Trump - 4 more years of this at least...

[TheDemonLord]

This is just embarrassing. Trump has no fucking idea of the name of his own project. If all the RWNJs head back to Twitter - 'cause Elon, Truth Social is finished.

This is something I agree with, if Elon does follow through and Twitter becomes a public square - where anyone can speak, so long as it's not illegal - then yeah, I suspect Truth Social won't succeed.

Oh, and Trump is currently being fined $10,000 a day until he hands over the company records requested by the Attorney General of New York.

Which he's appealed - but I've gotta ask - do you not get the faintest whiff of political witch hunt?

[sugilite:Me]

I'm finding the acquittals of the people who went to trial even more interesting.

But took no interest in the sheer amount of trumps election team he pardoned?

Do you think Trump is the type of person to use a competitors Brand when he has his own brand?

You mean his social media company he raised a billion dollars to build and has posted precisely once in - that brand?

The horror stories I could tell.... And that includes public facing internet projects... Do you remember the Teachers Novopay scandal?

That was you! Bloody hell mate!

and as other people have chimed in - this is the way of things now. Get it out the door as quick as possible, then have a process for quickly fixing bugs and a fast turn-around time.

There are some merits to this approach, lots of micro-updates means that users are saddled with problems for shorter times and since each update is relatively small, the scope for things going bad is smaller.

But not for a major social media platform that has well established competitors already - as I have no doubt you are aware.

I mean, Fake it till you make it is a viable strategy....

But not in turd socials case it would seem.

You need to pop down to mitre10 mega for another case of gloss cans bud

That presumes that I think the charges were the valid investigations of a neutral observer (suffice to say, I don't)

You mean his social media company he raised a billion dollars to build and has posted precisely once in - that brand?

But that's the question - whether he's posted once or a hundred times - do you think he's the type of egotist to admit someone does it better?

That was you! Bloody hell mate!

Lol - not for me, Private sector all the way.

But not for a major social media platform that has well established competitors already - as I have no doubt you are aware.

So you probably aren't aware - but this isn't the first time something like this has happened - a few years ago, Tumblr decided to ban adult content - there were a lot of Tumblr blogs that were purely for Adult content - some people tried to make alternatives and there's been a couple that have had limited success - but all the problems you list - they have/still have.

Buggy, Feature poor etc.

Maybe - but as I said to Pritch - if Elon follows through - there the underlying reason why you would need a Truth Social (or a Gab or a Gettr or a Parler or a...) is gone.

Long live King Elon, the first of his Name.

"neutral observer" in US politics and law?

But that's the question - whether he's posted once or a hundred times - do you think he's the type of egotist to admit someone does it better?

His denial he clearly lost a free and fair election by a landslide (using trumps own metrics) would suggest not.

Did they have a billion dollars to do it right?

I don't have any skin in the game, twitter could get even more popular, or die tomorrow, I would not care either way.

BTW, I added a post to the "projects" thread in case you thought I was random trolling)

Exactly my point.

Also exactly my point.

I'd suggest not - but I do believe that some of them raised a certain amount of start-up capital.

I don't have any skin in the game, twitter could get even more popular, or die tomorrow, I would not care either way.

So I don't have a Twitter account, nor am I likely to get one - however if this restores a place where both sides get to speak, then this can only be good.

That and seeing all the Lefty loons get their comeuppance and crying whilst being BTFO'D is glorious

Saw that - I didn't think you were trolling - if I did, you'd have seen a snarky reply

Well, unbelievably, we seem to be able to sign off on this latest interaction lol

As mentioned prior, while Trump being reinstated would undoubtedly upset some lefties, if Trump were to start tweeting again, it brings his loony thin skinned ravings back into view for said lefties. It would very likely motivate them to actually get out and vote again. trumps latest loony ravings for you to get that gloss out https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/us-can...uit-at-rallies

It would be interesting to see if Trump could win on 24. For sure Biden is destined to be a lame duck president after the mid terms, and with his approval rating being shit, the dems would be stupid to run Biden again, so that pretty much guarantees they will.
So then we will have seen the the US political system serve up 2 well established and proven douches and turd sandwiches. The American people really do deserve better than either of these two very, very old and poor options. Sucks to be them.

My GMail account has nothing in it but begging emails from Trump Social. Not 'Troth Truth Senchal' or even Truth Social. Nearly one everyday and sometimes more than one.

GMail just pointed out that I don't open any of these and perhaps I'd like to unsubscribe so I clicked that option. I doubt it's that easy but we'll see.

Jesus Krist TDL. You keep coming back for more, yet I have never seen such an uneven lineup as you against sugi. He just nails you.

I'm beginning to wonder if you like the public humiliation.

I'm not sure how you equate me talking about what Software roll-out is actually like and other people confirming that it's sadly true as uneven - but then if you still have me on Ignore as you so oft want to remind everyone, then perhaps you would think it's uneven if you ignore half of what is being said.

I mean the last post is practically myself and Sugilite agreeing: That a place where everyone gets to speak is a good thing. I think it's good because I think there are issues, even contentious ones where both sides of the argument need to be publicly heard, even if they are uncomfortable.

Sugilite thinks it's a good thing because Sunlight is the best disinfectant, if there are unsavory ideas rotting within the current 'Right Wing' then the left seeing them and being motivated to counter them is good.

An idea, I might add, that though I disagree with his framing (I think the Left wing Loons are the ones that are galvanizing right wing support atm), I support the overall notion - that such disagreements need to be had in a public discourse.

Ironically, never been much of a Masochist, it made my eyes water...

So whenever you want to pay up, let me know - I'll send you a cashapp link.

One for Pritch his favourite CIA assett /controlled opposition man Alex Jones and the continuing legal saga....

An interesting snippet they claim Alex has made half a billion dollars profit over last ten years or an average of 50 million a year....
Despite his popularity in the arena he operates in I find it hard to believe there is that much money to be made from DVDs/merch/ad revenue given how mainstream media outlets are struggling even with paid subscription models...
But 50 million is chump change to be controlling the public opinion in atarget sector....

odd you said this earlier.... how many looney tunes are you playing

Alex Jones did do a good session once about how to spot the FBI. If someone joins your protest group, starts talking violent stuff or seriously upping the anti etc then thatÂ’s the FBI.

I mean, if I was to go to the right-wing equivalent of the Guardian (so something more right wing than Breitbart) - I'm sure I could find multiple hit pieces on multiple Democrat Candidates... (something Soros, something WEF, something Epstein, something Communist etc. etc.)

And given the Propensity of the Guardian to exaggerate certain things (and out-right lie about others) I'm not sure how much faith I'd put in some of their accusations.

I'll also note that some of the ones you included are quite interesting:

Nothing wrong with someone who works in the Coal industry, We still need Coal - just ask Jacinda...
And a Brothel owner - I mean, not my cup of tea, but if we are going to get screwed by the Government, may as well get screwed by a professional...
The guy that shot himself - Suicide is a serious issue, not one to make light of.

Then there's the more objectionable picks

Marjorie... I'm still not decided on her TBH - on some things she's dead on the money, on others... less so I think is the nicest way to put it. I've heard her discussing issues with Tim Poole - She's definitely not one to hold back on an issue - and sometimes she does cross the line IMO - but in the same breath, on the issues where she does cross the line, perhaps if the issue was able to be discussed properly, then I might be more harsh with her crossing the line.

Laura Loomer - I'm not familiar with her.

And if the guy did murder his Wife - then Fuck him.
