The tech oligarchs at Google, Apple, and Amazon can squeeze you out if you get too popular.
The simple solution is to stop giving them money. I use DuckDuckGo, I don't have Amazon Prime, I buy my shit off eBay, I don't have a smartphone, I just try to give as little of my money as possible to these companies. Obviously it's impossible to cut them out altogether, but I try.

Both Facebook and Twitter have lost billions off their value in the last day. It's probably a temporary loss, but that depends if an alternative can be established.

Parler never was a viable alternative. Gab might be.
