They're social platforms, not entertainment, and it's to prevent echo chambers
the right's echo chambers (X, Truth Social) seem to have done very well for their abilities to succeed as a movement
Idk X has different problems in that area, it's not really a place for meaningful discussion, and it's often used by bad actors who just want to spread chaos, and with Elon at the helm I can't see X different way of doing things anyway
it's not a place for meaningful discussion and yet, it seems to have helped them move their project along; I'm not necessarily pushing echo chambers as a positive, but it doesn't seem like they've really hurt rightists across the board in advancing their ideas
