I agree we tried to co-exist but let's face it, conservatives need to build their own platforms in this media age. We cannot be at the mercy of leftist snowflakes in silicon valley. The same thing that happened with Reddit, needs to happen with Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook. At some point some entrepreneurs with an eye on the future will follow the trends build businesses that cater to conservatives, let's hope that it happens sooner than later.
Because the_donald was a source of true information and memes. Other social networks are just pandering to attention whores, so the biggest networks will still thrive.
Diaspora. Was made to be a fakebook killer but needs more people to use it... Would like to see the owners of this place looking into making a pod for the users since that is kinda the point since control falls towards the owner of the pod rather then a central location... I don't use twatter but it has it intergrated... a bit of funding/elbow grease could get it to work with Gab.ai and other sites... Most of these places either need hands to help or funding.
I’m independent. It’s really scary that the entirety of censorship seems to be left people censoring right people though. I come to The Donald because it’s one of the only uncensored counterpoints of news on the open internet.
All the alternatives to The Donald are echo chamber crapfests like MSM sites, r/pol, etc. It’d be really nice if there was a site like this for counter points, but I don’t think that would be possible in the current group think climate. They actively believe that disagreement is an act of violence when it’s against anything they were told to believe. That’s a big part of the beliefs underlying postmodernism.
At a meta level, most of this is postmodernism battling it out with traditional values and common sense that built a nice enough world to allow drivel like postmodernism to have a chance to exist and be heard.
This seems like a good idea but in practice is a form of digital flight. Big tech firms are counting on conservatives to run to these smaller outfits (that will never have the amount of use mainstream ones have) so that they can control even more of the narrative. We need serious reform of these tech companies, alternatives become ghettos way too quickly.

It's happened! The sites are built, but very few are using them.. :(
