Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he will launch his own social media platform, TRUTH Social, according to a press release by Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG).

Trump says the network aims to 'give a voice to all' and 'fight back against big tech'
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-announces-truth-socia…
Get ready for some truth, people
What are your thoughts? Will it be a success?
give a voice to all
😯 Including hate speech, racist comments, Pedo talk, freedom to make stuff up etc?
Unfortunately, free speech does have its pros and cons, but I don't think it even permits everything allowed under the 1st Amendment.
Pedo talk
I think Facebook takes the cake for that one.
The loudest bullies and voices will drown out the sensible ones….
"Including hate speech, racist comments, Pedo talk, freedom to make stuff up etc?"
"give a voice to all" … implies give a voice to all LEGAL EXPRESSION (as is being legislated in Poland) not your warped interpretation.
Big tech is limiting free [LEGAL] expression to mainly their left wing comrades.
Free expression can be loopy at times, BUT free expression should allow anyone to make a fool of themselves!
Would I be allowed to say that vitamin c and yoga will cure any disease, from wound infections to cancer?
"Would I be allowed to say that vitamin c and yoga will cure any disease, from wound infections to cancer?"
Obviously this would be legal.
The correct response is NOT leftie censorship but a sound debunking!
But that would be very frustrating for "highly-intolerant-to-dissent" lefties.
@Ughhh: "I would love to play doctor on the Internet."
FYI: FRAUD IS ILLEGAL!
Nothing to do with free speech.
@Gekov: Not claiming to be a doctor, just playing doctor. Like armchair lawyers.
This stuff might be good for growing back limbs.
@AuSlade: That's the billion dollar answer the mainstream media, big pharma and Gov doesn't want you to know and is trying to censor!!!!!
sigh….
The more interesting part is the company behind it, DWAC, went from ~$10 on Wednesday to closing at $94 at the end of trading on Friday. Quite a few people have made a bit of money in only a few days.
Or you know, r/wsb smelling the next big short squeeze. But sure, Jan.
On facebook you can say what you want about Mark Zuckerberg as long as it's factual. On trooth social you won't be able to say bad things about trump even if they are true
Less freely, just free from dissent.
YES can not wait !
Is this the same site where Trump had his own account hacked less than 24 hours after the site opened? Lol.
any publicity is good publicity? 😀
lol.
That's what keep on happening if he keeps using "yummyIvanka" as the password to everything.
Ha ha! So true!
Apparently a lot of references to excrement and pigs' t3sticles.
Like it or not i reckon he deserves some credit for being so stubborn.
I think that was how he chased the porn star.
Get ready for some truth, people
From Trump?
Why would he start now?
He needs followers/subscribers to sustain his ego. He would feel like a nobody if he can’t maintain that.
He doesn't need the truth for that. In fact they seem to lap up the lies. So again, why would he start (with the truth) now?
Maybe a Modern day vampire (like an influencer?), needs some sustenance (dopamine) to stay addicted alive?
He doesn't give a … about the truth. This is his way out having a dummy spit @"big tech" who deplatformed him for being utterly full of excreta.
He's cloaking it in the "free speech" drivel to further gaslight his base and the Republican party generally.
He's an amoral narcissist manchild. The only reason he ever does anything is because it feeds his ego.
@kale chips suck: "He doesn't give a … about the truth."
HMMM .. .like 99% of leftie radicals ….
Here's a choice gem …
ROTFLMAO! CLIMATE PROPAGANDA ON OVERDRIVE …
Climate experts (mathematical geniuses obviously!) say that every place on earth is warming twice as fast as everyplace else …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUV8U3yBJ6U
https://realclimatescience.com/2021/10/twice-as-fast/
I wonder why they lap up the lies?
Do you think other politicians behaviour have primed them to do so?
Or everyone for some reason just started lapping up his lies and no one else's?
This is 10/10 cringe like something a boomer would make
The only people that will use it are people that want to say horrible far right nonsense that isn't allowed on mainstream platforms. So it will just be a cesspool of 4chan type content. It will just be an echo chamber for those far right extremists and no normal people will ever see what they have to say, they will just be convincing people that believe their nonsense already. What is even the point (although it does provide a little closed off room for those idiots to think they are convincing others of their ideology while actually not bothering the rest of us, so I guess it is useful that way).
Not giving Facebook and Twitter all the power to decide what can be discussed on social media and who can discuss those things is a good thing imo.
although it does provide a little closed off room
Others shouldn't have a problem with it then.
I didn't say I had a problem with it. Just saying it is pointless for the people that are creating it, and good for everyone else that they're happy to take themselves away from normal society and leave us alone
It'll fizzle out pretty quickly without the opportunity for discourse offered by mutually triggered left/right loonies.
You didn't have to follow him on any platform.
Just saying it is pointless for the people that are creating it
