I heard Jared Kushner urged Trump to avoid Gab, because Gab wouldn't censor anti-Semites. So Trump went to Parlor, and now Truth Social.
I also hear that Gab is an echo chamber. Like Parlor, Truth Social, and Free Republic.
An "echo chamber" serves a purpose, but it does ghettoize conservatives, preventing us from influencing mainstream, moderate, and independent voters.
Twitter and Facebook are where the audience is. FR, Gab, etc. are members of the choir posting to each other.
I’ve been getting more dissenting opinions on Gab lately. Apparently the left likes free speech too. But it’s definitely not like FB or twitter where really only left is allowed to speak freely and you get ganged up on for dissenting.

There is value to discussion groups where opinions are not censored by Leftists. It allows info to “go viral” among conservatives, who can then cross-post to Twitter and such.
Much of Twitter/Facebook “content moderation” is to stop right wing thought from going viral at an early stage, and stopping budding right wing commentators from building an audience.
RE: “echo chamber”. Well said. I have been thinking this too. Was so happy when I heard Musk was purchasing twitter. We (an our country) need a place to discuss our politics/beliefs openly.
