Well, it’s still Facebook owned after all, and given that Facebook still exists, it’s kind of redundant with it. Many of the people who were on Twitter (like myself) were on it because it WASN’T Facebook or Facebook owned, and so we wouldn’t go to that platform anyway.
Plus, it’s not the only competitor out there, although to be fair, there’s way too many competitors right now, and it needs to whittle down to like 3 big ones or so. And these ones should be friendly to apolitical types, moderates, and sane conservatives.
Like it or not, online liberals such as ourselves are the vocal minority. Most people in life (and even on the net, even though the internet trends more liberal) aren’t as politically motivated as some in the Fediverse would assume. We’re in a bubble / echo chamber. Especially on Lemmy / Kbin and Mastodon.
Reddit and Twitter are both heavily liberal, as is here in the fediverse. FB is a mixed bag, but I think you’re assumption that liberals are the vocal minority is incorrect. More liberals use the internet than the dying breed of conservatives.
What reddit are you talking about? Lol Reddit is so liberal that anything remotely resembles conservative opinion on literally anything will get you down voted and called a fascist or Nazi… support the 2nd amendment and you’re a liberal like myself… I’m all of a sudden a child killer and fascist racist pig
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the child killing and fascist racist pig State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The conservative deep state keeps that definition of “free” in the DL.

reddit is not at all liberal, it couldn’t be more of a racist website if it tried
Maybe 10 years ago when I first signed up, certainly not now though.

Have you considered that the full text is:

/j since humor is hard online
People who say Reddit is liberal are telling on themselves… in more ways than one.
