There's going to be a lot happening over the next few months: voter suppression and disinformation in the push towards Election Day, challenges to election results, potentially mass mobilization if red lines are crossed. Mark F--ing Zuckerberg and Apartheid Clyde are going to promote disinformation and hate (because it makes them a lot of money, and because it helps the fascists) and reduce visibility of any information that challenges the regime. It's a mistake to rely on them for news in a time like this, and let's hope that more and more people realize that and decide to do something about it.

Suppose people show up in fedi looking for an alternative for an alternative to Meta and other centralized social networks for following the news about the 2026 US midterms. What advice to give them -- hashtags, Lemmy and Piefed communities, accounts to follow, and so on?
