Normies don't use internet forums. Remember WHY reddit had the redesign? Normies won't use a website if it doesn't have ultra simple UI with flashy colors and emojis everywhere.
Even better (on mobile): append ".compact" after the Reddit URL, just before any "?" character (if it appears – anything after "?" is usually tracking parameters and you can just cut them). Example:
Because “modern UI” is an overbloated, inefficient piece of crap. My favorite to hate is forever scrolling. That shit broke phones so much, I swear it only “works” now because phones have more horse power.
Boomers I've directed to this site don't like the style of it -- reddit is more for the techie people I think. I like the idea of Trump starting his own mainstream platform
They don't like reddit-style forums in general. I really do understand, as it can certainly be confusing if you're old. It's harder to get used to than facebook
Free Republic still has one of the best forum designs, in my opinion. It's simple and easy to read, unlike the Reddit design, which theDonald copied, in which the top post gets most of the replies and goes quickly off the rail on some irrelevant tangent.
The other thing FR does better is that threads are ranked according to actual popularity, rather than being lucky enough to get stickied by a mod.
That said, the mods at FR are biased against sources they don't like. I quit ten years ago, when my Alex Jones links kept getting deleted.
I've been at FR since like 2002, and over time, some of the best FReepers have died, and seem to have been replaced with concern trolls. Before the advent of autists, FR was the place for internet/RL detectives.
A few things have killed FR IMHO, the cantankerous ignorant old fart crowd that is always bitching about 'blog pimping' coupled with the psychopathic moderation of the 'breaking news' forum have made FR less informative than it once was. There was a time when news was on FR practically before it was posted anywhere else. You could get by with it being your only news source and be completely informed. Unfortunately, that isn't true anymore.
The FR software is great, but John refuses to add any features to the site. They took away polls when they didn't like who was winning them and they refuse to put in any kind of like or upvote system. Taking away polls did enormous damage to the site. It used to be, back 10-12 years ago, you could tell when someone was targeting the site with propaganda. Like you'd see a whole bunch of people wanting Mitt Romney in 2008, yet he would consistently only get 5% in all the polls. When you take the polls away, you take away the ability to make the distinction between reality and propaganda. Though now the site has dwindled so much in traffic that I doubt anyone cares to propagandize those of us who still use it...lol
There was a time when news was on FR practically before it was posted anywhere else. You could get by with it being your only news source and be completely informed
You're absolutely right. When something happened, I'd go to FR and there were already several threads going. It was the place for breaking news coverage. I miss that.
FR also is repeatedly targeted by obvious share blue style plants. Every election season you see new people show up and spout their obvious talking points.
I used to be able to check FR twice a day and know what the MSM would be covering 3 days later.
Now I come here or great awakening to get the news. I still check FR also, but get only a fraction of breaking news on it compared to years ago.
I joined FR in 2000 during the Bush vs. Gore fiasco
That's a violation of basic UI rules of thumb. Whoever designed it is retarded. Just like facebook that moves a playing video to the corner if you slightly scroll down. Like wtf? I did not tell the website to do that. If I want that I can click a button. Just like Youtube autoplay.
The world needs multiple platforms where freedom of speech is the norm. Twitter, Facebook, and even Wikipedia started that way, but due to lack of competition, they are rotten to the core.
Maybe we just need something that is Right-wing and has Right-wing mods. Some honorable exceptions aside, it is mainly Right-wing people that complain about the issue, since we are the ones who are censored.
This narrative again? "Its a "money grab, guys. A grift. He doesn't really care about ussssss! He betrayed ussssssss! Leave him for your own good, guys.".
The crowd surged past law enforcement officers and smashed windows and doors to gain entrance to the federal building where they ransacked a number of congressional offices. Five people died as a result of the mayhem, including a Capitol Police officer.
Did they mean to say "The crowd was waved into the Capitol by the police after Antifa agitators were handed weapons from inside the building. Some people died, all but one for unrelated reasons, including a Capitol Police officer who had a stroke days later. The only related death was that of a patriot who was shot by an armed Capitol worker who the authorities refuse to name."
Summary: It was literally a staged clown show inside with a small handful of people while outside with almost a million Patriots from all over the U.S. not shown by any media whatsoever and completely peaceful just asking about our fucking stolen votes.
Twitter dropped Trump from its platform in January just days after a mobcroud of his supporters marched on the Capitol as Congress was certifying the 2020 election for President Biden.
The crowd surged pastwas let in by law enforcement officers andwhile Antifa agitator smashed windows and doors to gain entrance to the federal building where they ransackedentered and put their feet up in a number of congressional offices. Five people died as a result of the mayhempolice brutality, including a Capitol Police officer who had a stroke 24-48 hours later
It totally happened that way. And when someone tells me that the dude waving them in was a myth, I counter with "I saw them on the f***ing video as it happened. Don't tell me what I didn't see."
That’s not the one. There are actual videos of guards inside the building letting people in and telling them where to go. That officer there was actually waving for backup to come.
It's been said that two people died from heart attacks, if true, probably natural causes. They've also tried to say someone fell off a wall and died, but I'm pretty sure that's BS. Then there's Ashli Babbitt and Officer Sicknick.
Brings back memories, a co-worker went around our platform architect (me) and showed a prototype to the execs. Within a week or two the sales team sold it to 3 clients. Then came the meeting at which they learned just how much coding was needed to actually make the prototype work. That co-worker was looking for a new place to bring doom upon within a month.
Good News. And he will even get the wealth he lost while being POTUS back- and then some. There is a YUGE market for a Pro-America Social Media Platform.
I hope the platform maintainers know the reality of it.
Bad actors who are pretending to be pedes will be relentlessly spamming the forums with illegal content, and also playing nice to penetrate the moderator ranks and rot the platform from inside.
Then there are people who get personally offended when a post gets banned, and will spread rumors that it's just a honeypot or already compromised or something
I'm willing to play by just about any rules on Trump's platform - it is what it is - as long as it doesn't become a pretense (or worse, legal precedent) for banning Trump supporters elsewhere; "you aren't being de-platformed everywhere, just ex-platformed from here"
It's pretty simple. Illegal stuff is obviously not allowed but people posting nazi stuff also falls under free speech. Free speech is free speech whether you disagree or not. I would bet $100 that people will get banned from the platform still because it's all run by the con inc people
It's that kind of thinking is what got censorship up to this point. It's up to people to discern what is true or not and not an authority's job. Free speech is free speech. Don't like something? The block button is there. You don't make a free speech platform while also wanting speech you don't like banned.
Guess what, Trumpism isn't for the masses. You are banned and if you dissent, we'll arrest you.
Drawing lines are extremely short-sighted. You have no idea what the political pendulum will be like in the future. If you actually know your political homework, you'll know this. It's the reason why the Founding Fathers wrote all speech is allowed, and not just free for those people who were anti-british. Imagine how different the US-UK relationship would've been in the 20th century if the US had some sort of law prohibiting positive opinions about the british. This of course is just one aspect of it. Point being is, banning someone because they're pro-hitler sets a precedent. "White-supremacists" is a vague word, and banning people because of it is extremely dangerous. If you still don't get it at this point, you never will.
Did you know that not even this site is true free speech? We boot schills all the time just for saying something negative about Trump, and do you know what? It helps the site thrive. If we let the schills in to spam their negativity, the site would die.
