    Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?

    Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a “speech I like” platform.

        That doesn’t really cover it though. I mean look at all the people Musk has banned that have nothing to do with hate speech.

    Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.

      I’m sure if you follow the paper trail enough it’ll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.

      It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.

    Oh good, yet another shitty twitter clone.

    I don’t get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just roll mastodon and defederate from all other instances

      Wouldn’t charging money for blue checks or adding a subscription leave them open to lawsuits? That’s really the only reason I can think of, wanting to make money.

    There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America’s 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I’m so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.
