Poor systems thinking. They'd likely use Buffer or a similar social media management platform. Operating their own PDS means they control the source of truth, just like running their own Wordpress instance. Could they pay someone else to host the PDS? Sure, that works too. Either way, it is about controlling their communications infra.

Ok so why would they use a PDS instead of using Buffer?

What do you do if you want to cancel Buffer in the future? Buffer is the orchestration and scheduler, PDS is persistent storage.

I'm not claiming to be a genius. Nothing in this article is evidence of genius. Competence maybe.

You literally complained nobody is calling you one in your first post

Sigh. I was pointing out the difference between when Mamdani does something and when a regular person does the same thing.

To be fair Mamdani has stated that he is a "socialist" numerous times. So I don't think that the characterization is wrong necessarily.

Yeah, I was surprised to see a downvote for that. Isn’t that like his position? I don’t believe in socialism. He seems like a nice guy. These aren’t incompatible.

Your comment adds literally nothing to this discussion. You can't form an opinion on the topic discussed because of your opinion on someones politics. Great, don't comment.

Thats all they have. Literally nothing to offer normal people

This is such a wild thread. Here I have seen firsthand and lived in these areas. Seen firsthand what is allowed and actually deceitfully done under taqiyya. How many times have you even stepped foot in a mosque? You have the information in front of you and it’s almost compulsion that you need to ignore it, and attack me instead. Yes, you are the “normal people”.