Hear me out, let's pretend holocaust deniers are correct and it was either a hoax or exaggerated. What good would that accomplish? Even if they were correct, the deniers should choose their battles. At this point, it has been carved in history as fact and nothing anyone can do will ever change that. Denying the holocaust just pisses most people off; in particular, an entire race of people. It should fall under the same umbrella as racial slurs. People need to focus on making sure the present is not misrepresented in history.
Comparing something that was months ago to something that was 80 years ago shows how stupid you are. The election is exactly what I am referring to when I say we need to focus on making sure the present is not misinterpreted.
The Goblins can fuck off, they believed WAR makes money. "Spread division!!!" They can have their wars with sand people. We believe BUSINESS makes money. TRADE.
Free speech is free speech. Don't like something? The block button is there. You don't make a free speech platform while also wanting speech you don't like banned
agreed. i can't visit places like 4chan and 8chan primarily because there's so much stupid spam. if there wasn't, they would probably be alright websites.
Yup. Screencap this bc it will come true - Trump's platform will not be truly predicated on free speech and people will get banned for "hate speech" under a different name. "Anti-semitism" and "racism" will not be tolerated on the platform, I guarantee it. They may be more lax about it, but it will not be a true free speech platform like gab is.
He isn't going to start from stratch. It takes years to build a viable platform from 0, even if youre a big tech company. Trump has no expirience in tech, let alone a team of engineers.
Gab or Parler are the two logical options here. He will do a take over and rebranding.
It personally rubs me the wrong way how zealous Torba is, especially when at the same time, he apparently allowed large, unplugged SQL injection vulnerabilities.
I think spirituality is important, atheism is damaging, but zealotry and atheism are alike in many ways. What we're seeing from the left right now is atheist zealotry. I think the desirable counter is spirituality (actual love and acceptance), not religious zealotry.
That said, I think it's great that Gab exists and it's terrible how they are trying to crush it.
I'm an athiest. Athiests have destroyed our civilizations.
I will take Torbas christian zealotry over atheism any day of the week. Torbas zealotry builds people and orients communities. Atheism recognizes only the individual and is the weakest mental framework that you can possibly have.
As for me, I am searching for the ancient gods my european ancestors worshipped 10 000 + years ago. I hear whispers in the snow covered tundra ...
Atheism doesn't have to be a weak mental framework or have any of those constraints.
Define your own morality. It can overlap significantly with Christrianity. I did and mine does.
It is a very strong foundation for me, and is sharable as any philisophy is.
The only difference is I recognize I created it, and its not of any divine origin. That is irrelelvent to me. Its correct because I say it is and I can articulate why I believe in it. And I don't recognize anyone else has having morale authority over me. I have no need of validation from a book or a priest.
I am a liberal, or what they are supposed to be. It's just that the liberals are fascist :)
they’re always soo against and bothered by any show of Christianity
I'm just as bothered by militant atheism or Islam. Torba usually signs off with "Jesus is King", which is equivalent to "Allahu Akbar". Would you want to join a free speech site where the owner signs off with "God is imaginary!" or "Allahu Akbar"?
Notice the left has no tolerance for the religious? I beg to differ. We need it in every part of our culture. They absolutely hate it. It is like kriptonite to them.
The left worships false religiosity, not the creator God who provided ONE way to redemption through his only begotten Son named JESUS.
It's the difference between Heaven and Hell.
And wanting you to go to Heaven is considered by them to be HATEFUL.
Oh I disagree. It is a good reason. Anything you can do to your enemy to cause them to use any kind of resources is a good thing. Even if its just draining emotional resources. Just from a strategic standpoint.
Yes because the atheist shit from everyone else is working out so great.
The founder is a GOAT. He has balls to say what needs to be said and isn't afraid to profess his faith which is deeply related whether you like it or not.
At the end of the day, everything going on is anti - Christian. That's literally the goal of Communism, to destroy God.
So how dare him start true to his faith and the constitution.
Agreed. Torba should remain quiet, in the background. They have a chance of growing, but also need to clean up the UI... and clean up vulnerabilities that lead to use info leaks.
I have to disagree. This is a form of censorship, but in reverese. You have no more right to ask Andrew to be quiet than he does to you.
The man created a site that, as far as I can tell, TRULLY supports free speech. If HE GAVE YOU free speech, it is YOUR MORAL OBLIGATION TO FIGHT FOR HIS.
I am an atheist. I will take a million Torbas preaching to me every day if they TRULY protect my right to say what I want whenever I want.
You cannot complain about being banned from Twitter (not that you are, I mean this as a parable) and then complain that someone on a free platform they built for you uses it.
As a business man, Trump is the best person to start a social media, I think. I hope it's a neutral place open to everyone instead of focusing on religion and the right. Just having free speech is enough to me.
I love Trump but his people will invariably fuck this up. They’ll build a shit product, host it on AWS who will take it down at the first sign of wrong think, and they’ll be left with no platform.
I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve been in tech for 12 years and I’ve seen far more pathetic implementations than exceptional ones when it comes to building digital experiences.
They’ll build a shit product, host it on AWS who will take it down at the first sign of wrong think, and they’ll be left with no platform.
The Parler Model. But honestly can't they try and get around all this like Gab? I know Gab has stability issues but they are worknig to be independent.
Five counties. Five counties controlled by Democrats. Five counties under state authority not federal/Trump. Why catastrophize? Why project blame onto one person, Trump, that belongs on the individuals in those counties and states? I'm surprised by how infantalized commenters I encounter. Daddy issues? Time to grow up.
Everybody's already on the database -- especially those (millions) who attended any Trump rally. Remember you had to give yr mobile number for verification to get those 'free tickets'. Was that the plan?
Nothing in life is free .. I just never thought that Trump supporters would be labeled terrorists for supporting Trump and rounded up by the crooked asshole that Trump appointed FBI Director.
Kiddo, you're trying to prevent something that already happened loooooong ago. You urge others to avoid Trumps site cuz "muh box cars" while you are posting here to people who are also here. Lmao.Only super duper normie newbies will fall for your narrative ie take your "advice" seriously.
i still remember when they were reporting on Reddit/Twitter to go out and doxx all the Parlor users. like that was some scary shit... i wasn't involved but still goddamn talk about Big Brother
I totally agree with you, but part of me would want him to keep them all on, and then tell them to do his bidding. Haha. But of course they would try to undermine him, not unlike everyone in his administration.
The entire market is in a bubble because of all the free money shit. Companies with shitty financials post-Covid are getting crazy valuations and way overinflated stock prices. Feels like the dotcom era in 2000.
It doesn’t feel like it that too me. Back then even democrats were pro-free market and pro capitalism, and nearly everyone was bullish.
This has an undercurrent of doom, everyone is acting like a socialist, and nearly everyone is expecting a collapse. If anything feels like dot-coms it is the crypto space, and NFT’s
I don’t see many people starting new companies hoping to cash in on an IPO boom, but there are new cryptos popping up every day, and the NFT craze is insane.
Just like dot-coms there is an element of truth, in the usefulness of the technology of blockchain, and some entities (like The FAANGS were of dot-com) will emerge victorious out of the wreckage.
