a site like Parler just doesn't make sense conceptually, because right wing grifters rely on engagement from people making fun of them. a conservative echo chamber kills their boring respective brands. they need twitter

whenever twitter jack does new shit that will alienate his existing power users, and they complain about it, he will never give a fuck about it, because his claws are dug in.

he'll play dumb, like he's on a constant yoga retreat, but he knows the site thrives on conflict. he'll never say that, but he knows it. the goal is always new users, bc free content providers will always be drawn back

i think Elon instinctively gets this, but will have to basically keep their moderation policies in place. i'd be surprised if that site changes much, but the entertainment will be him having to explain to his alt-right fans why their nazi buddies were suspended

@healyn the funny thing is Elon wants everyone to like him, and anyone who has done any moderation realises that's impossible lmao

@chaffers right! he's a moody asshole. the idea that he's a fan of free speech is laughable
