    Well ... there are 'free speech' issues, and then
    there's "Just Business" stuff.

    Pixelfed is a sort of competitor, apparently Zuck isn't
    making much money from this. So ...

    It's not as if Zuck DESTROYED Pixelfed, had Joe or
    Trump BAN them or something. Basically all you're
    complaining about is a LINK to Pixelfed on Meta
    and maybe FB.

    Try direct access :
    https://pixelfed.org

    What Joe's people did to Zuck - all the loud threatening
    calls DEMANDING he censor what they wanted and boost what
    they wanted him to boost - now THAT is a 'free speech'
    issue fer-sure ... sounds like a Russia/China/NK kind
    of reality control. 'Disinfo' is bad enough - but ten times
    worse when govts and the authority thereof are pushing the
    false realities.