It probably had a long way to ride up, but it will crash when there is universal buy in.
Everything is. Even though the official data doesn’t show it yet (dollar was actually up last I looked), I think some of the rise is due to inflation (stimulus money flooding in).
I can't help thinking this is the best strategy. Twitter's power is that is already an arm of the establishment with an existing large user base.
If Trump transforms that platform via removing bias in the algorithm and getting rid of censoring, the outreach to normie's would have tremendous value in breaking past the stranglehold the establishment has had on legacy media.
BINGO. I'm seeing lots of silver linings. Everywhere. Thinking of General MacArthur. Is Mar A Lago Trumps Australia? Imo there had to be a four year #GreatAwakening and activation at the local/state level to make best use of Trumps next four year term. #POTUS45/48
Gab won't die. Jared and Ivanka are going to run this into the ground. There won't be any free speech on this site and you won't be able to criticize Israel even tangentially on policy.
This will be a great site for interfacing with President Trump, but, he is compromised by the tribe.
If Trump's intent is to run this new site as a PAC (which is what I think he will do) then it likely has to be a separate identity legally, or he just wants to ensure that he has total control .. Trump would have a lot of egg on his face if he let another platform delete him like he let twatter do.
Trump picked an entire cabinet full of people who “deleted him”. I have zero faith he can find the right people to run this new platform. He will probably have Jared running it! Lol
He should stick to Gab. Someone as based as Torba doesn’t come around often.
Trump has a weakness that would otherwise be his greatest strength: He trusts ONLY his family.
His family is HEAVILY HEAVILY compromised. Trump has no hope at all of ever making the site what it should be. This site will be dedicated to exclusively directing americans in favour of the tribe.
Jared and Ivanka will run this into the ground. They tried to buy Gab, Torba posted about it.
Because Gab is run by a retard who's going to run it right into the ground. It only took off because of the purges on Reddit and Twitter. Before that it was just limping along. In short: its success is not because of Torba, but in spite of him. Same thing happened with 4chan, honestly.
I am an atheist. Torba has turned out to be a VERY STRONG leader. He speaks his mind every day and allows the rest of us to say what we want.
I couldn't ask for more out of a site. I know who runs it, I know his TRUE OPINIONS as opposed to hiding his opinions until he can sell off the site and he talks to everyone every day about what is on his heart.
That is a man I respect. I call him a leader because he is acting like one.
Gab will do quite well indeed.
Just like this site and you guys. Okay, I don't know much about who owns it but they clearly believe in free speech. And all of you do a great job of both tolerating those you don't like and communicating what is on your hearts.
I love all of you, Gab, Odyssey and all of these places. There is room for everyone.
But then all the leftists and globalists will easily turn it into a shitshow? I get not wanting to put personal info but we need some way to keep the degenerates out
Won't be that bad, hasn't happed to Gab. The reason why it's like that on Twitter is because Twitter has algorithms to promote that commie shit. We are the majority.
Staggers the imagination really. That or just git clone gabs source code + tiny bit of competence + tiny bit of money and he's done.
Staggers the imagination just like when President Trump fired all of his loyal supporters, left all of the Obama appointees in place and hired on all the people that hated him. He left Comey as director of FBI for a whole year.
LOL.
I love President Trump, he knows the reality of the world and know what needs to be done to get things right. But he is blind to the Judas that married his daughter.
the firing of his closest supporters is what shocked me the most. They couldn't get rid of Flynn so Pence had to take care of that. I wouldn't git anything from gab. People's information is out there because it allegedly got hacked.
Good call. I forgot that those creeps over at Mozilla said that "We need more than deplatforming." They would absolutely leverage their browser code to silence Trump.
I might be the only one here that doesn’t think this is a good idea. We need less social media, not more. Social media is disastrous for our young people. We have to wean society off the addiction to SnapChat, TikTok, Instagram, etc.
I mean maybe but it’s not like he’ll be able to compete with any of those well established platforms. At the end of the day people go to where the masses are. Risk is that it just becomes an echo chamber
Hopefully he has ditched all his terrible advisors that kept him from having multiple accounts on other platforms like Gab or an official account instead of a secret one on this site. Would have severely limited Twitters power over his free speech.
"I'm super duper smart. Part of Trumps inner, inner circle. Familiar with his thoughts. So believe me, his advisors are terrible." Why do you allow such fantasies to mind poison you? Why be a super spreader? Puzzling.
You've got it wrong. No one is claiming to know this as absolute fact. It's only a theory. However It's public knowledge that he's an extremely open and social guy. Either he choose to isolate himself on twitter or his advisors recommended it. Which answer is more likely? Do you have another theory?
I will believe it when I see it. Great idea to smash the others facebook,google , and the rest but I have seen many things we thought would happen but didn't.
Needs to be run completely independent of everyone, ala Gab, or it will have no chance of staying up. Unless they have thousands of mods crushing any "wrong" speak.
Oh, it absolutely will censor. Ivanka converted to judaism when she married Jared. You know exactly WHO will be banned and WHAT you won't be able to discuss.
There is absolutely NO WAY the site will allow 100% american interests to be discussed if they are in any way with conflict with those of Israel.
The big question becomes if we ban liberalism on this platform to make it a conservative refuge. Do we succumb to totalitarian tactics or do we create an open platform to rival the big ones? Have to make a choice here.
Conservatives wouldn't be conservatives if they weren't kneeling and giving up ground to the communists. Enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't take long before they infect and take over.
Edit: Truth sucks, hm? I don't take pleasure in stating the truth. But it needs to be said.
He should charge $20 or $30 for access.....no wait, hear me out; it isn't Gab cause that's not "his own", and whatever it is, it isn't gonna replace twitter. So he charges a one-off $30, we don't mind cause it goes to his campaign fund (assuming that is the end goal).
But here's the fun bit- those hundreds of thousands of Fascist Left mongloids who's vanity demands they imagine talking directly to, and shitting on, Trump, will not be able to resist. "Oh did you see what I said to Trump the other day, fellow chardonnay socialists? I stuck it right up him, I really did! Tee hee hee!"
So those very same fuckwits- by buying the app/platform whatever- end up filling Trump's coffers and funding whatevet he chooses to d9.
It will be like early reddit where republicans and libertarians ran the show. The entire front page was the donald and memes dunking on libtards. It was amazing.
Google, Apple, and Amazon will already be going up against them from the start, not to mention every media company and almost all of social media. Plus I guarantee DDOS and hacking attempts will start as soon as it launches. Twitter and even Gab had time to build up their defenses over years. This will be facing opposition from the very start. And all of that will be powered by TDS. I would expect to see lots of "Nazis" and other "racists" show up and make conveniently screenshotable posts that can be spread around. They had better be ready for a fight.
I would almost recommend making it an invite only thing for a while(maybe 6-8 months), while still keeping all posts public. So Trump invites the original bunch of people (say 2 or 3 hundred), then they get 5 invites to hand out, then those people get 3 then everyone after that gets 1.
Read @793D post above. I'm liking the idea that it's pay to play and goes right into an election fund. Either the bad guys will have to pay to post their crap, or they'll avoid it, and we get to avoid them. It's win/win
In the nick of time. Things getting dicey out here, Mr. President. Stuck deep in Communist Occupied Territory, quiet lil ole me (IRL) almost got into a screaming match with the grocery store manager on duty for accosting me -twice- for no mask. After I tried to relay actual science, he shot me down with "well, these are the latest CDC guidelines."
