the opportunities away.
FediBlock gave Musk all the power he needed.

I'd still say Skibidi Biden takes the cake

What did you think the screws were for?

Before industrial byte farming it was hard to get enough bits to go around...

Even if you think he's usually full of shit, this is a pretty good point. Those with large sums of wealth can manufacture self-organizing psyops by shifting around various arbitrary limitations.
