What happens when the lunatics own the media and social media? Let them remove all evidence of genocide and corruption? Just accept the insanity and authoritarianism?

Then you get things like the platform you're on where in my case it resides in my house and lets me be that big scary admin/mod. Having the ability to purge bad content and actors from a central space is needed for anyone but the most thick skinned masochists to use a platform.
Plenty of people just want to go talk/post without wading through a swamp of the crap that one uncle brings up at Thanksgiving on a regular basis.

Sure, mods will always be necessary when it comes to public/untrusted comms, but just like I don’t want my telco or email provider to decide which/when my TRUSTED contacts can contact me, the same is true for the rest of their speech.
Jumping from platform to platform, server to server each time is a bandaid solution which is not censorship resistant, especially against some totalitarian oppressor. A real fix is a solution (e.g. protocol) that enables me to view a single person/entities/orgs comms regardless of what any middleman decides.
