You don't need evidence to form a belief but you do need it if you want others to believe you.

If Alex moves to another platform wouldn't part of his following move to this platform? Wouldn't that grow others in that new platform.

Isn't deplatforming just replatforming. With every deplatform doesn't it leak more users to the new platform.

If they deplatform them one day it could be you.

> You don't need evidence to form a belief

Please don't put words in my mouth. I said I did not need "perfect evidence." I cited evidence, albeit imperfect. Whether it's strong enough to change someone's beliefs is between them and their epistemology. That's all I have to say on this subject.

Those are my words. You do not need evidence to form a belief.

But you need one to change hearts and minds.
