U.S. government websites have gone dark as agencies scrambled to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders declaring his administration would recognize only two genders and ordering an end to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

      Already done.

      Social media is basically the internet for most of the population, and the biggest ones by far (Meta, Timtok) prostrated themselves.

      last year when a number of states started to effectively ban adult content.

      -You could also argue it happened a lot sooner over a decade back when every high traffic website started transforming into a walled garden.

        Yeah, but I mean things like fediverse banned, web archive and Wikipedia blocked, liberal news outlets blocked, etc.

        I give it another year or two, tops, but I feel like it’s coming.

          I have a Facebook page where I posted lots of links to peertube videos. I get an error each time I post another peertube video and the thumbnails don’t show up anymore.

          They’re already banning fediverse content.

          You think anyone in the Trump administration knows about Lemmy. I feel like they hardly even knew about Twitter.
