Ive posted it just yesterday, before Twitter made its plans to hire a nanny team for Trumps tweets public, and it fits like a glove:

yes, if a person, like for example milo or alex jones, exceeds a certain level of fame, publicity or following, then him being censored wont work and only make him more famous in the short run.

but in the long run, deplatforming does limit the potential for growth. especially with moderates and centrists who might have started following the guy if they had stumbled across his content and liked it, but now wont ever get to see him because deplatforming has limited the reach of his content to the right-wing echo chamber where it will only reach people who support his arguments and point of view anyway.

and obviously, censorship does stop aspiring conservative influencers dead in their tracks and prevents them from ever reaching this threshold of fame. yes, censorship by the tech giants was not able to stop alex jones or milo entirely (although it slowed them down), but it was able to stop the next milo or alex jones from emerging, from ever gaining traction.

the real damage done by censorship lies not in the muting of famous voices, it lies in the less famous voices that we never get to hear at all.

I've never followed a leader

Gab is responding to the censorship and DNS-level attacks on it by launching a new and updated version of their site, with open source decentralized hosting, allowing anyone to set up a Gab server
they could still have access to their apps limited by app store gatekeepers, but it would still be accessible through browsers and other such programs.

no one claimed that they are completely censored yet. but at the same time, no one, not even you, can deny that censorship of conservatives on social media is picking up pace, so anyone with more than 2 brain cells can see what the endgame will be. Gab et al preparing accordingly while they still can is the logical thing to do.

what's picking up pace is these giant platforms having no idea how to deal with outrage culture mixed in with trying to allow a variety of content while dealing with scared advertisers not wanting to deal with headaches

and that is affecting everyone including non political content creators.

it's just conservatives are snowflakes on this issue because it's politically useful, it never has needed to be true to be useful

What we have seen is that conservatives are really the only ones that benefit from this. The trans people dealing with this aren't seeing the mass donations and rallying, the non-right comedians affected by this aren't seeing the donations pour in like the conservatives

This is something that is affecting all content creators in some way but the conservatives are the ones profiting off of it successfully
