    So, do you guys think that her social media platform will last longer or less than a piece of lettuce?

      A lettuce probably has more leaves than her platform will have users.

    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

      Truth social is mastodon fork so following the suit is possible. On my masto feed someone posted its link as reference and I was surprised thay my masto client handled it as just like one of the instance

      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.
