Well, the rise of tyranny and censorship has been going on for a very long time now, and censorship isn't new. People have been getting 30 day Facebook bans for harmless statements, YouTube channels getting canceled, and all of the other nonsense long before 2020. Its not really a new thing. But yes, when the main stream options become trash, people seek alternatives. BBSing is one of those alternatives.