Jack and Mark have benefited financially from their platforms. If Trump just makes a small fraction of what they made, then thats a good reason.
@ozhunter: If Trump wants money from his supporters he can continue raising money for legal fees and pocketing the money instead. Don't need to waste time doing this.
@Quantumcat: Lol, don't think they're just giving it to him. They're making an investment for themselves too and I doubt it is just from his supporters.
Don't need to waste time doing this.
But this way will possibly create a platform that is more welcoming of right-leaning voices.
@ozhunter: Again, they'll just be shouting at themselves in the dark, they have achieved nothing making such a platform.
@Quantumcat: If they're happy with that then good, but links from there can also be posted elsewhere. I'd assume this would just make it easier for right-leaning people to share things and engage with their followers with less chance of it being removed.
An echo chamber, like the vast majority of social media. Different ones are different echo chambers for different groups.
little closed off room for those idiots to think they are convincing others of their ideology while actually not bothering…
Initially convenient… but what happens when the inbred delta variant escapes into the general population.
Back in the day 4chan cracked down hard on child porn and pedos and a bunch of whining morons claimed that it was the end of 4chan and that by putting in moderation it killed what 4chan was all about, so 8chan was formed. Exactly the same bullshit that Trump's social media thing is spouting, it was to be a bastion of free speech on the internet.
Which immediately filled up with child porn.
I expect this to go the same way. Happens every time, at best this will just be a right wing echo chamber, at worst it'll be poorly moderated and a feeding ground for right wing extremists and whatever else they can't get away with on mainstream social media sites. I couldn't give two shits about the former, these little snowflakes can whine about how the world treats white men badly to their heart's content, but the latter is what really worries me.
Mostly I expect it to be dead in 6 months. It has tonnes of financial backing and they'll be expecting massive returns, market cap is already $1.5B. They have about $300m in cash and it won't take them long to burn through that. You can certainly bet on Trump not spending a cent of his own money on it to keep it afloat, this is just his buildup to 2024.
I'm afraid some mainstream media will make articles about what is being said just to get clicks/views
" horrible far right nonsense that isn't allowed on mainstream platforms."
such as exposing the global warming hoax …????
Australia’s worst heatwave was probably January 1896 when the nation was “like a furnace”.
All these measurements are wrong too?
Extreme heat in 1896: Panic stricken people fled the outback on special trains as hundreds die.
It is as if history is being erased. For all that we hear about recent record-breaking climate extremes, records that are equally extreme, and sometimes even more so, are ignored.
In January 1896 a savage blast “like a furnace” stretched across Australia from east to west and lasted for weeks. The death toll reached 437 people in the eastern states. Newspaper reports showed that in Bourke the heat approached 120°F (48.9°C) on three days. The maximum at or above 102ºF (38.9°C) for 24 days straight.
By Tuesday Jan 14, people were reported falling dead in the streets. Unable to sleep, people in Brewarrina walked the streets at night for hours, the thermometer recording 109ºF at midnight. Overnight, the temperature did not fall below 103°F.
On Jan 18 in Wilcannia, five deaths were recorded in one day, the hospitals were overcrowded and reports said that “more deaths are hourly expected”. By January 24, in Bourke, many businesses had shut down (almost everything bar the hotels).
Panic stricken Australians were fleeing to the hills in CLIMATE REFUGEE trains.
It got hotter and hotter and the crowded trains ran on more days of the week…
So much for global warming …
https://joannenova.com.au/2019/01/forgotten-history-50-degre…
FORGOTTEN HISTORY! 50ºC everywhere, right across Australia in the 1800’s
Don’t believe your lying eyes — Australian newspaper archives are full of temperatures recorded higher than 121ºF in the shade which is 50ºC. All of these temperatures in the map below are found in historic newspaper archives. Measurements done after 1910 are even done with official Stevenson screens, yet the BoM “throws them away”. It’s true that ones done in the 1800s are often recorded on non-standard equipment, or are just literally “in the shade” under cover. So, some of these, perhaps many, are one or two degrees too high. But even if we take two degrees off, how scary is global warming when Australia knew many days of 48ºC and 49ºC and some at 50ºC 120 years ago? The Bureau of Meteorolgy — supposedly so concerned about the State of Our Climate — show little interest in talking about our history or in analysing it, or even mentioning it.
And modern temperatures are recorded on electronic equipment, sometimes in areas affected by urban heat islands (concrete and cars).
In 1939 outer Sydney reached 122ºF or over 50ºC — recorded at Windsor Observatory — a place that had had a Stevenson screen for around 40 years at that stage. Without fanfare, the Ballarat Star in January 1898 notes that there was a “genuine heat wave” in Blanchetown SA in November the year before. Temperatures of 120ºF and 121ºF are recorded on four days that month.

