Jim, I'm glad I saw your warning about CounterSocial. I trust you so that's enough for me.
I've been trying to round up support from fellow techies for decentralized-yet-prosocial alternatives. Because it's crazy that there always has to be some Zuckerberg/Musk/Jester who can read everything and who amasses all the power.
And have been writing on these themes for a while, e.g. prosocialcapitalism.com. Problem is, I thought we'd have more time. The evil is coming at us so fast, that we probably have to find something (imperfect) that already exists.
I moved over to CounterSocial which is very left leaning and has teamed up with BOTSENTINEL, they don't allow trolling, harassment, etc... they block proxies from many hostile nations. So far I like it. Anyone can can find me there @DaleNewton. Here is the TOS for those who maybe interested. https://counter.social/terms.html
I would like to give a special shout-out to those podcast, outlets that rose during the rise of Bernie. The class-reductionists like Jacobin, DSA-affiliated writers & podcasters eco hate “identity politics” & “the libs” & hate Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party so much they have constantly & for years *downplayed* the far right,
Look no further than “dirt bag leftist” Amber Frost & her nonsense. Or Jacobin writer, Ben Burgis, the same fucking thing. All these people have done incredible harm to folks on the left taking far RW extremism seriously.
It’s vital folks understand that we’d be a much more unified left if not for these full-on grifters & liars.

Pressure (primary) must be put on Biden to do what is necessary at SCOTUS, in Congress and at the DOJ.
