    Twitter is not a free platform. It actively suppresses the voices of the left and protects the far right.

    I do sincerely support free speech. I think it looks a lot more like the Fediverse than Twitter.

      Sure, I don’t object to your statement of Twitter not being a free platform, and I did not claim it was. Conversely, other social media have been also known to suppress the right and protect the left. Social media can “lean” so to speak. They are provately operated companies after all. I value free speech nonetheless.

      Additionally, fascists need these safe spaces to convince themselves that their opinions are the majority. They don’t feel emboldened to act otherwise.