The only thing they can deliver at this point, is Telegram-style forum with disabled comments. Why? Because if they allow comments, they will have to censor. Otherwise they will be booted out from planet Earth. If that's the case - let's use Telegram and quit the BS?
The alternative is Gab, but little Jared and the gang of non-techies have taken care of this direction.
We’ve been here for over a year 🤣
Normies don't use internet forums. Remember WHY reddit had the redesign? Normies won't use a website if it doesn't have ultra simple UI with flashy colors and emojis everywhere.
People hate the redesign though
People will go where there is content for them
Fact
If and when i goto that lib ccp shithole to piss them off with facts, i use old.reddit
this is the way.
THIS IS THE WAY.
Same here I use old reddit with subreddit styles disabled.
Much nicer than the new design imo.
Even better (on mobile): append ".compact" after the Reddit URL, just before any "?" character (if it appears – anything after "?" is usually tracking parameters and you can just cut them). Example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/conservative.compact
The fact that old reddit loads in literally a third of the time the new site does is astonishing in itself.
Because “modern UI” is an overbloated, inefficient piece of crap. My favorite to hate is forever scrolling. That shit broke phones so much, I swear it only “works” now because phones have more horse power.
No, oldfags hate the redesign. Newfags love it.
Boomers I've directed to this site don't like the style of it -- reddit is more for the techie people I think. I like the idea of Trump starting his own mainstream platform
What don’t they like specifically? There’s only so many ways to do a forum efficiently.
They don't like reddit-style forums in general. I really do understand, as it can certainly be confusing if you're old. It's harder to get used to than facebook
FB can only do isolated posts well, not forum discussions. Ouch if that’s their hurdle.
Some people still like the classic forum. I kind of wish this place had both
They gotta get their orange fix!
just use old.reddit.com if you hate the new one.
When I used that trash website, i altered my dns to point the main site to old.site
Content is King
I wish that were true. If it were, Free Republic would still be prominent.
Free Republic still has one of the best forum designs, in my opinion. It's simple and easy to read, unlike the Reddit design, which theDonald copied, in which the top post gets most of the replies and goes quickly off the rail on some irrelevant tangent.

Yes, the most famous being Buckhead's seminal post about typefonts in Dan Rather's report on G W Bush's military service.
FR was a force to be reckoned with in the late 90's and early 00's.
It was exciting, I was on those threads at the time. Plus, there really weren't many other places to go at the time.
I've been on FR since 1998.
I still check them first in the morning.
Yes, they are biased against some sources, but remember, they've been sued by several MSM outlets.
So they "play it safe" in many cases.
At least they are their own island. User supported.
Jim Robinson could have allowed advertising, but it more than likely would have been shut down by now.
A few things have killed FR IMHO, the cantankerous ignorant old fart crowd that is always bitching about 'blog pimping' coupled with the psychopathic moderation of the 'breaking news' forum have made FR less informative than it once was. There was a time when news was on FR practically before it was posted anywhere else. You could get by with it being your only news source and be completely informed.

I joined FR in 2000 during the Bush vs. Gore fiasco
Is that freerepublic.com?
Correct
Thank you!
Because they are retarded
I will never get over how annoying it is that clicking on the empty margins on either side of the content will take you back to the main page.
That's a violation of basic UI rules of thumb. Whoever designed it is retarded. Just like facebook that moves a playing video to the corner if you slightly scroll down. Like wtf? I did not tell the website to do that. If I want that I can click a button. Just like Youtube autoplay.
They had a redesign to shovel more ads in your face.
The world needs multiple platforms where freedom of speech is the norm. Twitter, Facebook, and even Wikipedia started that way, but due to lack of competition, they are rotten to the core.
Maybe we just need something that is Right-wing and has Right-wing mods. Some honorable exceptions aside, it is mainly Right-wing people that complain about the issue, since we are the ones who are censored.
minds.com gab.com bitchute.com Brighteon.com dailymotion.com (ish) hell, even parler is back.

no magic solutions , mobilize to save america ! https://theprecinctproject.wordpress.com/
I went to go to my little towns meeting this week and it was standing room only. I hope other places are like that as well.
The one I went to in central FL Has been packed with new members both times I attended.
He's not working with Patriots, nor with Gab.
WTF?
Is this just a money grab? Gab has been fantastic, so has Patriots.
More platforms means more sourced Free Speech. Competition is good in this case. Cast a wider net of Freedom.
This narrative again? "Its a "money grab, guys. A grift. He doesn't really care about ussssss! He betrayed ussssssss! Leave him for your own good, guys.".
gab was hacked twice for the past month
Oh no all of our publicly visible posts will be...visibler?
It's a retarded argument. I hate when these dipshits use that to attack Gab.
He's gonna drop patriots.win mobile
Did they mean to say "The crowd was waved into the Capitol by the police after Antifa agitators were handed weapons from inside the building. Some people died, all but one for unrelated reasons, including a Capitol Police officer who had a stroke days later. The only related death was that of a patriot who was shot by an armed Capitol worker who the authorities refuse to name."
The “five people died” narrative is an instant identifier of someone blowing smoke up your ass.
Constant gas-lighting.
They won't stop until they're forced to.
Thats exactly what they meant.
yo wtf i haven't even followed the whole Capitol event that closely (not american) but i had no idea they were lying like that about the deaths.
can't trust fucking shit on the news anymore...
Absolutely nothing
Summary: It was literally a staged clown show inside with a small handful of people while outside with almost a million Patriots from all over the U.S. not shown by any media whatsoever and completely peaceful just asking about our fucking stolen votes.
people always need an escape goat.... that was the perfect escape goat to clean up right-wing politicians from the web
Fixed it for them.
It totally happened that way. And when someone tells me that the dude waving them in was a myth, I counter with "I saw them on the f***ing video as it happened. Don't tell me what I didn't see."
But they try to tell me I didn't see what I saw.
Please PM me that video or let me know where to find it.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=0Z8DKy8jckk&feature=share
That’s not the one. There are actual videos of guards inside the building letting people in and telling them where to go. That officer there was actually waving for backup to come.
Which 5 people are they referring to? Wtf??
It's been said that two people died from heart attacks, if true, probably natural causes. They've also tried to say someone fell off a wall and died, but I'm pretty sure that's BS. Then there's Ashli Babbitt and Officer Sicknick.
Amen!
I can’t believe that someone said that. I’m somewhere between cringe and impressed at that
Stop using newspeak faggot
And afaggot...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
nope, it just means you're a faggot ironically
You don't know what "ironically" means, do you?
Retard.
There will be no Beta Testing. We're sticking to Alpha
based yet slightly controversial comment
What's slightly controversial about it?
Was a bad programming joke I made because when developing tech, there's alpha, then beta. But I tried to say it like alpha male & beta male. lol
As a person who writes code as well, I liked your joke bro.
the person above me made the joke, but thank you for liking it :)
LMAO
if you guys start explaining jokes it stops being funny. it was funny though.
Not ones like that hahah, cuz that one took me a quick minute.
You've got it wrong. You start with beta, then release it. Then the customers will test it in production.
