So, the obvious solution is to create another platform that is even more transparently political.
Twitter is transparently political and yet it wasn't removed from the only two phone platforms that exist in the west like Parler.
Wonder why?

Social media in small driven and algorithmic echo chambers is ruining this country.
The solution to Twitter and Facebook is to stop using them. Not to create your own.
All this is going to do is further divide and galvanize the extremes in this country.
This will create the civil war primer.
This is the equivalent of hating fast food companies because of how much sodium and sugar they use so you create a new fast food company that only uses high fructose corn syrup and salt substitutes.
You didn’t solve a problem. You just created a new problem.
Maybe a better comparison is:
That bar over there bans anyone who doesn’t support BLM.
So I’m going to open my own bar. And I’m going to write frick BLM in all the windows. We won’t ban anyone but we will relentlessly attack anyone who comes in and doesn’t agree with us.
This is not helping to create discussion or foster civil discourse or bring people together. This is just furthering the divide. And I can’t support that.

this is where they pretend that censorship of conservatives on Twitter/facebook doesn’t exist

It does exist.
Why keep pulling it up every morning at 6:30 AM and bringing it here? Why keep using Amazon? Apple? Microsoft? Insert trigger corporation here?

Nobody is trying to solve a problem. What reality are you living in anyway? The admin has Marxist policies that actively divide the country. The media, every day, is intentionally micro aggressing the public on as many issues as humanly possible with malicious intent. This isn’t going anywhere because the politicians, PACs, and foreign influence, including the WEF, want people as divided as possible

It's hard to reason with people who think it's perfectly fine that Trump is banned on Twitter, but it's ok to have Taliban and ISIS accounts still hanging around

Ah yes, the ol "start your own media company", "start your own server company", "start your own bank", "start your own currency" if you don't like it line.

When they banned people from the leading social media platforms because their political leanings....did you really think they'd just sit back and do nothing?
If the authoritarian left wants to cleanse their platforms of people they don't like, I see no reason why anyone who opposes them shouldn't have a place to socialize and discuss topics that interests them too. The more you subjugate and belittle those people, the more difficult they are going to be to control and govern. And that's exactly what we are seeing here. Every step you take to censor them, isolate them, or misrepresent them just adds fuel to the fire and reduces your own influence.

National attention and attraction to a dedicated right echo chamber. It’s going to attract some psychos. It’s going to snowball out of control.
The amount of ridiculous nonsense posted on this platform and then blown up in the media as a representation of the conservatives in this country is going to be disgusting.

The argument of hey just don't participate in society by them is always a fun one to throw around

Not a lot of intellectual honesty from that bunch. They even call themselves liberal while they cheer for censorship and cancel culture.

Trump isn't on Twitter so why are you?
I'm actually not even against you here on this topic. I do think it's hilarious that so many are triggered because of freaking social media when the vast consensus is social media is such a waste of time and a scourge. Just sound off here and don't worry about hurt feelings on Big Twit.
