And? Let them scream.
I’ve been registered in DISQUS for years, but rarely comment using it, not because it’s clunky, but mainly because I don’t want my comments spread all over the Internet. I never feel any affinity or friendship with random strangers on sites supported by DISQUS unlike on FR.
I ran the President Trump Channel on DISQUS from 2015 to 2020 until we were deplatformed. 275k followers. There was plenty of affinity and friendship but the platform impeded every aspect of that.
Cool. I didn’t know you ran that. Well done. I hate this “deplatforming” crap. I just watched a Bogart movie “Deadline USA” about the importance of a free and independent press. Great movie. It’s about a newspaper buying out their rival to control all of the press in one city. It was very prescient about this current situation of all of our press being owned by a few oligarchs.
I would rather see such companies burned to the ground than allow them to do this.
The nation is better off with no big communications companies than to have such controlling public speech.
