    I think this is a valuable point.

    I saw the headline and thought “and nothing of value was lost”. But reading this was a privilege check. I’ve never needed Twitter or anything else to help resist because my way of life isn’t really being challenged.

    I think it’s a lesson as you point out. Don’t trust corporations. And I would add don’t trust centralized platforms either. But decentralization is a two edged sword. You’re protected from a single entity’s agenda, but the dispersed nature of a decentralized platform will make it more difficult to come together for a cause.
