yeah, only really technical sophisticated people sufficiently motivated will do it.
And what happens when Gab becomes a marker of being a "neo nazi" and having it on your device is a firing offense?
Gab has way too much reputation of being full of far right people

Minds is better
>installing an apk is technically sophisticated
Most kids with smartphones probably know how to do it already
normal people go where their friends are or where they get what they want.
The same issue holds though. No one wants to be deluged by alt-right nonsense.
And you still are stuck with the big financial firms refusing to fund them and attacking anyone who does.
Minds isn't that alt right
I haven't seen any alt right people there
I have.
And you can actually have good conversation
But you still have the Voat issue eventually. And it's still empty.
I've seen more alt right people on twitter and I don't use twitter
Network effects are a bitch.

Does anyone know if we've actually seen a proper established university collapse?
Not as far as im aware rye
Yes.
idk, but didn't tim just do a vid on evergreen...
I'm watching it.
wait what
I'm wondering what that looks like...
17 colleges out?
Yeah, the whole sector is in deep trouble.
see this whole 'get woke, go broke" tells me they are not controlling the norms
y'know...
It's mostly small colleges no one has heard of though.
I just had a laugh at that, pratel.
try as they might
Ironically, the more right-leaning ones.
I really shouldn't have.
The one affiliated with Bernie Sander's wife wnet bankrupt and closed. That was a minor controversy actually as there were some sketchy loans approved near the end of it all.
Yeah, I'm wondering about the colleges with sprawling campuses.
Ones with dormatories.
That would include the ones that were closed.
The big state schools aren't closing, they have too much grip on state politicians and too much money.
But the small privates in weird corners of the country? Collapsing at an alarming rate.
Harvard thinks there will be half as many Unis in 2030 as there are now.
I have to wonder how bad they can hurt before the politicians call it though...
