I have subscribed to Primary and Secondary for awhile, mostly lurking and posting questions or an opinion from time to time. I have no problem with the forum content or the population or the moderators, they've all been spot on and a boon the the firearm community, thank you collectively for your wisdom and your efforts.
My issue right now is with the FB and Twitter firearm related population. I'm giving you all a collective WTF? I quit FB entirely 3 weeks ago when I saw that Chad Albrecht and SOTAR had been deplatformed over there, mostly based on principle and the fact that the overt censorship of the second amendment community was a step to far for to long. I felt, Chad and all of the rest of these guys at least have other platforms that they can build on even if, initially, they arent as commercially impactful as FB or twitter.
So I abandoned FB, and good riddance I say! But on arriving here and other platforms I see placeholder stubs for some of the groups I followed but almost no content in them. Certainly no content coming from the folks that complained that FB pogroms were cutting them out of their accounts, groups, and right to speak...
It's disappointing that these content creators insist on staying with their abusive partner instead of cutting and running, or minimally at least dual posting to other platforms. I know that you're going to say it's just not easy for these businesses to up and leave from a financial and marketing standpoint. It's also not easy for beaten wives to leave their abusive husbands for the same financial reasons, but they do it because they have to.
I love SOTAR, SOLGW, FCD, Mr. Guns n Gear, Greg, Claude, FPC, and many many more. But you guys need to pay a little more attention to your 'contingency' plan and start making it a reality instead of a contingency. You won't achieve that until you deprioritize FB and Twitter.
Thanks and I eagerly await the same announcements, offers, posts and general care and feeding that I used to enjoy on the other platform. Support the 2nd and 1st!
