Since the 2016 election Facebook has been cracking down on conservative and pro-Trump content.
Top conservative websites have seen a stunning drop in their Facebook traffic. This was no accident. This was the plan.
In January 2017, Facebook began making algorithm changes to make sure conservative news was no longer so influential. The Gateway Pundit Facebook traffic has consistently decreased with each algorithm change.
A March 2018 study by The Outline organization found conservative publishers were hit the hardest by Facebook algorithm changes. The study also showed that The Gateway Pundit was hit the hardest.

I haven't missed a day on FreeRepublic since I signed up nearly 20 years ago. Sadly it is not a long read now compare to 20 years ago.
LOL - I’m no Diamond or Silk.
JR probably doesn’t have either the funding nor the expertise to put something like that into effect, no disrespect to JR intended, but we’re talking a very expensive project.
The Koch Bros. put plenty of money into Conservative projects.

I know very expensive. But perhaps someday someone would offer and JR would give it over.
I quit Twitter because of being shadow banned for months. They let me out of jail for a day, but then put me back.
The company I workfor just picked gmail as their new email service. It requires a gmail setup homepage. Once that is installed, the browser blocks FR, Lucianne, Redstate, Daily Caller, Fox News, and Rush Limbaugh dot com. All lib sites are a go.
