As title asks. Looking to get people's take on this. As one of the few legitimate free speech sites I'm surprised it isn't more popular.

There is a difference between overt politics and political undercurrent.
For example, posting about most video games on Twitter is likely to have pretty neutral responses unless there is a major controversy around it. Posting about it even on a place like here will have people scrambling to find a way to declare it Woke and lambast it, and you, for playing it.
This is completely possible to happen on the mainstream sites too, but they are big enough that its drowned out by the random noise of a busy area while the "free speech alternatives" will self-select to make those types the majority and give you no room to breathe.
I don't say this as hate towards these sites or people, only that its a major factor in why their reach is limited and more likely to slowly fade rather than grow.
Its simpler than that. They literally don't have to be. Their views are rarely in threat, so they can stick with the biggest sites without fear.
That's the reason all "free speech" alternatives just become right wing hangouts, because those are the types of views that need extra protection to be allowed. Especially extreme right wing views, which is why its usually a den of Jew posting on top of it.
Idk how you guys pull excerpts of a comment out and reply to those specific parts, but for what you said about “it being simpler” than what I said, yeah it’s true, they don’t need to run away from mainstream social media sites, but they did once Elon took over Twitter, and for the reasons I stated, their views were under attack with community notes and uncensored right wing viewpoints, so a lot of them chose to leave in order to protect their programmed viewpoints.
