__Centralisation is a danger to democracy — Redecentralize.org
This is too much power, and power corrupts. But the question isn’t really about how these platforms should wield their power — the question is whether these platforms should have such power in the first place.
And the answer is a resounding “no”.

Extremists Emboldened by Capitol Attack Pose Rising Threat, Homeland Security Says
Now, just watch the amount of means the US is going to put on its domestic terrorism crisis compared to waging foreign wars.
The single greatest risk for the US right now is domestic, not foreign.

President Biden’s 17 Executive Orders in Detail https://nyti.ms/3qHWRWb
This is the easy part : restoring some of the worst Trump era bad policies that were implemented but the real work, beside attempting to restore America’s broken image and broken record on the worldwide stage, the real work is going to be domestic : how to effectively move away from neoliberal "free market" first dogmatic policies that hurt the majority of the American people and only serve the ultra rich, in short, systemic inequalities, built-in the US system to the point, corporations are effectively above and beyond democracies.
That’s where the battle is, if Democracy is still what represents the American ideal, there is a lot of work to do and to catch-up, Europe, with all its flaws and its own kind of degenerative democracy have a decade, at most, before facing similar challenges that the US just barely resisted to. The damage done cannot be undone.

Two million dead.
It is more people than call the state of Nebraska home. It is roughly equal to the population of Slovenia. And it is more than three times the number of people killed in the American Civil War.

So finding Soundcloud RSS feed is really a pain, it should not be, RSS should be provided upfront and auto-discovery provided when possible, instead I have to dig into the code and find crazy patterns to discover RSS feeds at soundcloud, so if you’re having the same issue, here is how I proceeded :
https://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:597834/sounds.rss
See the number above ? you can inspect the code around the Profile picture of any Soundcloud user and use the number associated to the profile image to get the user ID, once you have it, place your userID this way:
https://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:2999191/sounds.rssBut you’re still confronted to another problem : Soundcloud does not add new tracks/episodes automatically to the RSS feed, you can configure it this way so that new uploads will always be part of the RSS feed but by default design, you have to specify it at each upload.
