Tangent, but I remember when I was a kid I would try to explain people that I could “smell” the “air coonditioned air” and everyone was like “what? No you can’t, it’s just air. It doesn’t smell like anything.”
I never did figure out what the smell was. I’m guessing it was some kind of chemical; it wasn’t a bad smell, though. It smelled like ice cubes (which I know, doesn’t make a lot of sense either.)
Anyway, all this to say that a lot of people have very strong senses. (And the other comments about water not being neutral are correct as well!)

I know this isn’t the intent but oh god I never considered that porn sites being blocked would open an avenue for a bloated billionaire to try to capitalize on it for themselves.

I don’t feel like satire that is making fun of important resources is very funny when plenty of people are trying to remove those public resources. Feels like getting mugged at knifepoint and handing them a gun to be ironic.

I’m not sure what people would be trying to access, I suppose. Post history? Things that can be exported, like account settings, generally should be stashed somewhere. Things that can’t be, well… That’s a bit sad but I dunno, I never post anything online that I care so much about I’d be sad if it disappeared. Anything I did care about, I make a backup of it locally.
Not trying to downplay people’s upset, but just pointing out ways to protect the things you care about.

We need leaders, but nobody wants to follow a nobody, and nobody with clout or name recognition or anything that might give them that necessary sense of authority wants to do anything with what they’ve got. And it doesn’t help that leftists don’t respond well to being told what to do by an authority figure.
I’m not saying we’re fucked, but I am saying it was never going to be easy and won’t be going forward no matter what metric you’re using to define movement or success.
The best thing an individual can do is do whatever they can in the sphere of their influence. That’s going to look like something different for everyone, too, so it’s hard to give specific advice or marching orders, however you want to frame it.
For me, it’s making sure to talk to members of my community and hold our mayor and council accountable by showing up to meetings and making our voices known. But I live somewhere where that means something. I’m lucky. I don’t know what to say to people who don’t feel like that’s an option for them.

I’ve got one; bought on a whim at the local farmer’s market from a beekeeper. I kind of hate it though.

Generate (speculative only) profit that they can’t do if you’re putting limits on what the AI can (theoretically, but that’s totally the same thing as real!) do.

Even that amount of interaction can be exhausting/taxing after a while. Hell, even passively observing hateful remarks, even if you never respond to them (which, generally, you shouldn’t. Don’t feed the trolls) is emotionally exhausting. My recommendation is to just curate your community. Make a private space wherever you want, invite your friends and the most positive fans (people who you would like to be friends with perhaps) and that’s it, close the door. YOU decide who gets to come into your house and speak to you.

It wasn’t THIS bad, but I remember recently a massive lifted truck revving its engines in our small town, flying massive trump flags on it went by while I was out for a walk with my husband. I commented, “Now there’s a guy who really wants you to know he’s an asshole” and this dude turned around and gave me the UGLIEST look and shook his head at me lmfao.
