Technofeudalism is when online platforms deny free speech and other liberties found in democracies around the world that follow the principles of the Enlightenment. For example, Lemmy is technofedualist because it is ran by authoritarian communists who do not support personal liberties such as free speech. Due to the collectivization of farmland and the rapid levels of industrialization and technological development under the Soviet Empire, Stalin is widely considered to be the first technofeudalist.
Whereas, reddit, X, and Facebook support the market place of ideas and are technodemocratic institutions. The use of these platforms can encourage those suffering under tyranny to learn about their personal rights and freedoms not given to them by their regimes, this is why Venezuelans are not allowed to access the internet under Castro-Chavezism.
