Have you ever played a game even though you knew the rules were stacked against you? That is what Twitter is like. It is run by Jack Dorsey and his team will do a number of different things to stifle conservative comments and their creators. Removing followers is a huge one, so less people see their takes. It gets to be frustrating.
I will stay with Twitter because I like to read everyone's opinions and it is also a good way to monitor the enemy. I don't like Echo Chambers, but Jack needs to open up his platform otherwise it will become one.

U think soc. media is alienating our nation, YET there are at least two more outlets to spew forth hate,
division,fabrication of the facts,AND promote poss. physical violence.... HEY, no wonder we,as a nation,
are SO-O-O sucked up in division.

I do NOT inhabit ANY of those venues....this site allows me to still connect with the mountain....(which is
deeply missed and some of the void is filled)

I have several friends who have run off to parler. As I understand it, that site is a place where misinformation is not tagged as misinformation, where conspiracies are welcomed, and where Q is worshiped. They had complained for months on FB that their evidence had been deleted and censored by FB because "libruls can't handle the truth." It looks to me a lot like 4chan.

It's sad that there is a parallel universe where alternative facts are welcomed.

Why is it always the Left that is so distrustful of free speech?

And why is it the Left thinks they don't fall for conspiracy theories? Like the idea that an American election could be overturned by a few thousand dollars spent by the Russians. Never proven. And highly unlikely with Hillary Clinton spending over one billion dollars to be elected.

HA, you should try some social media like here. If you want more leftwing conspiracy theories, I suggest democraticunderground.com.

This isn't anything new. There have been crackpot websites from both sides since the internet started.

It's not being "distrustful of free speech," it's knowing that lies, conspiracies, and disinformation is dangerous to society at large.

I will not go to democraticunderground or any other left wing conspiracy sites. That's also disinformation. It saddens me that friends I thought were intelligent are swallowing conspiracy theories like the Biden laptop story or, even worse, the antivax crap. So many of them say they have thousands of documents that prove their story, yet it's almost always linked to a right wing web site.

Sadly the anti-vaxer's are a bipartisan group. On the good news side of things, if Pfizer gets the speedy approval they want, vaccines could start being given to seniors by 12/10. Great news.
