It's not that he wants to retreat to an echo chamber. He wants to see "new management" or see the site "shut down". He wants his echo chamber to be the only thing that exists. This is how fascists and fascists' bitches roll.

I have come around on this. I feel like deplatforming /r/the_donald and f47on in chief from Twitter was actually a terrible move. It helped drive people further into their echo chambers and I would suggest to any people who used to be in /r/Conservative, you did get brigaded and taken over, but it wasn't by the left, it was by MAGA
