There is a significant shift going on that people aren't realizing. The days of the "platform" being a monopoly over users is coming to an end. The cost of running a website, even a bandwidth heavy website is going lower. As major social networks and platforms crack down on controversial content, these communities don't vanish. They simply move to some other place. In the conservative community this idea of "censorship" is increasing to the point where it is becoming a serious movement. Many alternatives to mainstream media are actually gaining a decent userbase. Here is what is going on that I can see:
Twitter is replaced by parler
Youtube is replaced by bitchute
Reddit subs are replaced by thedonald.win (you can get your sub hosted by them now)
Twitch is replaced by dlive
Just to show you the growth of some of these platforms. Just look at the growth of thedonald.win. Apparently it is ranked at something like 1,250 for the USA by Alexa. That's staggering considering this website is only a few years old.
If you are a web entrepreneur, take note because there is a growing market for "conservative" or "censorship-free" social media now.
- joshschreuder 6y agoIt's ranked 8,648 from what I can tell https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thedonald.win https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thedonald.win I have never heard of the other sites you mention, so I can't speak to their popularity. But as far as I can see this all seems very fringe for lack of a better word. There doesn't really seem to be a groundswell of movement towards alternate platforms because of censorship.
- Eezee 6y agoCalling bitchute fringe seems to be very kind. I just took a look at their front page and they are promoting videos about Holocaust denial and 2 of the first 10 videos are blatantly antisemitic. Parker requires an account, which I'm not willing to make, but if it's similar to the last conservative Twitter alternative Gab, it's all just racist drivel with barely any 'normal' conversations. While alternatives to the big corporate social media are obviously needed, they very often attract the most toxic members of society, which most sane people won't be comfortable associating with.
