I would really like an open-source alternative to Facebook. The connection idea with friends via a social network platform I like, the bots and ads and force fed (propaganda) news I really don't like.
Plus, an open source Facebook would really hurt Zuck and that's also a win.
You are absolutely correct. The unfortunate fact is that propaganda works. Even if you know it is propaganda, it still works.
A bit like a placebo in that regard.