Sort of like the ‘vaccine’
As someone who has lived this as a customer starting with DOS 1.1, that’s exactly how it works.
A related saying from those early days: “DOS isn’t done until Lotus won’t run.”
LMAOOOO THATS HOW WE DO IT 😂
Glad we’re not the only one 😩
Prototypes make better production tests.
Brings back memories, a co-worker went around our platform architect (me) and showed a prototype to the execs. Within a week or two the sales team sold it to 3 clients. Then came the meeting at which they learned just how much coding was needed to actually make the prototype work. That co-worker was looking for a new place to bring doom upon within a month.
Sounds like modern gaming.
EARLY ALPHA FOR LIFE
Alpha hell is actually a bad thing 😂
Good News. And he will even get the wealth he lost while being POTUS back- and then some. There is a YUGE market for a Pro-America Social Media Platform.
I hope the platform maintainers know the reality of it.
Bad actors who are pretending to be pedes will be relentlessly spamming the forums with illegal content, and also playing nice to penetrate the moderator ranks and rot the platform from inside.
Then there are people who get personally offended when a post gets banned, and will spread rumors that it's just a honeypot or already compromised or something
Yep, all of that and more will happen, but I think it will be successful anyways.
True. This is what the Left always does to nice things.
I'm willing to play by just about any rules on Trump's platform - it is what it is - as long as it doesn't become a pretense (or worse, legal precedent) for banning Trump supporters elsewhere; "you aren't being de-platformed everywhere, just ex-platformed from here"
It's pretty simple. Illegal stuff is obviously not allowed but people posting nazi stuff also falls under free speech. Free speech is free speech whether you disagree or not. I would bet $100 that people will get banned from the platform still because it's all run by the con inc people
It's that kind of thinking is what got censorship up to this point. It's up to people to discern what is true or not and not an authority's job. Free speech is free speech. Don't like something? The block button is there. You don't make a free speech platform while also wanting speech you don't like banned.
It can be for the masses, or it can be a true free speech platform, but it can't be both. Have to decide where to draw the line.
Guess what, Trumpism isn't for the masses. You are banned and if you dissent, we'll arrest you.
Drawing lines are extremely short-sighted. You have no idea what the political pendulum will be like in the future. If you actually know your political homework, you'll know this. It's the reason why the Founding Fathers wrote all speech is allowed, and not just free for those people who were anti-british. Imagine how different the US-UK relationship would've been in the 20th century if the US had some sort of law prohibiting positive opinions about the british. This of course is just one aspect of it. Point being is, banning someone because they're pro-hitler sets a precedent. "White-supremacists" is a vague word, and banning people because of it is extremely dangerous. If you still don't get it at this point, you never will.
Did you know that not even this site is true free speech? We boot schills all the time just for saying something negative about Trump, and do you know what? It helps the site thrive. If we let the schills in to spam their negativity, the site would die.
Does it matter if someone posts that they deny the holocaust? Scrolling past without comment is a viable option.
The only thing that needs to be banned is organizing illegal activity or blatant racial slurs. Same rules as here.
Hear me out, let's pretend holocaust deniers are correct and it was either a hoax or exaggerated. What good would that accomplish? Even if they were correct, the deniers should choose their battles. At this point, it has been carved in history as fact and nothing anyone can do will ever change that. Denying the holocaust just pisses most people off; in particular, an entire race of people. It should fall under the same umbrella as racial slurs. People need to focus on making sure the present is not misrepresented in history.
Free speech is only free if everyone is free to speak. Every one. The majority should never be able the censor anyone. Ever.
Ashkenazi Jews have distinct DNA from other caucasoids you moron
Comparing something that was months ago to something that was 80 years ago shows how stupid you are. The election is exactly what I am referring to when I say we need to focus on making sure the present is not misinterpreted.
"compromised" is the internet default.
The Goblins can fuck off, they believed WAR makes money. "Spread division!!!" They can have their wars with sand people. We believe BUSINESS makes money. TRADE.
Blue Horseshoe loves Big Business.
We won by a lot.
I don't want to see a picture of their fucking cats.
I miss Caturday on the old Fark.
Well, actually what I miss is in-comment images. Links to click just don't have the same impact.
Free speech is free speech. Don't like something? The block button is there. You don't make a free speech platform while also wanting speech you don't like banned
agreed. i can't visit places like 4chan and 8chan primarily because there's so much stupid spam. if there wasn't, they would probably be alright websites.
Boo hooo. Normies need to toughen up. Get out of their bubbles, echo chambers, hug boxes and safe spaces. Normies can learn to use block.
no magic solutions , mobilize to save america ! https://theprecinctproject.wordpress.com/
Should have been on Gab
100%, Gab is the way.
Fuck gab. lil Andy is trash.
Yup. Screencap this bc it will come true - Trump's platform will not be truly predicated on free speech and people will get banned for "hate speech" under a different name. "Anti-semitism" and "racism" will not be tolerated on the platform, I guarantee it. They may be more lax about it, but it will not be a true free speech platform like gab is.
Trump will probably buy Gab.
He isn't going to start from stratch. It takes years to build a viable platform from 0, even if youre a big tech company. Trump has no expirience in tech, let alone a team of engineers.
Gab or Parler are the two logical options here. He will do a take over and rebranding.
I highly doubt gab is for sale.
Source: Dude trust me, I know stuff?
TrumpNet? TrumpBook?
nah, they have their own problems.
Imo we need that religious stuff, that’s a huge part of why America has lost its way. People that don’t like it can just block him
get with the times bro. it's 2021.
it's the future.
only nihilist godless jaded people are allowed to run anything.
prayer and mediation must be kept as hidden taboos and onlyfans gangbangs are now shown on Sundays
you guys are better than late night tv used to be
that's the beauty of clown world. You don't even have to be funny, just comment the truth.
Honk honk
Mebe they'll throw us to the lions at half-time shows.
It personally rubs me the wrong way how zealous Torba is, especially when at the same time, he apparently allowed large, unplugged SQL injection vulnerabilities.
I think spirituality is important, atheism is damaging, but zealotry and atheism are alike in many ways. What we're seeing from the left right now is atheist zealotry. I think the desirable counter is spirituality (actual love and acceptance), not religious zealotry.
That said, I think it's great that Gab exists and it's terrible how they are trying to crush it.
I'm an athiest. Athiests have destroyed our civilizations.
I will take Torbas christian zealotry over atheism any day of the week. Torbas zealotry builds people and orients communities. Atheism recognizes only the individual and is the weakest mental framework that you can possibly have.
As for me, I am searching for the ancient gods my european ancestors worshipped 10 000 + years ago. I hear whispers in the snow covered tundra ...
Atheism doesn't have to be a weak mental framework or have any of those constraints.
Define your own morality. It can overlap significantly with Christrianity. I did and mine does. It is a very strong foundation for me, and is sharable as any philisophy is.
The only difference is I recognize I created it, and its not of any divine origin. That is irrelelvent to me. Its correct because I say it is and I can articulate why I believe in it. And I don't recognize anyone else has having morale authority over me. I have no need of validation from a book or a priest.
Any craft will do on a pond. Oceans, not so much. Reality is much different on the ocean.
