<p>
	Try to find punk bands, live venues, labels, ... which aren't
	on Facebook, Twitter, and other sites ran by extremely well
	known fascist scum.
</p>
<p>
	Same bucket of shit for most kinds of activist organisations,
	particularly LGBT groups: You're trapping yourselves into promoting
	corporations which happily funds or even researches &amp; sells
	military technologies be it weapons or surveillance.<br />
	And that can only ever destroy human lives and rights.
</p>
<p>
	And if you think stuff like arguing online can be worth it
	to even anti-establishment, consider the numerous radio &amp;
	tv shows where they purposfully make the participants argue
	with each others.
</p>
<p>
	So build you own shit and share it with others, come on,
	there's an infinite amount of ways to do this.  And yeah it might
	not end up looking professional but that's the whole point of DIY
	and creating alternatives.<br />
	It's not going to be a shelf product.
</p>
<p>
	"Oh no I'll loose in the contest of getting views/clicks/… and won't get my dopamine!"<br />
	<em>What.</em><br />
	Why did you ever enter that game, specially in such a comformist way,
	it's fucking rigged and even if it weren't, think about who
	profits the most from it.<br />
	You became a product and now you're saying "There Is No Alternative", of all the things.
</p>
<p>
	And best is the lack of reaction on the policing of those platforms,
	they are litterally pulling the "Can't say those words on TV" card.<br />
	Turning people into asepticized "content creators" (blergh), ready for
	mindless consumption.
</p>
<p>
	There, rant done. You can now go back to doomscrolling like a hamster. :)
