A lot of Twitter users are moving their followers to Substack. Check out what Balaji is doing.
The social network MeWe is growing rapidly. There is always room for competition but the people complaining censorship are defeatist.
- rosmax_1337 6y agoNot to fall into the category of being "defeatist" even more, but platforms that actually pose a threat to the established social media channels (like Parler did), get a very special kind of treatment by the "FAANG-cartel" as you might have noticed. The solution is political change, imo, irregardless of all the problems that come with policing a multinational website like Twitter.
- ketamine__ 6y agoI think the argument can be made MeWe and Substack actually pose more of a threat to the established order because they are mainstream. Parler isn't competing with Twitter or Facebook because the average person doesn't want to see a feed full of white supremacist's discussing conspiracy theories.
- lawnchair_larry 6y agoYou’re far more likely to see that on Twitter than you were on Parler.
- ketamine__ 6y agoIt's concentrated on Parler. Are there any liberal or moderate groups using their service? Parler's only redeeming quality is that it had all of the footage from the attack on the Capitol. It would have made a good honeypot but now it looks to be weaponized as a Russian disinformation project.
