Yeah we are presently losing the war by having all right leaning places where only political discussion exists.
I don't give Tim Poole a ton of credit but he was absolutely right; Gab, Truth, they are just political right wing spaces.
That's fine for us here, but we win by engaging them in discourse.
Twitter will continue to appeal to normies. People who don't want to do anything but play video games, watch movies, cook, other hobbies.
By just having an expectation of freedom of speech, and an allowance of open discussion where people can get heated but leave if the discussion ceases to be interesting, the proximity of normies with the politically focused will all have profound effects over time.
Twitter is a useful tool as a veritable digital town square, and that's something that none of its competitors have.
Musk selling his Twitter position is the opposite of saving Twitter.
Not really because I don't believe Twitter will be what it is now if Musk succeeds. All those little pansies on there now will be gone
I don't pretend to understand what it will become, but I also don't want Twitter to be able to turn down this deal and keep functioning... AT ALL
