I think this will be really good for alt tech/alt media in the future, as well. It sucks to watch these guys get censored, but it opens opportunity to bring their followers to better platforms for free speech. I'm wondering how the social media landscape is going to look two years from now.

Yeah, I mean the change to alt media, as you say, is long overdue. I really hope those upcoming tech companies that do promote free speech are kept in line of their core foundation and do not drift for corporate interests through buyouts and takeovers. Money is always an incentive and I won't be surprised if Google exerts its influence over those rising companies. Not to mention the cooperative nature of the already existing giants that work toward mutual benefit. We've seen this happen with YouTube and Google and before Google bought it in 2006 for $1.6 billion, it was also aiming to keep in line with its core foundation, but nope! We're likely to see something happen in the future shall some alternatives arrive to bring some level of competition.
