I’d say having these groups coordinate in a platform where government officials are able to gain easy access is better than banning them and forcing them to move to more secure methods of communication.
With that being said, I do think most social media (even Lemmy) could do a better job at vetting what content is recommended to or seen by users.
Mandatory disclaimer: I in no way support these groups or their beliefs.
