You are so right... it is very unsettling to realize that we could be isolated into these little bubbles and literally have no idea what is really happening. I am reminded of the protests in France where when people on Instagram searched "France" they got all the happy tourist photos. But many were talking about it on Tiktok. It was also suppressed by mainstream news for a bit so if you weren't on Tiktok, you would have no idea that a significant part of the world was on fire.

To now see suppression on Tiktok too means we could be flying in the dark very soon - which is why it is incredible that Nostr exists. I'm new here but am very impressed with the crowd.

I also saw a news article shared here about Facebook removing the "news" tab. It is very interesting timing with the forced take over of TikTok and recent suppression across many apps. I'm not sure what to make of it, but it feels like a global positioning of suppression to make sure chaos is not reported. This is similar to what happened with the train derailments in Ohio and Maui fires. These events popped off quickly on Tiktok but then suddenly went unreported around the first series of Tiktok banning conversations where TikTok was forced to run the data through Oracle servers in Texas. I'm not sure how it all interlinkes together but it feels concerning at a deep level that is hard to explain.
