You don't beat big tech by segregating people into different social media networks.  One for lefties and one for the right.

It's going to take a lot more than that because big tech is working so closely with the government.

Correct, it actually helps them and protects them. Nobody notices that they keep a 50/50 split in people by any means necessary. They can't have a viral movement against the elite types.

So because it's Trump this may not be correct.  His fame and very very large number of broken glass followers could be enough to overcome the massive startup problems of any new social network.  They have enough for a critical mass.  Gab, Parler, etc did not and are also built on old networks that can be shutdown.

Actually you do beat them by disengaging with their institutions. Fighting for a stake in (((institutions))) like big tech is just validating their claim as gatekeepers of public discourse. Once they are merely echo chambers for the far-left they will become impotent.

Best case scenario it becomes popular and somehow can't be shutdown.  Great.

However, it's still only going to be right leaning people on there.  They will finally have a place online to voice their opinions..........to each other.  Which will mean fuckall.  They will continue to be marginalized and ostracized from the mainstream culture which is controlled by the left.

Iphone banned it.  Then when they let it came back it was glitchy.  Google also tried to destroy it putting a label on it saying Trump followers use it who are conspiracy theorists, far right extremists and antiemetic. Call a spade a spade.  The owners and CEO's of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Wiki and  youtube go out of their way to support the Democrat party.

I think these companies know half the people in the country are ready to vote with their dollars for the next 3 years. Timing is everything.

Then again, create a phone platform and take all that business as well. It's genius really. These partisan companies have created a backlash.

Oh the irony!

Trump's social media platform, TRUTH Social, overwhelmed by trolls in first hours
by Christopher Hutton, Breaking News Reporter  | October 21, 2021 11:42 AM

Internet trolls flooded former President Donald Trump's TRUTH Social within hours of the new social media platform's announcement.

Users flocked to the site Wednesday night after Canadian hacker Aubrey Cottle posted a URL connecting a mobile beta that allowed them to register fake accounts, just hours after the initial announcement and before the site was officially open.

Users registered various handles connected to high-profile individuals, including Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, with several of the fake accounts posting troll content and obscene images, according to the Daily Dot .

Mikael Thalen, a writer for the outlet, was briefly able to acquire the handle @donaldtrump, posting screenshots of the service's interfaceaccount settings before the page was taken offline.

Within hours of the leak, TRUTH Social suspended account creation and removed all created users.

"You can no longer use your account, and your profile and other data are no longer accessible. You can still login to request a backup of your data until the data is fully removed, but we will retain some data to prevent you evading the suspension," an error message reportedly told users after the account purge.

Looks like Trump isn't bankrolling his own social media project....not that I expected him to. He uses other people's money without concern over who those other people are. Anyone's money whether it is crooked, corrupt or not, is fair game. Strings? Who cares about strings? For example, Trump to Putin:  :-*

How Donald Trump's Truth Social Is Connected to China
BY JOHN FENG ON 10/22/21 AT 6:52 AM EDT

Former President Donald Trump's new social media project is backed by a venture that appears to have opaque Chinese connections, new findings have shown.

On Thursday, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings posted online revealed seemingly indirect connections to potential business in China. MeidasTouch News found Digital World chief executive Patrick Orlando was also listed as the CEO of China Yunhong Holdings Ltd.

According to Chinese-language financial and investment website MoneyDJ, Yunhong is a "blank check company" created with no specific business intent other than to engage in mergers as well as securities transactions, asset acquisitions and stock purchases.

It remains unclear whether Yunhong will play any part in the day-to-day operations or direction of Truth Social. The Chinese government is notorious for exerting legal and party-ideological influence over locally operating firms.

As popular as Trump is with certain segments of the population, this social media channel will only appeal to right wing older people. The youngsters are too into Insta, Snap, etc. This channel is likely to bore them to tears. But that is not to say that Trump does not still hold huge power and influence. He does.

It can't be worse than the current pro-censorship social media companies

"The new revelation is confirmation for some of the Republicans who uncovered the early clues of the spying operation. "Democrat-paid operatives illegally hacked their political opponents' communications during a presidential campaign and then did it again to a sitting president and the White House staff," said Devin Nunes, who as House Intelligence Committee chairman investigated the spying allegations. "These actions are characteristic of third-world dictatorships, not democracies. It is undoubtedly the biggest political scandal of our lifetime." (Nunes, who just left Congress, is now CEO of the new Trump social media venture.)

For former President Donald Trump, the message was much simpler. On Sunday, he sent out an email statement that read, simply: "THEY SPIED ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"

Yes, they did."
