When they cancelled the account of President Trump, I decided I could no longer be part of that platform, even though I loved the interface and the interaction and it was fun to use. The mobile app for Twitter was perfection. I could catch up on my news feed from anywhere.
There was also a huge potential audience on Twitter. One witty reply by me went viral and gained me nearly 1,000 followers over a single weekend. Lot of patriots were out there.
On the other hand, there were quite a few nasty people and I used my "block" button frequently.
Since then, I've tried out Parler, Gab, etc. None of them have gotten any traction to put them in the league of Twitter or Facebook. It's also not the same experience. The mobile apps are either non-existent or just plain crappy.
I will support any conservative friendly platform that emerges from the ashes and gives Twitter/Facebook a run for their money. I think many of us have been taking a break and waiting for the much-ballyhooed "Trump" platform but I'm starting to wonder if that will ever happen. We may need to get behind one of the existing ones at some point.

The problem with that sort of thinking is you and many many others like yourself waiting for that juggernaut to finally come around before jumping on the band wagon means that there wont be any juggernaut because nothing got enough momentum to garner the attention needed.
You did make a good case, however, for why you don’t like any of the alternatives that you tried.
Hopefully one of them, or some other new platform, gets their act together and makes a more user-friendly and fun app.
you considered Twitter a news feed , ha, ha.