More than 99.9% of studies agree humans caused climate change
https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/931811
"More than 99.9% of studies agree humans caused climate change"
So humans caused the the Little Ice Age & the Mediæval Warm Period??
BTW here's why GLOBAL COOLING scares me much more than benign global warming …
THE LITTLE ICE AGE - EXTREME WEATHER ON STERIODS!
Brian Fagan, in his book “The Little Ice Age”, states that, ”throughout Europe, the years 1560-1600 were cooler and stormier, with late wine harvests and considerably stronger winds than those of the 20th Century. Storm activity increased by 85% in the second half of the 16th Century and the incidence of severe storms rose by 400%.”.
Climatologist HH Lamb comes to similar conclusions, “there was a greater intensity, and a greater frequency, of intense storm development during the Little Ice Age”, in his book “Historic Storms of the North Sea, British Isles and Northwest Europe”.
Edward Bryant, in the book, “Natural Hazards”, gives us a rundown of some of the biggest storms:-
Four storms along the Dutch and German coasts in the 13thC killed at least 100,000 each. The worst is estimated to have killed 300,000.
North Sea storms in 1099, 1421 and 1446 also killed 100,000 each in England and the Netherlands.
By far the worst storm was the All-Saints Day flood of 1570, when 400,000 people were killed throughout Western Europe.
The Great Storm of 1703 sank virtually all ships in the English Channel, with the loss of 8000 to 10000 lives.
Other storms with similar death tolls occurred in 1634, 1671, 1682, 1686, 1694 and 1717.
Much of the coastline of northern Europe owes its origin to this period of storms. For instance, storms reduced the size of the island of Heligoland from 60km to 1km.
The Great Drowning Disaster of 1362 eroded 15km landward of the Danish coast, destroying over 60 parishes.
The Lucia storm of 1287 carved out the Zuider Zee.
During these cold years of the Maunder Minimum the gale index – the proportion of days with a gale – was markedly higher, with the warming of the 1730s marked by a reduction in gale activity
(Wheeler et al., 2010).
Seasonal information on storm frequency is provided by historical naval documents. In an analysis of Royal Navy ships’ log books from the English Channel and southwestern approaches covering the period between 1685 and 1750CE, Wheeler et al. (2010) note a markedly enhanced gale frequency during one of coldest episodes of the LIA in the late seventeenth century (1685–1700 CE) towards the end of the Maunder Minimum.
Lamb believes the wind strengths of these events are probably unparalleled in the 20thC. (He wrote this in 1991).

Don't lefie warmunists trust what HH Lamb said about the the Little Ice Age?
Here's part of what he said …
Climatologist HH Lamb comes to similar conclusions, “there was a greater intensity, and a greater frequency, of intense storm development during the Little Ice Age”, in his book “Historic Storms of the North Sea, British Isles and Northwest Europe”
So for lefties, apparently it's not whether a statement is true or not but whether it agrees with their globalist agenda.
@Gekov: Reality is you started right off the bat with a logic fallacy. It's comical to watch. If you need to lie to make your point then not even you believe it.
@MikeKulls: "you started right off the bat with a logic fallacy."
HUH?
Where?
Please elucidate …. [crickets] ….
@MikeKulls: "You'll fit right in at truth social"
For quoting historical, BUT INCONVENIENT facts?
Sorry for not checking with the LEFTIE Ministry of Truth first.
@Gekov: "So humans caused the the Little Ice Age & the Mediæval Warm Period??"
Are you 12 years old? This sort of logic is beyond laughable. Grow up and get a clue
@Gekov: Regarding the Little Ice Age (LIA) & the Mediæval Warm Period (MWP), they differ significantly from the current climate change issue.
This is because what happened during the LIA and MWP is a reginal specific heating and cooling. whereas currently there is a global increase in average temperature. When you look at the global average temperature during the MWP and LIA they were actually about the same as each other and less than the current average. Also if the solar radiation increased like it did during MWP it could compound with the current climate change issue causing some cataclysmic issues.
This distinction between regional climate and global climate is very important as with regional climate anomalies ecosystems are able to shift to areas where they can continue to live in abundance until the issue is resolved, whereas with the current global climate change these same ecosystems either have to adapt or die, we are currently seeing this with sea kelp.
The following article discusses this issue rather well and i found it to be an interesting read.
https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/224832339.pdf
I also have a question for you just to understand your mindset on this issue as I don't get the opportunity to discuss these matters with people that believe current climate change is not due to the effects of humans.
I am assuming you find the information denying humans impact on climate change to be the more compelling which formed the basis for your opinion. So you would be fairly knowledgeable on this side of the argument
Based on what you have read and your own opinion, why shouldn't we push for renewable energy regardless of our impact on climate and instead continue using fossil fuels which are a finite resource?
@Bjingo: "This is because what happened during the LIA and MWP is a reginal specific heating and cooling."
This must be a new phenomenon, never heard of "regional" climate cooling or warming.
How do you know this?
Any other examples?
Oh by the way …

