Less censorship on social media doesn't mean a rise in quality right wing dissent, it means more ascension of the retard right, Trumpism, Aanon, etc.

Twitter has been extremely destructive force to democracy due to its ascension of mob discourse. It is what has mainstreamed the increasingly insane ideology that represents mainstream liberalism. Right wing follows a similar trajectory but in a different direction. However the decay of the liberal mainstream by becoming a reflection of the social media leftwing mob is more destructive because liberals are the custodians of modern culture. When they go off the rails so does society.

The chaos that this increasingly mob driven stupid democratic culture creates many would consider good for the hopes of "collapse" but the right isn't responding to this with new ideology that will rescue society from the mob and establish a heathy civil society. It responds with its own mob driven chaos(represented most clearly on Jan. 6 2020). Thus without a true dissent force the decay or collapse of current system just leads to a power vacuums that gets taken by military dictatorship which will likely be bought out and controlled by the globalist elite because there is no organized dissent force with leaders to take advantage of the situation.

Maybe I have gone off topic but long story short I don't care about twitter. Whether it is filled with leftists or rightists I think its influence is negative. I have seen how much of the clown world today is a direct result of our real society being integrated with this social media town hall. Any ideal future nation would see the negative effects of integrating the culture with a mob driven mass social media site and make sure to ban it and never allow the re-creation of any site similar.

It would have actually been much better for him to take over youtube as the freedom of the Right on there would have a much more positive influence than the inherently stupid discourse that dominates twitter.

I would like to raise two points that you haven't addressed. First, some guys like Keith, for example, have done really well on Twitter despite what you claim to be the low quality of the platform, so we know that it is possible to succeed there. Second, even if Twitter is not a good platform for influencing mainstream discourse - which I actually think it is - there is still the fact that it allows people to organise and communicate, to form connections. In my experience, Twitter had the most diverse and dynamic right wing subculture, although of course there were plenty of grifters.

Any ideal future nation would see the negative effects of integrating the culture with a mob driven mass social media site and make sure to ban it and never allow the re-creation of any site similar.

Maybe that is true, but that would be quite long term. The conditions are very different today.

Keith on twitter is a perfect example of how twitter inherently encourages a dumbing down of commentary. He would often go multiple days doing nothing but engaging in dumb twitter drama with people like "Mark Brahmin". The rest of the time it would mostly be posting memes and an occasional hot take. Nothing of value compared to his youtube channel.

I am not against the right getting back on twitter, I just don't think it will have much of a positive influence. I will say that I would prefer Trump remained banned because of how much I hate Trump hysteria(both pro and anti) and want him to fade away.

I disagree. There was a lot of good information on Keith's Twitter, not to mention the other advantages of the platform.

Nobody watches his videos I'm sure, they're too long and monotone. For one Keith video I can watch one Star Trek episode instead.
