Their competitors (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, etc) are all moderating the same people to about the same extent.
Are you talking about their clones, like Parler and Gab? They’re fulfilling their role fine as a platform for a niche user base, but they have no shot at competing with Twitter.
- hunterb123 5y agoThose aren't competitors to Twitter. You have to realize that social media is an umbrella for multiple services that barely compete with each other. Youtube = long form video clips, how to / knowledge resource TikTok = short form video clips, successor to vine Snapchat = direct video messages, ephemeral talking Facebook = contact book, classifieds Instagram = living photo album LinkedIn = living resume Pinterest = living recipe / idea book GitHub = living portfolio, giant forum of repos Twitter = communication medium, broadcasts The main FUTURE competitor to Twitter I think is Mastodon. Gab, Truth Social, and a few other services are built upon it. Eventually when a platform comes along with the interface and the will of the people generates a network effect like MySpace to Facebook, Twitter will be done.
