I've never understood what's so special about "Twitter". You can claim on Twitter the Moon is made of green cheese and Biden is a reptiloid shape-shifter from outer space – and you'll have 30,000,000 followers. 😐
Why use Twitter when we have something as informative and reliable as SimilarWorlds? 🥳

@helenS Twitter was popular and had a huge following. The then leftist CEO didnt mind violating our freedom of speech (since he was not an American). They protected the leftist media that blogged here and prevented them from being fact checked or called out while simultaneously censoring or banning or shadow banning all conservative input. They also allowed them to misrepresent their follower numbers using bots to drown out any conservative opposition. Those days are over. Now a socialist has to tweet the truth or it will be pointed out to them. The biden admin needs censorship to rule effectively.

@TexChik Thank you – I think I get your point. 🌷

@helenS Twitter is instant notification where as SW is not. Instant global notification to the masses is significant from a monetization perspective.

@justanothername Ah ok I see twitter is for the masses, as opposed to SW which is, of course, aimed at the global elites – people like you and me! 🌷

@helenS SW is a nieche site but not a site for Elites. I’m just a regular person.

@helenS As pathetic as it seems Twitter is also about instant gratification and consumerism. One person with 1 million followers tweets that they are wearing a brand of shoes, suddenly 100,000 people all buy those shoes. That shoe company gets a big bump in sales.
Instagram works on a similar concept.

Companies then pay users to promote their products. There’s your Twitter income.

With regards to moderating, if moderating of user comments helps grow the investment by attracting advertisers then moderating is a good thing. There’s no “woke” about it.

@TexChik You missed the whole point about why Twitter was successful. It’s not about the influence of “leftist media” it’s about advertisers attracted to a MASSIVE user base. You attract advertisers then you attract $$$. $$ attract shareholders. Advertisers don’t want their products to be associated with right wing extremism because it hurts revenue. You lose revenue you lose earnings. Lose earnings and your share price drops.
