The question is if it's a social network for people or for him. I could definitely see someone conning him into making a fake static HTML site with "Tweets" From his phone that make it look like he tweeted.

"It will be opened up and just raring to go by Easter"

It'll be either shut down or the country will fall apart. Looking at how he incited the capitol riots, the potential for millions of his followers to organize their next event is too great.

"I am looking into it"

I can't help but wonder how long it'll be up before a massive data leak occurs...

I do think the rise of a popular staunchly conservative social network is somewhat inevitable. Twitter/FB have irrevocably alienated Trump, so now we'll just have two worlds in different datacenters, instead of two worlds in a single datacenter. Polarization increases.

we have had nazi forums forever.

the problem with conservative social media is they are going to be reminded constantly of how they are minorities, and that will detur the mass from growing and the toxicity will also grow as they refine their most ardent users.

Nazi forums aren't the same as 50-year-old Karen hopping onto Donald's new network though. This could be a significant shift.

OK folks, annoyingly this threads just been pretty much Godwin'd.

Move along, that's nothing to see here.
