    No I’m saying the logic and propaganda of corporate social media seems to work on them, despite it being in obvious contrast to their ideals.

      I’m with you. To my knowledge all my irl woke friends ride only mainstream social media.

      I had a local anarchist reach out to me on FB Messenger of all things.

      I get that it’s not the most important part of you’re doing prefiguration, as far as I can tell most people just want to be where most people are, even if it is supporting actually vile corporations.

        Unfortunately not understanding or being sufficiently motivated by the threat of corporate social media is still prevalent among a good amount of lefties I know, but I find even when they are uninterested in leaving corporate social media they can at least understand the logic behind it in a way a lot of techy type people start to just get combatitive when you try to explain.

        I’m not sure I see the distinction you’re making here. Usually those groups are highly overlapping.
