Broligarchs Speech-Policing, Faux 'Community' or 'Hub' in 'User-Driven' Clothing
Until a broligarch decides to "flag" inconvenient stories
So yesterday we were at the front page of orangesite. It's an American site of MAGAts connected to the seating dictator with his slop bros. The "Super Demented" one wants to return to feudalism and orangesite mirrors these ambitions. Remember that people reading the site and people running the site are altogether completely different groups. Unfortunately, many people who comment in orangesite don't know or don't wish to know who's bossing orangesite.
Thankfully, we do not depend on orangesite or similar "big sites" because we have a lot of articles and we need not go 'viral', ever. We believe that a lack of such dependence is good, as we can focus on being mature about it, no clickbait, not trying to appease orangesite bosses and GAFAM's "popular" falsehoods. Our opponents consider it "radical" to oppose back doors. We yawn and move on.
We'll never try to appease plutocrats in order to go "mainstream". We won't let them control anything we publish (or remove), "however it is still notable that the broligarch propaganda engine sent many 10k of visitors," an associate has noted, which means "there are a lot of people who mistake HN and Redddddddit for news forums" and "that is a dangerous problem in the context of preserving either software freedom or democracy..."
We won't links to the page in question, but let's say that something we wrote about IBM attracted an audience large enough to exceed the capacity of Manchester City Stadium. █
