A/I Shuts Down

A/I is Autistici/Inventati, nothing to do with algorithms.

Why this matters: to quote senior advisor and journalist Anne Roth:

20,000 mail accounts. 20,000 blogs. 5,000 mailing lists. 1,500 websites.

In Europe.

Run by volunteers of @cavallette, perfectly legal, and decidedly antifascist, feminist, queer.

Destroyed and shut down by Trump's administration, extra legally.

This is one of the most devastating cases of politically motivated debanking I have come across.

Triggered by my own comment, I thought this might be a good starting point for a discussion about how to secure platforms not only technically, but also socially and financially.

Mods: this is my first submission, feel free to tell me how to improve. I had a hard time choosing a tag, but I think this may be relevant to the community.
