Politics is just a small part of twitter, the overwhelming majority of twitter content is music, sports, entertainment etc, so a potential silo effect isn't much to be concerned about. Most people just don't engage in politics on social media because it's a soul draining exercise and generally not time well spent unless you're a political junkie that enjoys exchanging barbs with friends and strangers online. So is it possible some of the conservative political content on twitter might wane? Sure, but that's just a fact of life, some communities online just lean a certain direction. Finally, conservatives are not in exile from social media, just about every prominent conservative has an active twitter account with millions of followers and there are millions of conservatives posting all over twitter right now and this is something that can be trivially verified. The bottom line is that none of this is a big deal, it's politics flavored tabloid gossip.
