I think in the present climate, the majority of the high profile center-to-left people one would most want to see on the platform, could not afford to risk the social signal of posting there. Things are too polarized, and every move is a signal of which binary side you’re on. There would have to be some very compelling reason to post there that I have not yet been able to imagine. And if only individuals and/or content moves there solely because said individuals/content are unwelcome on Twitter, then it’s just Gab or Parler again. Even the good-faith people who want a “freer” Twitter for everyone (insert your favorite conception of “freer”) don’t want another Gab/Parler.
