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?
Why isn't there one total conservative TV station owned or funded by rich conservatives?
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.
Why should conservatives be kicked to some dark corner of the web only to preach to the choir while liberals are allowed unrestricted access to the popular websites enjoyed by millions?
There is. It’s called Parler. Most conservatives have moved there but still use Twitter. I closed my Twitter account but even if you aren’t joined you can follow the President’s tweets. A lot of well known conservatives (Dan Bongino, Laura Loomer, Sheriff Clarke) are already there.

Joining a conservative equivalent is grounds for dismissal in employment.
A network anchor got chastised for it.
Apple would ban your app.
The banks and advertisers would demonetize and blacklist you.
“I don’t do Twitter, but it seems there could be a conservative-run alternative to Twitter. “
I’ll do you one better. Social media needs to be broken up by topic. Politics is to have its own area for chat. No left and right wing and no censors. You want to go there and call Obama a monkey, it cannot be censored nor your account suspended.
That will fix this problem.
This is from casual observation over the years:
Because they have backing of a massive leftist machine infesting every level of the governing/economic hierarchy. Any competitor would be dealing with the very same resistance that President Donald Trump deals with daily. How many are going to survive that.
Plus as soon as the competitor does become visible, they are targeted for takeover or destruction.
So it's just not as simple as it sounds.
One call from the machine and the new competitor is denied ISP access, banking services and subject to IRS persecution.
Put a member we pick in control of your operation? Maybe we'll buy you out. Make you a millionaire, shut down your operation but roll the brand into our machine. Never mind those jobs, we have some friends who will do it...
Free market? Pfff...
