Ditching Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube for a 2and rate alternative does not solve the problem. Part if me applauds gab, bitchute, and others, but it is a copout that refuses to check the powers in the main social media companies. That is what needs to happen. Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, and Susan Wojcicki need to be ousted and their policies of selective censorship destroyed. Use gab, bitchute, etc. as backups.

Ever Gab and Parler are almost all political posting. I tried to get some art stuff going on Gab, not a lot of room there.

I hear a lot about 2nd rate sites. In my opinion their second rate due to a lot of the comments In here.

If you go to a place like Gab and Parler, and dont try to bring your i terest up to add more then politics, those sites never had a chance, and weren't given one

Excellent point. We need to generalize the principles the founding fathers perfected for soapboxes so that they apply across the board to modern social media. In the modern world, free speech isn't just about me saying whatever I want out loud to myself, or posting it on some obscure forum nobody visits. It's about knowing that when I say something, it will actually appear in the timelines of people following me and that it will be fairly reflected in trending statistics if it warrants it. It's about having a fair marketplace of ideas on ALL platforms so that evil assholes can't brainwash the population so easily. This is an urgent requirement because past brainwashing already has a quarter of polled American voters leaning socialist.
