It is weird that all the "resistance" communities seem to organize and advertise through Facebook or other corporate/gov't institutions.

There are still a couple going out there. We did have someone recently on a local 30 year old email-list call for moderation, which was entertaining.

It is indeed weird yet understandable.
Most folks are low-tech and/or lazy.
And there are only so many fields we can become experts in.
Many folks have only become aware since COVID. I knew most of this shit before COVID - ONLY because I had the luxuries of time and curiosity on disability self-isolated.
