    It’s More so not being given an alternative then stalkholm syndrome, btw that is actually a made up term by police.

    It was originally use to explain why hostages side with their agressers, making it a psychological problem rather then admitting that the kidnappers might have actually been making good points and the captives actually agreeing with them and cooperateing.

      There are a ton of alternatives. Signal. Lemmy. Bluesky. Mastodon.

      Just as examples…

      Yes, and I’m not describing an actual human hostage situation so I think the term fits fine.
