Racists.

No, it wasn't. It was quite poorly said, honestly. I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to imply, here. Are you suggesting Jan. 6 was some kind of inside job? Such as?

How big, then? At what point, exactly, do these new rules kick? How do you determine that? Why does 'serving a public function' automatically change things? I never said they were. My point was that they're allowed to speak out against trans-rights all they want, and haven't been hindered by...

So Twitter has to be treated differently just because it's big? What if CF were to become as big as Twitter, would it have to change things up, too? As I understand it, the policy just people from deliberately referring to someone outside of their chosen pronoun or original name. It doesn't...

I doubt that highly. I'd say they were misunderstanding the argument for gay marriage - or, at least, my argument for gay marriage. I would also point out that there's no set definition of what a marriage must and must not be and that the definition has changed over time as culture shift But...

Are they doing that, though? I know that's the accusation, but I've actually yet to see any hard data to suggest that's the case. Individual cases are always brought up, but I can find cases where those on the left are banned over petty stuff, too. When you have systems this big, there's always...

And nothing compared to what Twitter does. Keep in mind, Twitter's been around for years, pretty much everyone has it already, so beating it in the downloads isn't all that impressive at this point. We're still talking about a site that gets millions of hits versus one that gets billions. The...

A 'massive number'? How many is a 'massive number? Because, as far as I can tell, there's been no mass migration of Twitter users to Parler. While it's true that Parler did get a boost around January, that didn't correspond with any real dip in Twitter's userbase. It's been steady around the 6...

Such as?

It is kind of fascinating to watch how conservative alternatives fair. Every time someplace like Parler or Rumble starts to gain traction, we hear from conservatives how they're all going to leave Twitter or YouTube and make their rivals more popular, how they're going to become true...

You bet? Do you have anything to actually support that bet? Not your feelings on the matter, but actual, hard data? Well, let me fix that for you. Facebook purges left-wing pages and individuals Ben Shapiro doesn't do that? Steven Crowder doesn't do that? Tim Pool? Jesse Lee Peterson...

You know, this isn't even remotely true. There are many - many - prominent conservatives on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. Ben Shapiro, Steve Crowder, even Majorie Taylor Greene's nutty self. These are unashamed, unambiguous, 100% right-wing personalities, and they're quite outspoken on...

Well, assuming it ever becomes the social media site he promised it to be.

Even if I accept that’s what going on, so what? Moderators do stuff like that all the time. I got kicked off a writing forum a few years ago because the moderator didn’t like me giving his stuff bad reviews. That wasn’t against the rules and he was a jerk to do it, but it wasn’t like he didn’t...

I honestly don’t understand why there’s such a push from conservatives to use platforms that they think are run by people who are biased against them. Just use Parler and Rumble. Their platforms pretty much made for you and your political tastes. Why fight so hard to give business to people you...
