There's a little something called "network effects" you should read up on

• shortformblog 6y ago
  If you get banned from a mall for making a disturbance, you lose access to the stores within that mall, despite the fact that those stores may be valuable to you. Just because there are network effects at play does not for a second mean that a private business loses the right to regulate who it has as a customer.

    I was replying to someone saying gO MaKe yOuR oWn TwItTeR oR ReDdIt you absolute twit your analogy doesn't even begin to apply. I can go to another mall if I'm banned. there isn't another dominant social network. Getting banned from Facebook and Twitter is like having your phone line cut off by Ma Bell in 1950, not like getting kicked out of a mall you incredible dunce

      That someone was me. You were literally responding to me. I was responding to you because you should create your own Twitter or Reddit if you don’t like how they’re operated. They have no right to offer you access if you don’t want to follow their rules.