The Medieval Warm Period And Little Ice Age In San Francisco Bay
Reference
McGann, M. 2008. High-resolution foraminiferal, isotopic, and trace element records from Holocene estuarine deposits of San Francisco Bay, California. Journal of Coastal Research 24: 1092-1109.
In a study that sheds additional light on this subject, McGann (2008) analyzed a sediment core retrieved from the western portion of south bay near San Francisco International Airport (37°37.83'N, 122°21.99'W) for the presence of various foraminifers, as well as oxygen and carbon stable isotopes and numerous trace elements found in the tests of Elphidium excavatum.
What was learned
The U.S. Geological Survey researcher reports that "benthic foraminiferal abundances, stable carbon and oxygen isotopes, and Mg/Ca ratios suggest that the climate of south bay has oscillated numerous times between warm and dry, and cool and wet conditions over the past 3870 years," and that "both the Medieval Warm Period [MWP] and the Little Ice Age [LIA] are evident."
@Bjingo: FLASHBACK 1981: Hansen's paper found evidence for the the Mediæval Warm Period in Britain, Greenland and California.
Nature journal published it.
In the paper, titled "Climate Sensitivity to Increasing Greenhouse Gases", Hansen refers to a chart of MWP, LIA historical temperatures as based on “(b) is based on temperatures in central England, the tree limit in the White Mountains of California, and oxygen isotope measurements in the Greenland ice”
https://web.archive.org/web/20070404001809/http://www.epa.go…
@Bjingo: " what happened during the LIA and MWP is a reginal specific heating and cooling."
This "regional" cooling or warming climate must be a new phenomenon.
Do you have any other examples?
Can you point to a "regional" cooling or warming climate today? …. didn't think so …
@Gekov: Regional climate is the weather conditions over a period of time in a particular region. I do not see how that's some impossible to understand concept. The Pages-2k consortium which is currently leading the effort of reconstructing the climate over the past 2000 years said;
"Our regional temperature reconstructions also show little evidence for globally synchronized multi-decadal shifts that would mark well-defined worldwide MWP and LIA intervals. Instead, the specific timing of peak warm and cold intervals varies regionally, with multi-decadal variability resulting in regionally specific temperature departures from an underlying global cooling trend."
https://www.blogs.uni-mainz.de/fb09climatology/files/2012/03…
In the paper, titled "Climate Sensitivity to Increasing Greenhouse Gases", Hansen states
"We conclude that there is strong evidence that a doubling of atmospheric C02 will lead to a global warming of at least 1.5C. Almost all projections of atmospheric composition indicate that an effective doubling Of C02, including contributions of trace gases, will occur sometime in the next century. Furthermore, for any climate sensitivity in the range 3±1.5C, the global mean warming should exceed natural climate variability during the next one to two decades. We are left in the very unsatisfactory position of having clear evidence that important climate effects are imminent but not having the knowledge or tools to specify these effects accurately."
@Bjingo: " little evidence for globally synchronized multi-decadal shifts that would mark well-defined worldwide MWP and LIA intervals"
ROTFLMAO
Except for the authoritative studies I've mentioned above.
Here's a repeat of one which you probably ignored …

What it means
The new results and their concurrence with results obtained by many other researchers — both nearby and across the country on the east coast of the United States — continue to strengthen our contention that (1) the warming of the past century or so has been nothing more than the natural and only-to-be-expected recovery of the earth from the extremely cold conditions of the LIA, which phenomenon has yet to return the planet to the level of sustained warmth characteristic of the MWP, and that (2) this transition has had nothing to do with the increase in the air's CO2 concentration that has occurred over the same time period.
http://www.co2science.org/articles/V12/N1/C1.php
Regional??? Yeah right …
@Bjingo: "Regional climate is the weather conditions over a period of time in a particular region"
Weather conditions for hundreds of years as the Mediæval Warm Period an the Little Ice Age did?
So what other examples, preferably current, do you have of a regional climate going against the global trend for hundreds of years? …. [crickets] …
FYI: There is ovewhelming evidence from objective scientists that the MWP & LIA were global.

