   In 2016, the #AntiMedia were publishing thoughtful and inspiring journalism about city governments opening up disused public buildings to the homeless in the UK

   In March 2018, they published a report on the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal, entitled '10 Social Media Networks to Use Instead of Facebook'

   In October 2018, their presence on FB (and the birdsite) were shut down:

   "Censorship" or not, this *is* an abuse of power.

     Some of us saw this coming a decade or more ago, and we have something to offer as a replacement. Rough but ready-to-use, and improving all the time. As the #DataFarms purge themselves of everything but advertising, advertorials, and infotainment, the #fediverse will continue to be a place for activists and independent journalists like Goldfield to go.
