If they build it, will anyone come? Or does private social media only work because the user base is already scrolling endlessly there?

if they build it, the press will go there and report on what's posted there

This kind of event is precisely what drives things like social media adoption. If Harris and the DNC organized an actual messaging campaign and took advantage of this energy to promote Twitter alternatives, a lot of people would join.

Newsies will go there for the announcements. That's the wedge that keeps growing.

Not all growth strategies are just having the bandwagon.
