Social Media Platforms

We live in a world where the Social Media lifecycle is around 10 years or less before new and more modern platforms rise up.

Yet, Facebook has been around for 17 years and Twitter for 15 years.

It's important to understand that their success in surpassing the 10-year mark is not because they are great platforms.

Rather that, for millions, they have been conditioned into thinking there is no other alternative despite the declining reputations of both Facebook and Twitter.

Namely, the far-left political alignment and heavy censorship of what can and what can't be posted according to wokism and/or alignment to whatever the mainstream Leftist-Globalist-Marxist driven narrative is at any given time.

Many people have faced account suspensions and or some type of ban (Shadow Ban or Direct Ban), had their comments tagged and monitored by those who have no ability to read the contexts of things said in jest, or practice double standards with what they allow one gender to say to another, but draw the line when it's reversed.

Yet, many refuse to even entertain the possibility that other platforms exist?

Such behaviour is not normal. As with all new things people go with the flow and what's current; since Facebook and Twitter, many have gone against the trends and remained stagnant.

This phenomenon has created a divide between people who are awake and wish to maintain connections with friends but are forced to continue to interact through a dying platform because their friends are stuck in the past and refuse to move across to something better or different.

MeWe is the only other platform that has similarities to Facebook and has been around for around 4 years now, yet it's not gained the traction it deserves.

Interestingly, Telegram emerged and succeeded where MeWe has failed, why?

In short, the style of Facebook and Twitter-like platforms has led to the rise in depression and has even been linked to suicides.

People share their thoughts, only to find most of the people they are connected to do not respond unless it's something humour related or fake materialistic driven content; it's time to accept that people have a problem.

There are also situations across Twitter and Facebook where people respond with hate and disrespect, even resorting to character attacks; fake accounts and trolling is commonplace. This is usually because somebody has an oppositional view to the Leftist-Globalist-Marxist narratives being pushed or forced onto people the world over.

With platforms like Telegram, we return to an old chatroom style system merged with modern messaging functionality.

The fact that such a platform exists and the high number of people who have joined only reinforces the fact that there has been a need that had been ignored for over a decade since the decline of chatrooms and ICQ messaging applications.

People still want to connect with a lot of different people and not be restricted to the selection they have on Facebook or Twitter who often become stagnant and stop communicating; sure, you can add new friends but be guaranteed that as a man many requests would just get ignored.

The only place you can make new connections is in the groups or through word of mouth, but that's so much harder across different posts and multi-threads.

With platforms like Telegram, you can join various groups and see conversations as they are formed; it's a choice whether to join in and in most cases, it's easier to make new connections and spur off them into other groups.

There will always be new members and new groups, and most of what you share within reason is not tagged, restricted or prohibited as there is not currently any wokist control mechanisms on Telegram.

It's just a shame that so many are stuck in the past with Facistbook and Twatter as dying platforms that mainly attract Leftist-Globalist-Marxist types.
