@ajclarke9189 Let them create their own ecosystem. If it's viable, good on them. As long as they're no longer able to hijack Twitter, with tail-wag-the-dog tactics of flagging and canceling ideas they don't like, it's probably a good thing.
I think there are enough honest libertarians to check fringe elements of the MAGA spectrum.
I think the bottom line is that progressive ideas just aren't competitive, unless someone puts a thumb on the scale. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't just as many unhinged so-called lefties on X as ever, but their signal's not being artificially boosted and especially, voices on the so-called right aren't being systematically de-boosted by the 'druthers of the platform and a small fringe element who share the same 'druthers.
So-called "progressive" ideas have a much harder time getting traction and followers, when their ideas can be destroyed with a single tweet.
I think X still has some work to do on its Community Notes, because there are some holes, there. I think a small, motivated group of powerful people can tamp down Community Notes by various maneuvers. It's just a lot harder than it used to be to cancel somebody for speaking truth.
