given the political landscape of the last six months to a year (maybe longer?), both in the U.S. and abroad, is it time for people who aren't ashamed to express right leaning viewpoints to begin retaking their rightful place in the digital public square?
I understand the hesestince and disgust with the censorship and other nefarious tactics of mainstream platforms like facebook, youtube, and hell, even reddit, but the normies don't exactly come to places like minds, dot win, etc unless they're eyes have been forced open like many of us have. I also suspect that these companies are keenly aware of which way the wind is blowing and would very much like to weather the political shitshow that is such a major paradigm shift in politics.
Timing would be key, of course, but do you think we're getting close to such a singularity?
Social Media is a large part of modern life because we've atomized so badly that it's the closest thing to creating a simulacrum of a real social network. To actually build out real social networks would require us to have already won the culture war.
Otherwise, the IRL social networks will be mostly political organizing, which is what the Leftists currently do.
