I don't entirely agree, I've seen too many counter-examples throughout history.

I think that image comes from the fact that accepted forms of power are innately corrupt, and power that goes contrary to that ends up being demonized.

Put more directly, in this current day and age, assimilating in to capitalism is the most probable path to power, and almost always the cost of maintaining it and having the support of other power (due to shared class interests).

THAT corrupts.

Power alone is value neutral (and desperately needed)

Also for the record, I have more then double the amount of followers my Xitter account had at its peak, so don't tell me there isn't a way to build a social media presence.

Just make good posts, have good insight, and be interesting. That's all it takes.

The very existence of places like this scare reactionaries a lot since their corporate allies don't have a strong grip on things or their thumb on the scale (there's no "algorithm" of that sort of any kind), so much so they are burning the internet down to "correct" this.

Is it perfect, FUCK NO, far from it. It's got a lot of problems and shit has gotten (considerably) worse after the great Xitter migrations. However, the amount of reactionary bots and transphobic harassment incidents I've gotten in my entire time here I can count on one hand, unlike Xitter.
