Communities don't necessarily die because they're echo chambers. What kills them is an artificial attempt to create an echo chamber that's not representative of the community via censorship. That's why tranny jannies are so deadly to vibrant communities and Faggit is dying a slow death. It's the use of coercion to try to turn a community into something it's not that's deadly.

If I'm remembering correctly this is the same pro-Trump social media platform that's banning "hate speech" and using Silicon Valley AI tech to enforce that ban. That may very well end up killing the site, but it won't be because the organic community is an echo chamber.

Yahoo is a massive echo chamber. I remember when they disabled comments because people pushed back.

The comments used to be so fun to read. There would often be hilarious comments about nonpolitical topics. But they killed that as part of the censorship campaign the tech world engaged in to stop Orange Man from being reelected. These days they choose whether to enable comments on an article by article basis and they usually only allow comments on topics the commies find non threatening. But every so often they'll enable commenting on a hot button topic as a test to see whether their efforts to curate acceptable opinions are working. The success is pretty mixed. Soy suckers are more common than they used to be but it's so artificial. If they keep it open too long the real userbase gets wind of it and floods the comment section with unapproved opinions, some of them shitting on Yahoo for the transparent game they're playing.

Seems like every news site disabled comments. I figured they just got tired of hearing what their readers think of them. Some still have them, but they are paywalled and moderated.

It's really going to be Trump's own private Twitter where he can block people and can't be banned. That's it. Even if it develops a vibrant social media community we're still going to need forums and stuff.

This place is pretty well niche. But I mean look at the fact there are what, dozens of us here compared to the sub Reddit even though it’s private?

I'm not sure they are entirely wrong, but we will see. That said, lefty media is also an echo chamber that is only still standing because they were the incumbent for the most part. For myself, I have no interest in Truth because I don't want what will essentially be a politics only Twitter replacement. I'm not sure I want a Twitter replacement at all. Leaving that behind for the most part has been nothing but a positive for me.

Yeah, which is why Gab.ai did it correctly - independent infrastructure, small scale that slowly grows, etc.

HA! This will die out because it's astroturfed retard fodder. The only people who will be on it are his die-hards, paid shills, 'reporters', and the hate mob come to get their daily fix of evil DJT.

Gab.ai is a retard wasteland, but it knows this and doesn't try to be anything more. That's why Gab.ai will still be here tomorrow and everyone who subbed to Truth.Soldyourinfo will end up on more spam call lists.

It will, just like every other Twitter alternative. The secret to Twitter's success is being able to bully left-wing retards

Dunno, my fav theory is someone copied some feminist bot code and replaced it's man-hating with the other gender.
