What is the point of going to Parler if you are just talking to each other and agreeing ? Value of Twitter is that you are reaching a broader audience

[danijelb]

They are under a (false) impression that they are the majority and when everyone moves to Parler the broader audience will be on their platform. And twitter will become a place where the left is just talking to each other and agreeing. Of course, as we can all see the reality is completely opposite. On any conservative platform you'll find a narrow audience discussing only one thing - politics. And it's boring to discuss only politics, even to them.

What's the point of twitter if your favorite commentators aren't even on there? That's the issue. There will likely be a mass exodus of other conservative commentators to parler.

Do you see the irony in your comment?

Echo, meet chamber.

[dmode]

No, I don’t see the irony. Can you elaborate? Twitter will still have ~some conservatives ~, media, tech people, CEOs, athletes, global politicians etc. Parler will only have conservative politicians and their supporters from the US

[cpursley]

I shouldn't have to explain, but if Twitter is drained of conservative thought then it also becomes a political echo chamber of the left.

I'd rather see folks talking even if they don't agree than not talking at all. When you're talking you're not fighting.

[dmode]

Parler will be a much bigger echo chamber than Twitter. That’s my point

[cpursley]

I shouldn't have to explain, but if Twitter is drained of conservative thought then it also becomes a political echo chamber of the left.

For someone like Trump with a bruised ego, being welcomed by everyone like a religious figure can be very appealing I think.
