23 <p>The problem facing the Right is that the Left controls all major social media which they use to destroy free speech. Of course anyone can set up a website and say whatever they want, but no one will find this content. If effect, one is free to speak but one is banned from all media where one may be heard.</p> 23 <p>The problem facing the Right is that the Left controls all major social media which they use to destroy free speech.

25 <p>The Right has tried to address this by creating its own social media sites to compete with the Left. This has several problem. First is the incredibly poor quality of these sites. I don't know how to explain this, but most of these sites are so bad that they are unusable. The least bad of these sites is <a href="https://slug.com/">Slug.com</a> which is barely usable. I wrote <a href="https://slug.com/group/ramzpaul/post/105476/slug-com-review-after-using-slug-com-for-about-a-week-i-will-now-review-it-slug-com-is-like">a review</a> of it and since then have found numerous other problems including that <a href="https://slug.com/group/ramzpaul/post/105791/slug-com-is-using-godaddy-as-their-registrar-are-they-stupid-or-what-godaddy-hates-free-speech-a">they use GoDaddy</a> as their DNS registrar. In spite of all these problems, I use Slug.com and I would recommend it to others since there is no better alternative.</p> 25 <p>The Right has tried to address this by creating its own social media sites to compete with the Left.

27 <p>A second problem is that new social media sites are small and are likely to remain small. This is because social media is a natural monopoly. In each social niche, users will generally want to post where they can reach the biggest audience. This is why there is naturally one monopoly site for each niche, and it is very hard for new sites to compete in that niche. In the forum niche, the monopoly is Reddit.</p> 27 <p>A second problem is that new social media sites are small and are likely to remain small. This is because social media is a natural monopoly.

29 <p>A third problem is that the Left will try to destroy any truly free speech website. They will try to get your DNS registrar to remove you. They will try to get your hosting service to reject you. If you collect money, they will try to get your payment processor to reject you. And they may even try to get the government to ban you.</p> 29 <p>A third problem is that the Left will try to destroy any truly free speech website.
