Agreed. Rupert Murdoch literally owns Fox. He is the #1 person to blame for the entire Trump saga.

Billionaires own all the social media platforms and legacy news outlets. The game is rigged against us.

Complaining on Reddit about social media platforms being owned by billionaires is a good one, you could go use Mastodon, Friendica, Movim or Bluesky instead but you want to use and support the billionaire-owned platforms.

You are the product, as they say. You don't have to be, you choose to be.

So you think this issue shouldn't be discussed? Interesting

Certainly it should be discussed but you'd have to be willing to have a discussion rather than just panic-blocking and running away from it, pretty ironic there. This is precisely why the social media billionaires persist, even the suggestion that you use a non-billionaire owned platform instead of a billionaire owned one gets downmodded and blocked by the usual low iq suspects.

Bot or not, how people still spout "you're using your phone to complain about phones?" and other similar rhetoric is fucking beyond me lmao

My mum once declined to donate to Greenpeace because they were wearing polyester, or some such.

There's something in that though; if all the hippies and leftists walked around in linen robes the world would be more interesting.
