    ... I have said that many times. It looks like someone has done just that:

    'Dozens of Republican lawmakers have joined the social media site Parler as GOP tensions with Twitter and other major tech platforms mount, ...'

      We're in the first half of the first inning of social media. There's gonna be a lot of crap to work through on how we feel about it as a society.

        It would be interesting if Trump were to switch to Parler. Would thousands of lovers/haters follow, and would Twitter notice the loss? That would be great, if it happened. I'd love to hear about Twitter saying oops, as the exodus occured.

          Trump would never leave the party where the cool kids hang.

            What's the difference between Parler and Gab?

                I would love Trump ro move over, that would definitely give it some critical mass. Many many would follow him there for real, and many more would at least sign up to pay attention to him (e.g. press people and other politicos).

                Decent twitter competition would be nice.

                Only non-witches get due process.
