    This is why the fediverse matters. Kimmel or Colbert, right now they can turn to platforms like YT and will still be able to get the voice out.

    But guess what. The same corporatism that control ABC control google. You live on their platforms your message is dependent on their approval.

    The future is free; the future is federated.

        How we monetize might need to change. Maybe less ads, more donations? Budgets will have to go down, but that’s not so bad if the leash finally comes off.

      As an immediate illustration to your point apparently Reddit politics has apparently been removing this story left and right.

        Out of curiosity, I went and checked the front page of r/all. Of the current top 25 posts, these are the ones which pertain to the Kimmel situation followed by their respective subreddit:

        /1. news /2. askreddit /3. cringetiktoks /7. technology /9. nofilternews /10. politics /13. fauxmoi /14. facepalm /18. whitepeopletwitter /23. popculturechat

        The post on r/politics pertains to before the show was pulled, but it was posted after it was officially pulled. Some subreddits do delete repeat posts that are about the same story to keep the discussion all in one thread, so maybe that has happened with that subreddit?

        [Edit: added slashes to prevent auto-formatting from changing the numbers]

          I’ll try to find the one I navigated to but they kept getting closed for being “off topic”.

          Also I’d argue the FCC making a threat and ABC actually pulling the guy are 2 separate stories.

          I don’t think it’s some Reddit wide cabal as much as R/Politics sucking
