1. I would think every conservative would look to the free market to make better, less biased social networks and websites? 2. You think you will be downvoted here, is it due to humans with differing views or this website’s management’s bias, and what does that mean for your point? 3. Do you not know that conservative talking heads and influencers go wildly viral every hour of every day on all 3 of these networks, reaching audiences far outside their conservative following?

1. Sure, the market will take care of it at some point in the future, but at this point in time those entities are monopolistic. 2. It's simple, liberals are more prone to downvote and censor than conservatives. 3. They reach their followers, Twitter, FB and Google reach everybody.

  1. Most Americans don’t use Twitter at all, could Twitter in particular possibly be a monopoly? What is being monopolized by Twitter specifically? 2. No I am asking do you think people are downvoting you or do you think this website is penalizing you for saying conservative leaning things? 3. Where do you think conservative influencers get their new followers? If they play the game right (posting engaging content that people would want to share) their content goes viral and they get huge algorithmic discovery from new audiences. It’s why you upload a video you want to get lots of views to YouTube instead of Vimeo, the discovery engine helps you get a bigger audience. But it doesn’t mean you are silenced if you upload to Vimeo or even your own website, it just means that you aren’t playing YouTube’s game and as a result won’t get YouTube’s completely free search, related and social traffic boosts.

    1. Most Americans use at least one of the "big 3" and since they all suffer from the same bias, I call it monopolistic. 2. Yes, I think this website (the users who react to the more political posts at least) penalize conservative views. It's not unique to HN of course, if anything it's better than the rest, but it's pretty obvious yes. 3. You compare some personalities that only reach those who are interested in what they have to say with big corps that are unavoidable on the internet and that editorialize every piece of information we're getting, from our news, the video we watch etc.
