President Trump has been awfully quiet since he was banned from Twitter and Facebook and it’s unsettling to more than just me. Everyone misses his mean tweets…even media types who claim they don’t. Their boredom is palpable. Jim Acosta is tweeting about other people talking about Trump.
Psaki at WH briefing: "This may be hard to believe. We don't spend a lot of time talking about or thinking about president Trump here. Former president Trump, to be very clear."

We all know that the political world will only be exciting again when Trump is unmuzzled. So why is he waiting? I’ve been experimenting with alternative platforms since the great purge began, where thousands of pro-Trump accounts were banned around the same time as the president’s. Parler was okay until it got purged as well. But the established survivor that is still operating with no issues is Gab.
In the past two weeks, I’ve had more activity on Gab than I get on Twitter. Twitter is notorious for “shadow-banning” conservative accounts, so even if you have thousands of followers, the only way they will see your tweets is if they go to your page. They won’t see them in a news feed because of algorithms that filter out unwanted content according to Twitter’s opinions of what is good and what isn’t. Gab, on the other hand, does not filter content and I have more activity there with only a few hundred followers than I do on Twitter with thousands.
There’s no doubt that Gab is growing and growing fast. PJM reached out to Gab owner Andrew Torba to ask him about the site’s explosion.

Gab owner Andrew Torba remarks about the site’s explosion:
“In the past 30 days alone Gab’s services have been used by 33 million people resulting in 260m+ page views which is more than many of the top legacy media companies. Tens of millions of people are fleeing from Silicon Valley mind prisons and moving to Gab and other alt-tech services. Gab is still online today because we survived years of deplatforming from dozens of service providers by building our own infrastructure that we can’t be banned from.”
Because Parler is taking way too long to get back online. Maybe firing the CEO will speed things up, but in the meantime Gab is the only viable alternative to Twitter for conservatives, and it's not all that great.
Let’s get President Trump on FRee Republic.
the silent treatment is very effective in driving people crazy...
OPSEC
Holy !!@@$# That would light the place up!😁
We really haven’t herd from him so there’s something to it. That frightens the left more than it concerns me.
Is President Trump merely a member of the “herd,” or still it’s leader?
Gab is better than Twitter. I like everything about it, especially when using it on my laptop.
Bill Maher is worried. LOL! Trump is being too quiet for him.
Trump has nothing further to talk about on social media. He won the election.
He’s quiet as a church mouse...er...white shark
Telegram is pretty secure, reliable and has a number of conservatives on it. Gives me just as much as Twitter used to with much less hassle. Easier to use that Parler or Gab too IMO
“ We really haven’t herd from him so there’s something to it. That frightens the left more than it concerns me”
It gives ME great comfort
foresight!
I concur. Why give people like Acosta anything to play with?
Best for him to wait until his Senate “trial”, even though it’s illegitimate as hell, is over before returning to the spotlight.
I remember when people complained that President Trump used Twitter. Now they can see if he hadn’t what it would be like. The media reported 95 percent negative, he had to provide his own news.
Donald Trump does what he wants.
