Huge numbers of us do not use Facebook or have abandoned the platform. It needs to be a way more “agnostic” secondary meeting place.

…to shift the whole operation to a server in Canada? I recall something like that during the darkest days of the Dubya administration.

that were to be a scenario that happened there would be no place to go. If they started shutting down all dissent they would shut down all dissent. I know they are already attempting that in small steps, but they will not get that far.

The backlash to what they are doing has been huge. Courts will get involved.

What they are doing is frightening but they are not going to get to that point. It's not going to happen.

I can repel commander William Oates's troops like Col. Chamberlain at Little Round Top.

And they'll all be stymied by the poison oak patch at the bottom of the hill.
