Ah yes, the party that wants you uneducated, that's the party that will save us all. How did I not see it before?

I mean, I think Twitter is more fragile than you think.
It doesn't have THAT many participants; statistically, normal people don't really use it. It's not that far from losing the public eye and being a self-indulgent (but not publicly influential) zoo kind of like 4chan is.
When I refer to the internet narrative-scape, I include everything. Facebook, Reddit, turthscoial or whatever the right-wing ones are, all the way back here to Lemmy. These are the places where the people growing up to make tomorrow's decisions have their attitudes and beliefs shaped and reshaped.
I mean, the ones who grow up at least. That seems to be falling out of style.
thank you for seeing me
I think some are less explicitly optimized for political rage-bait though. Facebook is pretty bad, but things like say, Discord or Telegram (popular destinations) are awful in different ways.
Truth Social will always be niche. I know it's very 'year of linux' but I'm convinced Reddit is near its immolation stage. Lemmy and federated social media won't be 'influential' for a long time, they're in for the long run.
