American social media companies write the algorithms that determine what voters read; moderation systems are opaque; political advertising cannot always be tracked. Do European democracies, or any democracies, really have sovereign elections anymore?

It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps.
That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it
If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

Not all of St. Louis is closed. Soulard is not closed. Hammerstone's is open. Other places will be open as well because the owners and/or staff live in the nabe and just walk downstairs or walk up the unplowed street to work.

His post-presidency was seen by many as a model for future chief executives. Rather than vanish from view or focus on moneymaking, he established the Carter Center to promote peace, combat disease and tackle social inequality.
