    I’m on board with abandoning mainstream social media, but my point is that your suggestion would not solve the problem just relocate it.

It’s nice seeing the EU taking some positive steps, but we will not see the US take any steps in that direction anytime soon, due to corporate capture of their politicians and the AI companies all being in the top 10 most wealthy companies in the US.