I follow a spiritual teacher who has lots of things to say about zealotry of any kind, religious or atheist. :)
The folks beheading people for drawing images of Muhammad are religious zealots, for instance.
If you think Torba acts like a religious zealot then we have much different definitions in mind my friend.
You kinda sound like a liberal with your takes tbh, they’re always soo against and bothered by any show of Christianity.
I am a liberal, or what they are supposed to be. It's just that the liberals are fascist :)
I'm just as bothered by militant atheism or Islam. Torba usually signs off with "Jesus is King", which is equivalent to "Allahu Akbar". Would you want to join a free speech site where the owner signs off with "God is imaginary!" or "Allahu Akbar"?
Right. Do you want Gab to attract Christians only?
Lil Andy is a fraud. Y’all will see.
I don't disbelieve you – when we're being warned someone's a fraud, that often ends up being the case.
Where can I learn more about this Andy and his shenanigans?
Notice the left has no tolerance for the religious? I beg to differ. We need it in every part of our culture. They absolutely hate it. It is like kriptonite to them.
Absolutely
The left worships false religiosity, not the creator God who provided ONE way to redemption through his only begotten Son named JESUS. It's the difference between Heaven and Hell.
And wanting you to go to Heaven is considered by them to be HATEFUL.
Oh I disagree. It is a good reason. Anything you can do to your enemy to cause them to use any kind of resources is a good thing. Even if its just draining emotional resources. Just from a strategic standpoint.
Let me know when the left actively targets Islam like they do Christianity. They defend it, matter of fact.
You don't care, or yeah no?
He's a hypocrite like his fathers the Pharisees.
He'll be crying and and pleading and cringing for God the instant his life is in danger, like everybody else, demanding mercy he never gave others.
Same old story for 5000 years.
Sad every single time.
Never fails, they hate the way things are going but reject the thing that will restore order.
Yes because the atheist shit from everyone else is working out so great.
The founder is a GOAT. He has balls to say what needs to be said and isn't afraid to profess his faith which is deeply related whether you like it or not.
At the end of the day, everything going on is anti - Christian. That's literally the goal of Communism, to destroy God.
So how dare him start true to his faith and the constitution.
religious crap drives people away and yet the website is continuously growing unlike Parler which is dead.
Agreed. Torba should remain quiet, in the background. They have a chance of growing, but also need to clean up the UI... and clean up vulnerabilities that lead to use info leaks.
He's a man with opinions, the difference is he doesn't make his opinions a site-wide rule like Jack does.
I have to disagree. This is a form of censorship, but in reverese. You have no more right to ask Andrew to be quiet than he does to you.
The man created a site that, as far as I can tell, TRULLY supports free speech. If HE GAVE YOU free speech, it is YOUR MORAL OBLIGATION TO FIGHT FOR HIS.
I am an atheist. I will take a million Torbas preaching to me every day if they TRULY protect my right to say what I want whenever I want.
You cannot complain about being banned from Twitter (not that you are, I mean this as a parable) and then complain that someone on a free platform they built for you uses it.
Quit being a hypocrite.
"Should"? Karen.
As a business man, Trump is the best person to start a social media, I think. I hope it's a neutral place open to everyone instead of focusing on religion and the right. Just having free speech is enough to me.
Lord, can you imagine the butt frustration that will go on when leftists have to sign up and pay money to trump to get attention?
2-3 months? welp
Next week BIG
I love Trump but his people will invariably fuck this up. They’ll build a shit product, host it on AWS who will take it down at the first sign of wrong think, and they’ll be left with no platform.
I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve been in tech for 12 years and I’ve seen far more pathetic implementations than exceptional ones when it comes to building digital experiences.
Hah!
Anything Jared and Ivanka are part of will be a disaster. I won't have anything to do with a site run by them.
You Javanka bots are so sad. Low info. Duped. Smug.
The Parler Model. But honestly can't they try and get around all this like Gab? I know Gab has stability issues but they are worknig to be independent.
Five counties. Five counties controlled by Democrats. Five counties under state authority not federal/Trump. Why catastrophize? Why project blame onto one person, Trump, that belongs on the individuals in those counties and states? I'm surprised by how infantalized commenters I encounter. Daddy issues? Time to grow up.
Sadly, Trump has shown a knack for surrounding himself with inept, backstabbing, fucking idiots.
Sadly, you are projecting your issues onto Trump. Heal yourself. Please.
Sadly, you're coming from a place called 'denial'. I'm coming from a place called 'reality'. Fuck yourself. Please.
Seems every social media platform created by the right is absolute dogshit in terms of usability and design.
Don't use your personal info on this new platform. It'll be the most hacked platform EVER.
Probably a good rule of thumb to not post your personal info ANYWHERE anymore.
I don't know, I subscribe to the theory that it's never been a good idea to post personal shit on the internet.
It will also be the database used when the boxcars start running. See the aftermath of Jan 6 for the template.
Youd have to be crazy or stupid to leave a traceable footprint on any site that Trump owns.
Everybody's already on the database -- especially those (millions) who attended any Trump rally. Remember you had to give yr mobile number for verification to get those 'free tickets'. Was that the plan?
Nothing in life is free .. I just never thought that Trump supporters would be labeled terrorists for supporting Trump and rounded up by the crooked asshole that Trump appointed FBI Director.
Kiddo, you're trying to prevent something that already happened loooooong ago. You urge others to avoid Trumps site cuz "muh box cars" while you are posting here to people who are also here. Lmao.Only super duper normie newbies will fall for your narrative ie take your "advice" seriously.
i still remember when they were reporting on Reddit/Twitter to go out and doxx all the Parlor users. like that was some scary shit... i wasn't involved but still goddamn talk about Big Brother
By US state agencies.
I hope he buys twitter. Keep the T icon and make it gold instead of blue.
That would tick off a lot of people anyway. Good entertainment value.
Altho if he waits awhile it will get really cheap. Twitter really needed trump haters and bots for the traffic.
He would have to fire everyone and move it out of Commiefornia. twitter as a brand is damaged goods as well.
I totally agree with you, but part of me would want him to keep them all on, and then tell them to do his bidding. Haha. But of course they would try to undermine him, not unlike everyone in his administration.
Somehow Twitter's stock value rn is way higher than even before they banned Trump.
The markets are inflated and rigged.
Allows criminals to steal money more easily.
The entire market is in a bubble because of all the free money shit. Companies with shitty financials post-Covid are getting crazy valuations and way overinflated stock prices. Feels like the dotcom era in 2000.
It's much much worse I'm sure. EVERY asset class is seriously overvalued, not just tech stocks
It doesn’t feel like it that too me. Back then even democrats were pro-free market and pro capitalism, and nearly everyone was bullish.
This has an undercurrent of doom, everyone is acting like a socialist, and nearly everyone is expecting a collapse. If anything feels like dot-coms it is the crypto space, and NFT’s
I don’t see many people starting new companies hoping to cash in on an IPO boom, but there are new cryptos popping up every day, and the NFT craze is insane.
Just like dot-coms there is an element of truth, in the usefulness of the technology of blockchain, and some entities (like The FAANGS were of dot-com) will emerge victorious out of the wreckage.
It probably had a long way to ride up, but it will crash when there is universal buy in.
