Saw this on Gab just now:
To those whining about me not being on Gab enough, I don’t trust ANY platform. No offense to Mr Torba who seems like a great guy. But I won’t have my business unduly dependent on any external app or service ever again. That’s not how the future is going to be for conservatives. We are going to return to email and self-hosted content on our own websites. Social media just isn’t for us, no matter who is running the platform. That’s a business reality and the future of all conservative influencers and media figures, as Drudge correctly predicted years ago.
So maybe blogging—several years out of vogue with the arrival of less substantive, less prose- and idea-dependent media like Twitter and Instagram—will become the in thing again. If Milo is right.
And just to confirm that corporate-hosted media aren't the proper playground for non-lefties:
As some in the alt-media have predicted, all this censorship and repression is merely giving rise to alt-tech like Gab, which the media tyrants can't easily stamp out. If the left thinks Fox News's dominance of its field is worrisome, wait'll you see what happens when the corporate, paleo-tech firms get surrounded by lots of little alt-tech services, all working in tandem with each other, the way the mainstream media do today.
