  The normie audience is still on Twatter, and that's the problem for Conservative speakers.

  When Trump was on Twitter he would be able to reach out and convince tens of millions of moderates

  Alt tech like Gab, Parler got deplatformed hard and normies think they are 'alt-right nazi' platforms. Fuck, even Joe Rogan said that.

  As long as Twatter has normies, alt-tech won't be able to win

    so I guess we could or should strategize how to get people to leave

    why did we want to leave

    why would normies want to leave

    a lot of posting is for attention (by that I don't simply mean to be seen or have interaction, but purposeful engagement)

    so there's the challenge of the network effect

    but I guess you could sell the idea of there being maybe more quality posters on other platforms

    or what other features come to mind I guess that would appeal to normies?

    Part of it to me is that simply many people don't even know of the existence of alternatives

      Yeah, that's the problem. Big accounts don't want to abandon their followers...

      Followers don't want to migrate to niche alt tech platforms because there isn't enough interesting/normie content...

      I suggested to MasterOfBalls that mirroring the "hot" content from Reddit might be a fast way to catch a bigger audience

      Fake it till you make it
