Avoiding the Big Tech censors

 Washington Examiner:

Two major alternative social media platforms focused on free speech and data portability, YouTube rival Rumble and content subscription service Locals, will combine forces Tuesday to provide online users a new way to interact and make money without fear of being canceled.

Popular commentators affiliated with Rumble, including Dan Bongino and Glenn Greenwald, will be joining Locals, adding to other prominent content creators already on the platform, such as former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, cartoonist and creator of the Dilbert comic strip Scott Adams, and media personality Dr. Drew.

Locals has over 1 million active users, while Rumble has over 40 million.

The two platforms will keep their own websites but share their online communities and data operations to allow users to enjoy a host of new features while promising few content restrictions and higher margins for content creators than offered by Big Tech platforms, such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

“Cancel culture is the obvious reason we’re starting this,” said Bongino, who helped broker the deal between the two platforms. “I thank the cancel culture folks because they're incentivizing this and the next generation of creators to bypass the middleman of Big Tech platforms and streaming services.”

The social media giants have a history of choosing the wrong side in the culture wars.  They did nothing to stop the Russian collusion hoax which was a total fraud perpetrated by Democrats while they censored stories of Biden family corruption exposed by Hunter Biden's laptop.   Their poor judgment appears to be based on their leftist political bias.  Their censorship of relevant material is a good reason to find alternative outlets.
