How in the hell do I get off this timeline? Can someone find Prof. Maximilian Arturo and Quinn Mallory please?!

Pixelfed would be a good use case for this.

I am pretty much done with reddit and Google. My use of those two platforms have dropped to about 5% of my total online time.

am disappointed that they go through the whole article, and never point out that Trump runs his own social media platform, and that might give him a conflict of interest when speaking about Social Media companies

Agreed.

Moreover, any corporate run, non open-source, centralized social media platform is an enemy of the people.

This includes TikTok, Twitter, all of Meta, Truth Social, Reddit, Next-door, and so on.

But wait! There’s more:

Jeff Landry pitches pay hikes for 11 cabinet secretaries

Domestic violence shelter funding cut in Gov. Jeff Landry’s budget pla

Local group urges Gov. Landry to reverse decision to refuse federal food program to children in need

… and the list goes on!

Not exactly what you are looking for, but for now ddg has !gov that will search across us government sites for a search term…

!gov environment or !gov food and so on.

I mean federal government still relies on centralized corporate social media to relay news/updates. No reason they couldn’t host their own mastodon server. But they refuse to. They cannot not even get RSS right most of the time.

I agree with you. There should be a separation of Corp and state. But they will just site costs.

Until we get some of the old kodgers out of there who has been squatting in office since the '80s and replaced with tech savvy socially conscious individuals…this may take awhile.
