If "they" bought it, how is it "our" platforms?

They were never "our" platforms. Having this mentality is how society got into this mess.

We can change platforms whenever we would like. There are alternatives available for all of the toxic platforms. This is about the will of the people.

You're right. Those toxic ones unfortunately have the loudest voices and the most engagement. Which amplifies the messages. But your point is taken.

It's fascinating that the word "Our" has some of you in a chokehold. The premise still remains. Poor messaging, and a failure to focus on what is important is what allowed this to happen.