They grew into the rest of the globe. Their US user base keeps falling
Everything is. Even though the official data doesn’t show it yet (dollar was actually up last I looked), I think some of the rise is due to inflation (stimulus money flooding in).
I can't help thinking this is the best strategy. Twitter's power is that is already an arm of the establishment with an existing large user base.
If Trump transforms that platform via removing bias in the algorithm and getting rid of censoring, the outreach to normie's would have tremendous value in breaking past the stranglehold the establishment has had on legacy media.
He'd actually ban the child porn as well.
Yup. it's got the name and mindshare already. half the users wouldn't care trump bought it too. they're hooked on it.
No, even better... replace it with a golden smiling Trump. Can you imagine the howling from the left? It would be glorious.
Not enough space for that to be visible. It needs to replace that stupid little blue T icon on every website ever.
so even the people who don't goto twitter see it!
Oh, OK, you mean the favicon. Hmmm. Make it wall with a golden T then. :D
There is a silver lining here. Trump would never have the time to do this kind of thing if he were in office.
BINGO. I'm seeing lots of silver linings. Everywhere. Thinking of General MacArthur. Is Mar A Lago Trumps Australia? Imo there had to be a four year #GreatAwakening and activation at the local/state level to make best use of Trumps next four year term. #POTUS45/48
This might kill Gab. Which sucks, because it blows Parler and Twitter out of the water.
Why can't he just use Gab and piss off all the retards that hate it?
Agree. Gab should be the way.
gab is the way
AGREED
it's too cringe and tacky
"I don't care about what it does. I only care about its name". You made this public?
Someone sit on this fuck until he's dead.
you stupid fuck....... your IQ is 65 at best.
learn to analyze words.
Gab won't die. Jared and Ivanka are going to run this into the ground. There won't be any free speech on this site and you won't be able to criticize Israel even tangentially on policy.
This will be a great site for interfacing with President Trump, but, he is compromised by the tribe.
Exactly. I like trump but he's daughter and her jew husband make it pretty clear that any "free speech" platform he would make wouldn't be so free.
Another Javanka bot. Sad. Low info "edge lords" are so easily duped.
If Trump's intent is to run this new site as a PAC (which is what I think he will do) then it likely has to be a separate identity legally, or he just wants to ensure that he has total control .. Trump would have a lot of egg on his face if he let another platform delete him like he let twatter do.
Trump picked an entire cabinet full of people who “deleted him”. I have zero faith he can find the right people to run this new platform. He will probably have Jared running it! Lol
He should stick to Gab. Someone as based as Torba doesn’t come around often.
Trump has a weakness that would otherwise be his greatest strength: He trusts ONLY his family.
His family is HEAVILY HEAVILY compromised. Trump has no hope at all of ever making the site what it should be. This site will be dedicated to exclusively directing americans in favour of the tribe.
Jared and Ivanka will run this into the ground. They tried to buy Gab, Torba posted about it.
Watch.
Another Javanka bot? You're like pigeons in the city when someone shows up with a sandwich
Dyslexic? Reversal issues Trump wasn't deleted , he's the one who tweet deleted. Sigh.
Because Gab is run by a retard who's going to run it right into the ground. It only took off because of the purges on Reddit and Twitter. Before that it was just limping along. In short: its success is not because of Torba, but in spite of him. Same thing happened with 4chan, honestly.
I am an atheist. Torba has turned out to be a VERY STRONG leader. He speaks his mind every day and allows the rest of us to say what we want.
I couldn't ask for more out of a site. I know who runs it, I know his TRUE OPINIONS as opposed to hiding his opinions until he can sell off the site and he talks to everyone every day about what is on his heart.
That is a man I respect. I call him a leader because he is acting like one.
Gab will do quite well indeed.
Just like this site and you guys. Okay, I don't know much about who owns it but they clearly believe in free speech. And all of you do a great job of both tolerating those you don't like and communicating what is on your hearts.
I love all of you, Gab, Odyssey and all of these places. There is room for everyone.
Gab is the same paradigm as twitter, which was and always has been trash.
Nonsense. It's no better or worse than any other forum. The only thing that matters is free speech.
This site believes in it, Gab believes in it, Odyssey believes it and so forth. It's all good.
I hope he does it right. No phone number verification or anything like that.
But then all the leftists and globalists will easily turn it into a shitshow? I get not wanting to put personal info but we need some way to keep the degenerates out
Won't be that bad, hasn't happed to Gab. The reason why it's like that on Twitter is because Twitter has algorithms to promote that commie shit. We are the majority.
It will be the best social media platform. It will be yuuge!
Trump is a super star! Bigger now than any singer, actor, movies targeted, celebrity, any public figure! They won't be able to stay away!!!
Buy Gab.
Jared Kushner tried. Torba said no. Torba posted about it.
He tried? wow, why? he can just fork mastodon.
Torba posted that on Gab, yep.
Staggers the imagination really. That or just git clone gabs source code + tiny bit of competence + tiny bit of money and he's done.
Staggers the imagination just like when President Trump fired all of his loyal supporters, left all of the Obama appointees in place and hired on all the people that hated him. He left Comey as director of FBI for a whole year.
LOL.
I love President Trump, he knows the reality of the world and know what needs to be done to get things right. But he is blind to the Judas that married his daughter.
the firing of his closest supporters is what shocked me the most. They couldn't get rid of Flynn so Pence had to take care of that. I wouldn't git anything from gab. People's information is out there because it allegedly got hacked.
Me too.
An arrogant appears. Imagines he can read Trumps mind. CNN tier delusion.
When did Trump fire all the people loyal to him? And how was it ascertained that were indeed loyal?
why buy it? gab is a fork of mastodon.
To have Gab. Not just a fork.
It better have the world’s greatest security system because it’s gonna be targeted 24/7.
Please let it be called ‘Trumpet’.
That's waaaaaay better than Trumper.
genius!
or "Basium" which means trumpet and sounds like based.
He's also going to need to build and operate his own
to have any sort of chance of success.
Maybe his own browser.
Good call. I forgot that those creeps over at Mozilla said that "We need more than deplatforming." They would absolutely leverage their browser code to silence Trump.
That's precisely where the story falls apart - all signals are pointing to Parler 2.0.
You can choose take take your doom filter off anytime. Joy killer. Energy vampire.
You have made progress, bravo! I see no "trust the plan" and "4D chess". Being down to earth helps avoid the emotional roller-coaster.
I might be the only one here that doesn’t think this is a good idea. We need less social media, not more. Social media is disastrous for our young people. We have to wean society off the addiction to SnapChat, TikTok, Instagram, etc.
You are 100% correct.
Trump should join Gab, it is as simple as that. Whether he has any further investment with Torba is their own mess to figure out.
Trump can then run a website what serves his news, sells his merch, offers a newsletter and has a comments section and or forums.
I agree to some degree. But this is the world we live in now. As the saying goes "don't hate the player, hate the game".
He should join .win.
I can't imagine he's not already here. Hello Mr. President. You won by a lot and we stand by you! Just give us the word!
Why did I have to scroll down this far to find this.
Him starting his own service is foolish. Gab or Parler.
I need to see white paper on the details of this new service before I get excited about it.
Why would anyone care about your excitement time frame?
Some people are interested in learning something when reading the comments here. I am, and post for the benefit of the likeminded.
