All politics aside, I was more sympathetic to the "build your own alternative" argument regarding the general deplatforming trend of the last few years. Now I'm not nearly as sympathetic to that argument.

It seems especially sinister to me, but maybe that's because I'm viewing it outside of a political lens.
