<h1 class="title">Alt tech is a scam</h1>

The purpose they're supposed to serve is to provide a "free speech" alternative to big tech, but in reality they're merely an auth-right version of big tech, which is auth-left.\
If you really want free speech, you should make your own Fediverse instance, or better yet, make your own website.\
Or do both, so you can use your own website to broadcast any opinion you want without sanction, and use Fedi for shitposting and/or advertising of your articles on your own website in case your target audience consists of zoomers who have no idea what the hell an RSS is.

Also, pretty much every single alt tech platform with the exception of Rumble is [Cuckflared](/glossary#cuckflare), so you know they're NSA honeypots by default.\
While it sounds like Rumble is the only safe alt tech platform, that one is running on AWS servers, which is also [pretty questionable](https://time.com/5929888/amazon-parler-aws/) to see they're still allowed to be around.
