Now this latest grift comes with some very specific rules. https://truthsocial.com/terms-of-service/
This will be a hoot to watch.... RE: Trump's new Social media site - Nately120 - 10-21-2021 The FBI has to be loving these emerging and poorly moderated social media sites. RE: Trump's new Social media site - HarleyDog - 10-21-2021 He lives rent free in your head. RE: Trump's new Social media site - Arturo Bandini - 10-21-2021 If anyone falls for this, he just deserves to be crooked.

Given conservatives obsession with Obama after all these years, that's not exactly a rock that should be thrown by anyone on any political spectrum.

One of the two major political parties in this country has completely bent over backwards to accommodate him and his ideology, so he's kind of important. Believe me, I'm of the mindset that whomever is the president was never meant to have this much impact on the country or people, but that just ain't the way it is. He's not just that guy who made a cameo in Home Alone 2, anymore. RE: Trump's new Social media site - GMDino - 10-21-2021 (10-21-2021, 12:00 PM)HarleyDog Wrote: He lives rent free in your head.

Yeah, former POTUS, who still says he won the election (unless he's filing court papers) and who wanted to block the certification of said election, who is under multiple investigations and campaigning for office again announces a new business that he can "run" and say whatever he wants isn't exactly me digging for new dirt on Trump...lol. TBF I've been making fun of his failures longer than he's been a politician so it comes easily enough. RE: Trump's new Social media site - CarolinaBengalFanGuy - 10-22-2021 Alternative social media has been absolute shit. They’re just dumb dead half assed husks of the existing sites. They’re going to have to do something innovative and different if they want it to actually be successful. Even if it were to have some kind of short term success people would eventually realize it’s not as good and stop using it.

It amuses me how these alternative sites trumpet being about free speech and then have a list of things you can't say that go beyond what the other platforms have. I guess free speech is just an empty marketing phrase. The fact that these platforms are so amazingly unsecured and open to hacks and data breaches is just icing on the cake. Are Trump and Lindell just cheap or are there zero tech companies that will build and monitor their site? RE: Trump's new Social media site - GMDino - 10-22-2021 Couple updates already. First one is that they didn't put a lot of work into this (go figure) and used some open source software while claiming it is theirs (go figure). https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dgm5k/truth-social-is-mastodon-trump Quote:Former President Donald Trump’s new social network ’Truth Social’ is seemingly a thinly disguised fork of popular social network codebase Mastodon. Secondly because they didn't put a lot of work into it (go figure) they have been hacked and they shut it down already (go figure). https://fortune.com/2021/10/21/trump-truth-social-media-platform-beta-hackers/ Quote:The announcement of Donald Trump’s social media platform is less than 24 hours old, but the problems are already piling up—including the possible hacking of Trump’s own account.
RE: Trump's new Social media site - BigPapaKain - 10-22-2021 You can't write this shit. RE: Trump's new Social media site - Goalpost - 10-22-2021 A lot of this stuff happens because the current social media platforms have 'issues'. Yesterday it is was announced that Facebook's own oversight committee determined that the algorithms that were flagging right leaning posts for inaccuracies....I'm in favor of this if it is truly false info....were NOT flagging left leaning Hollywood elites, for also dishonest posts. This is Facebook's own committee telling Facebook executives that their algorithm is applied unevenly based on political affiliation and status.

And at the same time if they flagged something correctly or not you get more flagged later. They have flagged jokes/memes for "False information" too. I got a three week "ban on going live and advertising" for a Jeffery Dahmer joke because it encouraged violence. One friend (right wing) gets flagged regularly and complains about it even though she is posting truly fake information as facts. Yesterday she posted on another social that she got a 24 ban for telling a friend she was going to "kidnap" his daughter for a sleepover because her daughter missed her and they couldn't get together due to busy schedules. Zero tolerance is almost always bad. RE: Trump's new Social media site - Goalpost - 10-22-2021 (10-22-2021, 09:26 AM)BigPapaKain Wrote: You can't write this shit. Yea. Ticker symbol DWAC is the company related, to create the SPAC/IPO on it. It was 10 bucks Weds now trading 130. Mania at the moment.

Some people don't want to click links because they are on a work computer or they don't trust them so I copy and paste where I can. The other reason is that it provides the exact information versus just my take on it. The reader can see it all. But if that is a "book" or too much to read I apologize...and feel a little bad.
