All fucking social media glows. It's just a matter of how bright. Seriously, people need to stop fucking doxxing themselves.

Every piece of information you put out about yourself, you are explicitly asking to be treated differently. Most of the time it's wanting positive treatments, but regardless, you want to be unequal.

The only true equality is anonymity.

The classic "tits or gtfo" explanation.

I've yet to see you call anyone a cunt in a friendly manner or otherwise, so I'm going to press X to doubt.

For example, how do you discriminate against a person you know nothing about? The closest you'll get is idiots obsessed with IdPol trying to put a label on you.

The tried and true method on Reddit involves going through someone's account posting history, sometimes back several years, and then using that to create an identity for someone.

"You once posted in /funny but nothing you say is funny therefore you're a liar and everything you say must therefore be a lie!"

For example, if I reveal myself to be Australian, I can expect my opinion on issues pertaining to Australia to hold more value than non-Australians.

If: platform won't permit criticism of jews

Then: controlled opposition and/or honeypot

It's really that simple. It doesn't matter whether you're an anti-semite or an "anti-semite", this simple proof clearly works.

Also, I'm sure most here have seen the resurfaced tweets of that Ebony woman who is some sort of important person at GETTR.

She claims "oh it was 5 years ago when I said Trump's election made me cry at my desk, but I've changed!"

Whether she's changed or not is kind of irrelevant. Never give any time or effort or money (for god's sake) to a company that hires emotional children who a) cry about politics and b) post about crying on social media for fake sympathy points.

I agree this whole fuckin' thing glows like the Elephant's foot at the bottom of Chernobyl surely did.

– Assassin47 40 points 4 years ago +40 / -0

I'd say controlled opposition makes more sense. A honey pot would want to get a bunch of weirdos saying crazy shit so the feds could PM them and lure them into a fake bombing or something. GETTR seems more like it wants to corral "good" conservatives into one place and control the anti-establishment narrative so it doesn't get too anti-establishment.

Elijah's earlier tweets about Nick on Jan 4: https://twitter.com/ElijahSchaffer/status/1478414774396506114

I am becoming suspicious of @GETTRofficial as I reached out to them regarding the banning (w/out explanation) of a prominent, controversial user

They said he violated their TOS, but won’t respond to my inquiry of what in their TOS he violated or what post violated it 1/2

I reached out to the banned individual, Nicholas Fuentes, for comment

He said there was no specific post or reason given, just banned w/out explanation just like Twitter does

With financing being from China and similar banning practices to Twitter

I’m not convinced atm

My inquiry was extremely professional and predicated on the basis that the public deserves the right to know @GETTRofficial’s threshold for banning users

Largely in part due to their users joining to avoid the very censorship practices they appear to be implementing

Same job, different boss. I’m only gonna be real with you guys, I’m disappointed because I wanted and currently want this to be our way out of censorship, but it’s not. Anyone promoting @GETTRofficial is grifting or willfully ignorant. Defending banning people is our end

https://twitter.com/ElijahSchaffer/status/1478859391394844672

I am now fully learning the Democrat and Chinese connections of @GETTRofficial with only a little, basic research. Also a reminder they are banning people based on political disagreements. This looks really bad. They won’t explain any of this to me via comment.

That shit should be illegal! TOS on these things was always a joke anyway, but if we ever want to rest control from the woke cathedral, we need anti-Cancel laws. A big company, corporation, or anyone offering a "platform" where anyone can sign up should not be able to deny service for anything not directly interfering with the service. (like incessant spamming) Would not apply to small companies or those in an already established contractual business relationship. But it WOULD apply to banks and credit card companies.

Shadow banning should be illegal in all cases. And banning should publicly reference an actual law being violate (not a bullshit Twitter made up rule, but an actual state or federal statute that they believe is being violated).

So how are they any different? The shilling for them is ridiculous.

I can’t stand this “behavior outside platform” thing. It’s always political. Imagine if it becomes the norm for banks, phone service, etc.

I almost hope it does so we can just bifurcate already. Separate society is the only solution imo.

It's easier to delete/ban if you have a power than face the reality, truth, open discussion for proving your opinions and facts. But truth is going to come out eventually, hopefully not too late. Even tho I believe it's 2 years too late

Gab continues to be the only true free speech platform on the internet.

Isn't Gab banning for anime and porn? If so, I wouldn't call that a true free speech platform.

No, just porn.

If so, I wouldn't call that a true free speech platform.

No. But you at least won't get censored for what you say & what you write.

Free speech matters, but picking your battles also matters. And anyone thinking of starting a free speech website like 8 Chan was, will have to contend with the Woke & Glowies spamming CP on their site to slander them/get them in legal trouble. I can't necessarily blame anyone for settling for free speaking over free speech by banning porn entirely from their alt tech platform (though yes, I know the owner of Gab is just doing it for Trad Cuck reasons).

I really think that "porn as the ultimate free speech" is a psyop to pit the libertarians who just want to be left alone to be coomers against the honest-to-God conservatives who want to live in a society with standards.

I don't, not at all times, but I don't mind the option. Gab is kinda ok, probably best in terms what you can say, user activity and features, but I just don't believe a "truly free speech platform" would have such limitations. Also you can have simple toggle for users who wish to not see nsfw content (like twitter and flote does).
