I don’t do Twitter, but it seems there could be a conservative-run alternative to Twitter. Why hasn’t some conservative group been working on this? Why is Twitter being allowed to control and humiliate conservative members?

Sure, people are trying to start them up.

You know what they face? Collusion from Big Tech:

1. Apps that directly access the website get banned from the App Stores;

2. Even general purpose browsers - ones for protocols NOT based on HTTP - get banned from stores if they DO NOT ACTIVELY BLOCK these right-wing alternative domains;

3. Web hosting companies reject them, or throw them off after initially accepting them because the host company gets threatened;

4. Payment processing companies refuse to do business with them;

5. They get vilified in the press because bad people post dumb things - and then if illegal, get banned afterwards...
...meanwhile bad people post dumb things on the mainstream platforms, and if liberal, never get banned;

Etc., etc.

Check out the history of Gab, Bitchute, Parler, Minds, etc. to see what goes on.

The word is:Collusion.

This is exactly the case.

There are alternatives but the big players collude to block them.
