What you are suggesting would be the equivalent of telling the USA to fight in WW2 by staying at home and shooting at the skies.
Wars are fought by actively attacking the enemy.
It's like telling him to red-pill people on Patriots.win, we are all red-pilled here, so his efforts would be basically useless.
if you get my point
Not a useful analogy. Two completely different things with no shared context.
Continued use of twitter creates revenue for the provider and legitimizes the medium as a form of expression. Those are both antithetical outcomes for us.
Twitter becomes irrelevant when the user base migrates elsewhere and takes all content of value with it. There is no other strategy required.
Just hear me out.
The only people leaving Twitter are conservatives and those who somehow got red-pilled right?
But there is still a huge user base on Twitter, consisting of lefties and normies who don't know better right?
Now guess where the conservatives and other who are looking for free-speech are headed...GAB
Now that means there are 2 platforms, each for people with similar opinions, on GAB, we are talking about what (let's say 95%) of the people on the platform know.
On Twitter, the woke mob is spreading misinformation and propaganda, to which most are ignorant about and take on face value and the other 5% who know better on Twitter, just look on and do nothing about it.
Now my whole point is we are in an information war, and war is war, in whatever way it is being fought.
So I get your argument, leave Twitter and let it die from loss of a massive user base, but that there is the problem, about only 15% of Twitters world-wide base left it and that there is the problem, did it lose revenue?-Yes, did enough people leave twitter-Nope
How many people are joining alt tech, very few...it's basically just conservatives and a few normies seeing the light....transfer that on a global scale and we have already lost the war.
Probably we already lost it a long time ago.
Everything you say is valid, but I don't see twitter getting irrelevant anytime soon.
Unless, there is a way of red-pilling people of big-tech to join alt tech and that is provided alt-tech is providing a unique set of features as well
I understand what you are saying. It is what has been said for years and years now, and is no longer carrying weight. The only people still saying that are the ones addicted to the old services.
The only valid reason to use the big tech services now is to solicit migrations to the alt platforms.
Example Twitter post: "The great content you are looking for is not here on Twitter, due to tyrannical policies and censorship, but you can find it over here <link-to-alt-tech>."
Vote with your wallet. Do not shop there anymore. Be principled with your choices.
You don't have to worry about what the normies are doing. If what you are doing is profound, and self evident, it will be seen, even if it is not happening on Twitter.
Promoting your works is trivially easy using any one of the hundreds of other communication mediums. Make those platforms relevant by ensuring they are the only place to find high value content.

Got it. Makes sense.
