I use Stout, Goofball and the other shite starters as a gauge honestly. They only surf and link Twitter here. When they stop doing so, we'll all know Truth was the consequence.



Look at their thread history....

The recent ones about gofballs are related to a volcanos, coastal restoration, something about NYC, and lots of stuff about traffic in Louisiana. None appear to link to twitter.

For Stout...you might have a point on the topics. Although none appear to link to twitter either.

Oweo gets his news from reddit and yahoo so you'll have to forgive his retarded opinions. It's not really his fault.

Surely it didn't have anything to do with Amazon shutting down their servers while the media declared it a neo-nazi headquarters, right?



You forgot both phone platforms removing the app because reasons, making it impossible to be used on a phone or tablet.

I'm so glad you said this.

I'll let you think about why and how it applies to you and everyone here.

Praise be

I completely understand that feeling. But, Twitter is such a great, quick exchange of information that their censorship is a real problem. No one needs to be on Facebook and there are plenty of alternatives to Youtube now. But, I think Twitter needs real competition. Gab is trying, but they are a long way from being impactful.


Twitter is a very easy idea to code and implement. The problem isn't that there's no Twitter alternative, it's that there's too many and no one can unify around a single platform nor can anyone do a good job at monetizing it or marketing it in the short term.

Mastodon has existed for 5 years, is federated so anyone can create their own node and interact with the larger world community so its not censorable, if deepstate/hackers took down a node new ones would appear like a hydra, etc., has software for all major platforms and app stores, But it's completely free and open source licensed so its not monetizable and therefore isn't marketable, so its only populated by open source enthusiasts and privacy activists.

It would be objectively better if everyone used a platform like that over something like Truth. But in the mean time I welcome Truth if it means another avenue for oppositional speech.

Yeah that was total horse shite that definitely just drew attention to a huge problem with have in the world today.

And the progressive types pretend that this was all normal and justified. Deep down they have no issues with censorship or antitrust issues so long as it benefits them politically.

That's dangerous and it's the opposite of the liberalism they claim to support. And yeah I know that not all Democrats are cool with this. But those are not the Democrats with the microphone, and they certainly aren't represented well in Washington or even Baton Rouge anymore.

The UK held Biden in contempt. He embarrassed us in front of the entire world. He screwed it up the moment he pushed the date back to Sep 11. He gave them time to organize and move during fighting season. He didn’t meet with them or talk to them. He ignored all intelligence that they were moving on the city until the day they arrived. The complete incompetence is hardly measurable. The results disastrous. He left over 80B in military equipment there. I mean, he moved the military out before the citizens for Christ sakes. Don’t forget he droned an entire family to make it look like he was doing something after he got dozens and dozens of marines killed and injured

Of course, you're not upset. You've got the government, the media, and major corporations all in line with you.

So, the obvious solution is to create another platform that is even more transparently political.



It's just a social media platform that isn't intolerant of non-progressive world views. I don't understand why this is such a controversial thing.

If you didn't want something like this to happen, maybe don't ban everyone that may not agree with whatever bullshite our government is trying to peddle to us at the time.

It's what's to be expected when one side has basically declared war on the other and won't relent or compromise.

And I have no interest in being on this new platform. I'm just telling you why it's happening
