So....conservatives should just roll over and say, "Oh okay, censorship is just fine. It's fine that my views aren't permitted on the social media platforms that the majority of the world uses. I won't be upset or complain or fight it. I'll just go somewhere else with far less reach."
Congratulations, that's exactly what they want you to do.
Yes, your voice has been scrubbed from the public forum of the day; the town square of the day. Yes you can go to a back alley and scream til your heart’s content but you won’t reach anyone. You won’t engage in debate with anyone whose opinion you may be able to influence. You won’t change anyone’s mind. That’s the problem. How can we fight an election campaign in 2024 when all the news outlets shut us out and we are blocked from all relevant corners of the web? On our own platform with tiny handfuls of our own people? Not a chance.
