I'm sticking with Gab. It has been working much better this past week and I see huge potential there to make it exactly what I want/need it to be. I am still on facebook mostly because of the groups I belong to. Interestingly enough, groups that have no political affiliation at all have discussed moving to gab due to fb's abritrary bans, fact checks, and fb timeouts. Either 75 percent of the people in these groups are conservatives and I didn't know it, or gab isn't thought of as a white supremacist social media platform the way some referred to parler. Once I get my family over to gab, I can finally get the fuck off facebook. If my groups don't end up moving, I can always start my own!

There is NO SUCH THING AS HATESPEECH. Fuck that marxist totalitarian newspeak. And calls for violence are already illegal.

I agree completely. Any speech contrary to someone's person or beliefs can be potentially construed as "hate speech" which is to say, offensive. Back in the day, if you didn't like what someone was saying, you either refused to listen further or punched them in the face.

I wonder if some of these sites are being used to collect and collate data in order to use it against us. I'm suspicious of every tech company these days. Maybe I'm just cynical or something......

Everything you do is subject to investigation once they can nail you on a simple charge. They just need a legal justification to turn your life upside down and tear through your house taking anything that can be used against you. Things that would never justify prison let alone a warrant that can and will be used to create a narrative of "probability" while they use corrupt judges and prosecutors to hide evidence of your innocence. From Flynn to every death row inmate who was exonerated through DNA evidence.

Like a former Italian PM and mafia guy said: "To think the worst of someone is a sin, but it's often right"

I had to look that one up, glad you posted that. Yes, that is my fear, that MeWe is a trap. Fucking tech assholes. Tech is being fobbed off on us as a shiny toy and it tracks us, helps them create databases on us, damn. We need to get smart, quick, and start digging into all these sites. We need a special forces IT team up in here.

Sorry, I was cryptic because I want people to look it up. More memorable than me just telling.

Note the last name of the MeWe guy. Creating a social media platform is easy from a technical perspective, but having people willing to throw money at it to get off the ground is a whole different issue.

The industry is extremely nepotistic.

I'm glad you did that, tbh. Definitely more impactful. Yeah, I noted the linking sites doing a domain search. MeWe is fucking CHINESE. No fucking way in hell I'm clicking on any MeWe links.

If you're into research... Gulag Archipelago, by Solzhenitsyn. The unabridged version.

Everything we're seeing now, is in there.

Read it in high school, back when they actually taught stuff. Damn, I'm getting old.

Ah excellent. It's stunning how the left is using the exact same playbook. They've just substituted postmodernism for classical Marxism.

It's amazing how many Americans "America will never be a socialist nation!" As a response to the insane shit by the far left, to basically stay in denial.

These are dark times.

There’s a big difference between “anything goes” and simply being able to state the truth that the election was stolen. FB is like being behind the CCP Fire wall.

Exactly. MeWe allows that kind of discussion and I support them for both that, and refusing to turn into Voat. This all-or-nothing thinking is silly.

These people don't understand how reality works.

They reject normalcy.

It's Gab and Locals for me. Anything else like telegram is suspect, but might be useful in the interm.

GabTV is gonna add the ability to broadcast to other gabsters "soon". They have a tele conference system in the works too. Can't remember the name of it rn.

telegram has been purging not politically correct channels recently.

That's why I said it like that. It's still useful because there are good people using it and there are communities on there, but we can't put much faith on it like I think we can with Gab.

I still can’t get onto Gab most of the time, and when I do it asks me to login, won’t accept my password and my reset email never arrives. It’s frustrating but I’ll hang in there, at least Minds is ok for now.

Gab is not perfect, but it's loading for me lately. If it gives me too much trouble I just go back to here.

I had a account and built a large following after dumping fb. Then my account vanished, no email correspondence, no replies, just gone...

anyone who uses the marxist term “hate speech” as an argument is a commie shill

Thanks. Pede. I hadn't seen this yet. I have an account but I don't use it for much.
