if you don’t ban them that just happens on the mainstream platforms. big chunks of j6 were organized on twitter and facebook. qanon mostly spread off the chans, on mainstream platforms. giving extremists access to fence sitters isn’t like throwing water on a fire, it’s like throwing fuel on it

What difference does it make where it happens? At least on mainstream platforms they’re easier to track and they are regularly challenged.

Disagree.

  I cited obvious examples where extremist ideology got supercharged and organized through the wide reach mainstream platforms provide and you’re like ‘uh what difference does it make. disagree.’ you are not a serious person

    The fallacy you’re making is that those movements wouldn’t have been “supercharged” on a different platform. You are an ingenuous person.
