Are you talking Twitter or X? X is in many ways much closer to TruthSocial than any other platform currently is [1] [2]. The only thing that grounds X a bit is the (old) Twitter user base that’s still on there, which is and has been declining.
It’s also interesting that your view of progressive might be different than mine. In this current age, I guess even advocates for DEI are considered too “progressive”. Which (in my opinion) relates more to a shift of right to far right, which shifts the balance, and people mistake it for what are really just centric viewpoints being “leftist”.
To me, BlueSky is the best current alternative to what Twitter originally was.

- concordDance 1y agoIs DEI really centrist? I thought it was progressive left... It definitely used to be. Do we have any surveys on this?
- hashstring 1y agoIt’s not exactly what I meant. I meant that any form of DEI is now considered “too progressive” by some, which has to deal also with right shifting to far right, which in turn shifts what is generally considered centrist. Ultimately, DEI can mean thousands of things, and what is “progressive” left or “extreme” right to some may be centrist to others.
