I just messaged them and asked them to invest in their platform and consider the Fediverse. Everyone should reach out to them support@newpress.com and let them know a great way to take the power back is to own your own content.

It would be amazing if they go that route.

Unfortunately I expect they will prioritise profits.

Still, we shouldn't disgard imperfect allies.

They got back to me and said they're focused on getting their platform up and running at the moment, but it's something they're consider in the future.

While it isn't a win, it's not a loss. We're chipping away. Big Tech will die by a billion cuts, and we will help free others. We just need more folks chipping away.

See someone you might think could help, just reach out and ask. The odds are, it'll be a no. The odds are it'll be a maybe later. But those odds are getting better and better daily for us. People are waking up.

Speak out. Help those even hear about it for the first time. We'll get there. We have 30 years to undo. No better time to start than now.