Archive link since the NY Post seems to be parroting the approved narrative as detailed in my other comment here.
Yep. NY post is not on our side. Just because they reported the Hunter Biden laptop story everybody seems to think they are redpilled. They are not.
They did an absolutely disgusting hit piece on Ashli Babbit.
It will be called Trumper.
https://nationalfile.com/breaking-trump-to-start-own-social-media-site-trumper-this-summer/
God I hope they don’t end up calling it Trumper.
It's one letter away from Dumper.
LOL.
Trumpet might be better.
ugh please no
Why 2-3 months? Just get on it now. No need to create a new platform and reinvent the wheel. Just use gab or parler.
Might be part of a suite of social media platforms that compete w/ Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Tik Tok, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.
I mean maybe but it’s not like he’ll be able to compete with any of those well established platforms. At the end of the day people go to where the masses are. Risk is that it just becomes an echo chamber
Hopefully he has ditched all his terrible advisors that kept him from having multiple accounts on other platforms like Gab or an official account instead of a secret one on this site. Would have severely limited Twitters power over his free speech.
Jared and Ivanka are not disowned. So no. Trump is owned.
"I'm super duper smart. Part of Trumps inner, inner circle. Familiar with his thoughts. So believe me, his advisors are terrible." Why do you allow such fantasies to mind poison you? Why be a super spreader? Puzzling.
You've got it wrong. No one is claiming to know this as absolute fact. It's only a theory. However It's public knowledge that he's an extremely open and social guy. Either he choose to isolate himself on twitter or his advisors recommended it. Which answer is more likely? Do you have another theory?
Really NY Post? I thought you were better than this. I don't think ANYONE died because of the "mayhem".
My body is ready.
We need a bank please
And a news channel, universities, a secret service.
Thank you mods
I will believe it when I see it. Great idea to smash the others facebook,google , and the rest but I have seen many things we thought would happen but didn't.
Unlike those other attempts, the man brings 10 million users through the door on day one and solid financial backing. This could have serious legs.
Needs to be run completely independent of everyone, ala Gab, or it will have no chance of staying up. Unless they have thousands of mods crushing any "wrong" speak.
If the platform is good, it won't censor patriots.win and gab.com links like fuckbook and twitfuck does it.
Oh, it absolutely will censor. Ivanka converted to judaism when she married Jared. You know exactly WHO will be banned and WHAT you won't be able to discuss.
There is absolutely NO WAY the site will allow 100% american interests to be discussed if they are in any way with conflict with those of Israel.
It's just a fact.
"Its just a fact" because I say so. Another Javanka bot. Lmao. Did your /pol/ preschool class just let out?
I looked at your post history. A lot of it is really quite great insight and advice. Respect.
Your rebuke is accepted.
The big question becomes if we ban liberalism on this platform to make it a conservative refuge. Do we succumb to totalitarian tactics or do we create an open platform to rival the big ones? Have to make a choice here.
Conservatives wouldn't be conservatives if they weren't kneeling and giving up ground to the communists. Enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't take long before they infect and take over.
Edit: Truth sucks, hm? I don't take pleasure in stating the truth. But it needs to be said.
Agreed. Truth gives the best blow jobs ever!
Open to all. Without censorship, leftism looks ridiculous and conservatives, who still know how to debate ideas, win hugely.
We'll need an active mod team to ban Soros Bots, Zuckerbots, Chinabots, Actbluebots, pedophiles, porn
Better have insane defenses against hacking, then.
Pretty much setting up a database of every single conservative worldwide and one hack away from all those names being published for the communists.
I am beyond wary of this.
A social media website, in general, is for non anonymous use.
Use Patriots for anonymous posts.

Enjoy the hack when it arrives. :)
Tell that to my friend who got fired for posting his opinions on Parler
gab info is out too.
Where do I invest
He should charge $20 or $30 for access.....no wait, hear me out; it isn't Gab cause that's not "his own", and whatever it is, it isn't gonna replace twitter. So he charges a one-off $30, we don't mind cause it goes to his campaign fund (assuming that is the end goal).
But here's the fun bit- those hundreds of thousands of Fascist Left mongloids who's vanity demands they imagine talking directly to, and shitting on, Trump, will not be able to resist. "Oh did you see what I said to Trump the other day, fellow chardonnay socialists? I stuck it right up him, I really did! Tee hee hee!"
So those very same fuckwits- by buying the app/platform whatever- end up filling Trump's coffers and funding whatevet he chooses to d9.
Not a bad idea, but opens his fans to doxxing. His payment sevices won't cover for you.
Will he ban leftists and make it perfect?
banning things makes nothing perfect
in fact it weakens them altogether
Conservatives are banned everywhere else. Why not make a spot, like patriots.win where the grown-ups can talk?
idk... sounds good on paper, but not in practice, if you look at how it turned out for the left. probably better off not banning anyone
He'd ban them until the Supreme Court rules that a President is not allowed to own a private business and ban users based on political beliefs.
It will be like early reddit where republicans and libertarians ran the show. The entire front page was the donald and memes dunking on libtards. It was amazing.
No but he will ban anyone who says anything negative about his pet blacks and anyone who calls out the Jews. So it’ll be Twitter. Yay.
/pol/s preschool classes let out early so you dropped by?

just fucking get on Gab like damn
Exactly. lol
R.I.P. Gab
As long as they don't make the basic mistake of using Amazon servers or other adversarial communist platforms.
Should have dropped twitter in the beginning. We can't fight censorship if we play on their fields.
Google, Apple, and Amazon will already be going up against them from the start, not to mention every media company and almost all of social media. Plus I guarantee DDOS and hacking attempts will start as soon as it launches. Twitter and even Gab had time to build up their defenses over years. This will be facing opposition from the very start. And all of that will be powered by TDS. I would expect to see lots of "Nazis" and other "racists" show up and make conveniently screenshotable posts that can be spread around. They had better be ready for a fight.
I would almost recommend making it an invite only thing for a while(maybe 6-8 months), while still keeping all posts public. So Trump invites the original bunch of people (say 2 or 3 hundred), then they get 5 invites to hand out, then those people get 3 then everyone after that gets 1.
Read @793D post above. I'm liking the idea that it's pay to play and goes right into an election fund. Either the bad guys will have to pay to post their crap, or they'll avoid it, and we get to avoid them. It's win/win
He's already got one right here
This is anonymous for the most part
What is thet status of Parler? Can I ask? I thought changing servers was going to change the world?
Anyways, will be here for it.
Gab has done far better. I think it's just about to pass 5 million.

I thought Lindell was making a social media site?
Maybe its one and the same?
I’m so fucking excited to have him back..
In the nick of time. Things getting dicey out here, Mr. President. Stuck deep in Communist Occupied Territory, quiet lil ole me (IRL) almost got into a screaming match with the grocery store manager on duty for accosting me -twice- for no mask. After I tried to relay actual science, he shot me down with "well, these are the latest CDC guidelines."
The only thing they can deliver at this point, is Telegram-style forum with disabled comments. Why? Because if they allow comments, they will have to censor. Otherwise they will be booted out from planet Earth. If that's the case - let's use Telegram and quit the BS?
The alternative is Gab, but little Jared and the gang of non-techies have taken care of this direction.
No comments? Why just have a webpage?
