Parler owners:
I'm torn how I feel about this. Twitter may not owe trump a platform to spew his garbage, but shutting him down will only further "prove" the allegations that twitter is actively manipulating media to further a leftist agenda (hint, they're not). Trump will use this as ammunition in waging war, one way or another. This will serve to further divide the American people.

It will be much harder, Twitter gave him a massive audiance, yes that audiance may still spread his message, but that probably won't have the same impact. Maybe he'll go on Parler, but that is an echochamber, so unlikly to pull in new people. Hopefully, he will fade away without any mainstream voice, down into the bowels of the internet.

Long term, I suppose you're right. But I think in the coming days, this will raise tensions between Trump supporters and the rest of the American people.
why now? especially after he made a fair and well-mannered concession speech following his 12 hour ban. Hopefully Twitter is willing to make amends if the Donald apologizes.

Eh, tyrants are always petty. Also, they're getting hit with a DMCA on their gif service and they're just taking it out on random people.

Dunno man, used to feel the same way about stuff like this, but look what happened to Alex Jones. I thought being booted off all the mainstream platforms would just vindicate him in the eyes of his audience and bring more attention, but it absolutely hammered him. Never see his shit anymore, unless he's doing something goofy like slapping drones out of the air with a samurai sword. Deplatforming him worked because, yeah, his hardcore base will follow wherever he goes, but losing the passive audience who wouldn't actively seek out his content but would absorb it if it was put in front of them hurt him hard.
I can see the same happening with Trump.

The media is really laying it on thick.
Talking about how "sacred" the Capitol is. Dude, this is the same place where the politicians gather to decide sending drones to drop bombs on civilians.

Kiwifarms is down!
I was afraid that Biden's great purge of the internet had already begun. Turns out it's just a disk issue and they're working on it.

Disgusting.
That's where congress meets, right? Given their dismal approval rating (a whopping 18% as of writing!), it's only fair that citizens have the right to legally show up and protest non-violently. Politicians are not an aristocratic class, they're supposed to represent the people.

They better not shut down Kiwifarms, though.
I really like going there to make fun of Lucas Werner.

Fuck their feelings, free market is as free market does. I'm sure the "small-government" supporters don't want government to interfere in what private businesses can or can't do, right?

Don't be naive. The so-called 'free market' isn't free.
wow thanks to Twitter for literally waiting for the last month of his presidency to grow a motherfucking spine
yet at the same time, YEET
Funny idea: Trump, bummed with the way the mainstream social media sites treat him, makes a Newgrounds account and start posting frequently in the Politics forum.
i see you

The bright side of all this is that pepper spraying little coward bitch, Baked Alaska, might go to prison for taking part in the Capitol thing.

You raise some good points back at the beginning.
Still, it's bad form to call anything you can't argue against 'a strawman'.
And if you're going to call transparency in virology reports, calling out corrupt local officials in Wuhan who had doctors arrested and even 'disappeared' and a (clearly flawed) emergency quarantine which even Biden agreed with later as 'racism', then that's your problem, not mine.
