Well, literally this platform, but nevertheless.

Along with a bunch of open source alternatives everywhere. But mainstream options are always run by capitalists, and they always try to find ways to punish people for not using them.

How am I being punished by not using Twitter or Facebook or Instagram or any of those other things that I don’t use?

Governments post vital information there, they try to turn it into payment services you might depend on, personally I've lost contact with friends who are only answering on platforms I don't use. The entire business idea is to make it so that those who are not using the platforms are missing out.

If you lost contact with people, they weren’t friends.