Consensus is POLITICS not science and is irrelevant to science.
That 99.9% is highly suspicious and porbably mathes the fake 97%.
The new Climate "Consensus" is just a junk keyword survey.
Climate change is a branch of science that’s immature, complex, and has error bars a hundred miles wide. If 99% of scientists say the same thing, it’s a cult, not a science. The climate is not man-made but the irrelevant consensus surely is.
By studying words in industry publications, Mark Lynas thinks he’s discovered a scientific truth. Instead he has just shown that skeptics get purged from peer review. It’s official now, 99% of peer reviewed articles have to say they believe in order to get published.

@Gekov: No, you're right. My bad.
Our massive increase in co2 being expelled into the atmosphere and the resulting global changes to sea and air temperatures are a coincidence.
Nothing to see here, move along, don't be scared of this lump of coal, etc etc etc.
When a thread about Trump's amazing new echo chamber/social media brings about climate change deniers, you know it's going to be some quality, and the real facts are just being hidden by MSM and the scientists around the world are being paid by Big Green to keep quiet.
@SBOB: "Our massive increase in co2 being expelled into the atmosphere"
A drop in the ocean when Mother Nature emits 97% of total CO2 emissions [only 3% of total from humanity] through decaying vegetation and warming oceans emitting..

Climatic Change in Australia Since 1880

Published: 1953
Abstract
Australian climatic data show that, for the period 1911-1950, the summer rainfall over much of the southern part of the continent was considerably greater than in the previous 30 years and, for the same season, mean daily maximum temperatures in the interior were appreciably lower. A difference in character of the annual variation of atmospheric pressure between these periods also suggests a shift of mean position of the subtropical high-pressure belt.

This is one of those things where you forget just how many stupid people there are in the world. Always surprises me that people flock to this stuff and how many use it. Always upsetting - wish people weren't as stupid as they are.
Always surprises me that people flock to this stuff and how many use it.
It apparently allows people to comment on things that other social media would censor.
Always upsetting
Why?
The sort of stuff they want to comment is harmful conspiracy theories and disgusting things like mass murder videos and child porn. Of course it is upsetting and shameful that the human race has produced individuals that want to do this.
I'd say most pedos are actually left leaning, Cardinal Pell doesn't seem like a trump supporter to me, more of a do good lefty type.
@[Deactivated]: wtf? You think the conservative catholics are lefties? Right… makes total sense.
I guess that's why Howard and Abbott supported him….. cause they are lefties.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/feb/27/tony-…
You think only right-leaning people have anything to do with child pornography?
@brendanm: People posting pornography get banned from mainstream platforms. Platforms that are about letting everyone say what they want will have to allow it or be hypocrites, so it is going to attract people that like to post that stuff, and anything else that society finds wrong.
@Quantumcat: Still has nothing to do with political leanings. Even 4chan doesn't allow it.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from repercussions, it also doesn't mean that you are allowed to break the law.
People posting pornography get banned from mainstream platforms
Child pornography, yes. Pornography, no. Most Instagram accounts are probably bordering on pornography these days. Vapid people with nothing else to post but pictures of themselves posing as provocatively as possible, nothing else to add to the world.
Sexualisation is at an all time high, and it has nothing to do with Trump's stupid social media platform, and everything to do with Facebook, Instagram etc.
Still has nothing to do with political leanings
It doesn't. Right wing extremists are just one example of the dregs of society, other examples are those that are interested in child porn and mass murder videos.
Instagram does not have child porn on it, if it does get posted it is removed and the user banned and (hopefully) reported to police. Thank your lucky stars that you don't really understand what it is.
Right wing extremists are just one example of the dregs of society
Correct, except you left out that pretty much all political extremists are the dregs of society, and seem fixated on the right. You seem to think that only right leaning people will be posting child porn. This is very far from the truth.
Instagram does not have child porn on it
It has extremely sexualised images of children and young women. It promotes sexualisation.
Thank your lucky stars that you don't really understand what it is.
I understand what it is, and who does it, far better that you. My wife has to work with not only the victims of this sort of thing, but also the perpetrators.
It has extremely sexualised images of children and young women. It promotes sexualisation.
That's not the same thing as child porn.
You seem to think that only right leaning people will be posting child porn. This is very far from the truth.
That's what you thought I said, I told you I didn't, you still seem to think so.
@Quantumcat: Haha my goodness. So because they aren't naked in the pictures, it's perfectly ok?
