I would be interested in seeing data to back up these assertions.

Given how frequently some conservative news sources complain about things like cancel culture and how many conservative social networks have sprung up in the past few years, I'd guess that you're wrong. It seems like some conservatives really do care about social networks, whether those networks are anonymous or not.
