This is an interesting case study in software development. Miller seems to have developed a perfectly functional social media app without a lot of histrionics about finding “the best of the best of the best” software developers that companies talk about.... https://twitter.com/..…

At this point I don't know wether to laugh at this or cry at the lack of consideration for user privacy and safety. https://twitter.com/...

This is why I warn about making accounts on these new far-right sites. Their security sucks. Even if they don't get hacked (they will) you are giving over your personal information to some very shady people. Stay safe out there. https://twitter.com/...
