  “I might be more inclined to believe that were Parler, Gettr, or Truth Social actual free-speech maximalists, removing posts only when legally required to. But they're not”-@CaseyNewton https://www.platformer.news/ ... Per TOS, Truth Social will remove anything “misleading.” GL w…

  So I downloaded Truth Social just to get a look at the terms of service. In a shock to no one, it contains a lot of weirdness. Here are most of the banned things, most of which are constitutionally-protected. Also, a typo in the first one. Lol “censorship free” 🙄 https://twitter.…

  Here @CaseyNewton illustrates how chronological feeds create a worse user experience than algorithmic feeds. 1. You don't discover new content or people to follow. 2. Feeds become dominated by people who post frequently. This is why anti-algorithmic feed legislation is dumb. http…

  call me picky but if you're going to be a not-really-free-speech free speech platform you'd better make your rules *at least* as funny as the site that was going to ban blasphemy https://twitter.com/...

  Right wingers will never hang out on social media exclusively with other right wingers because there's nobody to troll and they don't even like each other https://twitter.com/...

  I wrote about some of the core mistakes Truth Social — and other alternative, “free speech”-oriented networks — keep making. https://twitter.com/...

  truth social isn't a free speech app based on their TOS they're more restrictive than twitter, which is a great way to fail from the start 💀😂 https://twitter.com/...

  wow time to revoke section 230 or something https://twitter.com/...

  Joined Parler for a while to see what it was like. Was all pro-Trump, all the time. The lack of opposition made it dull, and activity seemed low. Truth Social seems like it's the same, but could well be a good money-maker for Trump if his supporters see $ services as a donation h…

  the problem with all the rightwing platforms is that they don't have any libs to own and that's the thing the right craves the most if the platforms were really smart they would use GPT-3 to seed the platforms with liberal bots to keep their users engaged https://twitter.com/...

  You should be reading anything ⁦@CaseyNewton⁩ writes but this on conservative Twitter clones is worth your time. Thinking in particular about his argument that it'll be a conservative echo chamber because liberals will stay away ... (1/2) https://www.platformer.news/ ...

  Trump's new free-speech, no-censorship site bans anything “false,” “indecent,” “misleading,” “profane,” “obscene,” “filthy” or “otherwise objectionable.” Also, no “sexually suggestive” phrases. Or attempts to “trick” or “mislead.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

• @drewharwell Drew Harwell on x

  What's extra weird is that there are a bunch of fake spam Truth Social sites that, for now at least, work better and have more features than the real site. Trump supporters have been friending each other and posting memes there. Maybe they should just stay https://www.washingtonp…

  Hard to overstate what a shitshow Trump's Truth Social is: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... Though the iPhone version doesn't work, they also seem to have forgotten to make an Android version. 40% of Americans use Android. Also they stole their logo from a British company.

  New: Trump used to joke that his son could've made https://healthcare.gov/ for “about $2.” Now he's facing a disastrous website launch of his own. “The basic thing they needed to actually get right to get someone in the door, they couldn't get right” https://www.washingtonpost.co…
