  Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?

  source

  • randompasta@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.

  Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a “speech I like” platform.

    Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.

    • Ulrich@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Same same.

    • Akasazh@feddit.nl ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Even more a ‘i want to say hateful stuff and not be held accountable for my own stupidity’ platform.

  You’ll need to make new account every 49 days

  Truss Social?

    Lettuce social.

    sounds like an ad for a hernia strap!

    source
• g0ndii@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Hasn‘t she embarrassed herself about by now?

  source

  • Cyclist@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Haven’t you heard? She isn’t the type to give up.

• llamatron@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad

  source
• MapleEngineer@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Aren’t there enough right wing echo bunkers at this point?

  source
• Ledericas@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Truss social

• FriendBesto@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

  source

  • YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    source

    • FriendBesto@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Havana!

• briever@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  She’s a moron, always has been - but who is the money behind her?

  source

  • TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

• callouscomic@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.

  source
• beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.

• Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Time to start live streaming a lettuce again to as the traditional Liz Truss standard for how long her projects last…

  source
• passwordforgetter@lemmy.nz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America’s 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I’m so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.

• Given2fly@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  True embarrassment to the UK.

  source
• slacktoid@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  So it will shut down in a week as well?

  source
• PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Oh good, yet another twitter clone social bubble.

  I don’t get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just fork mastodon and defederate from all other instances

  source

  • inconel@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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

    source

    • PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      figured as much

      source
  • Sturgist@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

• Wimster@lemmy.wtf ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  There we go again. Another Trump bitch trying to please the orange morron. Maybe she can share a bed with Nigel Farage.

  source
• empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Feel like I’ve seen this one before

  source
• MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  She even talks like a Trump. Is it contagious?

  source

  • Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Something is, since conservatives appear to be the same organization operating globally now.

    But I really think they’re opportunists mostly just dumbly copy catting each other with se exceptions.

    Mind virus.

  Hey, I’ve seen this one before.

  Another badly executed neoliberal neocon shithole predicated on open-source tech and standards yay!

  You mean colossal failure Liz truss who couldn’t outlast a head of lettuce?

  Cheese markets

  source
• pastermil@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Lemme guess, they’re gonna launch a private Mastodon server.

  source

  • ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I hope not.

    source
• just_another_person@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Just like every other supposed “free speech” platform, eh? How’d that all work out?

  source
• superkret@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  A worthy successor to 4chan.
