Yes, and also mentioning a new social media option. I think it is crazy how people are in a silo on many of the popular social media apps but now there is a purpose built app to seclude conservatives even more. It is eye-rolling for sure.
I would like a global market of 'ideas' just as much as the second guy, but let's be real here; echo-chambers collapse - naturally - from their very design.
If you have any place, be it a town square with some fool standing on a wooden box shouting his innanites out into an unsuspecting crowd that has the unfortunate whereto to pass the crazy person standing on a box within earshot of his cracked voice know very well what I'm getting at: no-fucking-body wants to hear this shit unchallenged, compared to an actual debate of any caliber, anywhere.
That is the death knell for ALL echo-chambers, no matter if it's Parler, BitChute, IWannaFuckMyRedNeckSister ... who cares. The very lack of genuine discourse means they'll die under their own weight. I've - personally - seen this phenomena time and time again, I even noticed this while in my little excursion into the right-wing pipeline while I was, mentally, in a very dark place ... but that's a story for another time.
What's Evil about these fucking bullshit echo-chambers is the manufactured "discourse", that I'm now seeing in the battlefields; they put up some fucking strawman and beat the shit out of it with words, imagery & even vids in an uncontrolled frenzy of ... I'd like to say English, but it's so far removed from the English language that it reminds me more of an elevated & proforma circus show, frothing at the mouth psychos, than anything else; the people behind all the main headlines are exactly the same players you'd expect also in the more popular 'social' platforms; Facebook, Twitter & YouTube.
But their transparency is their down-fall, if you know where to look; anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, that even hints at going to some other platform, like those I've already mentioned, than there's a high probability they're like the same fucking crazy person standing, within earshot, of the passing crowd on a wooden box in a town square.

What to do? Make a genuine global market of 'ideas', it's that simple. The best players for this are probably, unfortunately, Google and Microsoft, and not fucking Twitter, YouTube or Facebook's little shell game, fueled by capitalistic incentives. Haven't you noticed the difference between these 3 different platforms and how they operate (if you're familiar with them)? Wanna know why Myspace failed? It's common knowledge, but I'll restate it (I used Myspace myself for years, before Facebook became a thing), they were overwhelmed by the sheer aggressiveness and, sad to say, structure of their competitors for fingers and eyeballs. This article from The Guardian from year 2015 is pretty good at going in-depth, if ya wanna know better. Google+ fucked up in a similar manner, but just more drawn out more, due to the whole failure of, again, genuine discourse.
You wanna know my, not-so-brilliant, idea? Get Microsoft & Google to fling shit at each other. Like a fucking global gladiator arena where 2 titans duke it out, only to meet again, next week. I don't care if they use actual physical combatants in some moronic WWE setting, a football match, whatever. Just that they HAVE MOTHERFUCKING GENUINE DISCOURSE. Ya feel me?

My only contention, after all this fucking stupid post, is a long-winded way of saying: don't copy the methods of these echo-chambered morons, like those ideologues at Parler or BitChute.

Really knocks my socks off.
