I don't even know where to begin.LINK
The MyPIllow guy is starting a conservative focused social media platform.
This is going to be big I think

Meh. What did you guys think was going to happen? Did you think that conservatives were going to take censorship sitting down?
Expect more platforms to start popping up.

The dude couldn't get out of the first paragraph of the announcement without talking about the way he's going to "censor"1 people on the platform.
1 using conservative's definition of "censorship".

SM is divisive enough. Going to get even worse when we start splitting that up into "Liberal" SM and "Conservative" SM. We need to do the opposite with our news and SM. I am sure it will get a little traction though.

“You will have 10 times the viewers” 
To be fair I would call it "normal" SM and conservative social media. 90% of users chat with friends and take pictures of their food

I'm looking forward to this.
Gab/Parler/Frank, are there any others?
I read that if you join Frank, you are automatically following some list of influencers that they determine, and you have to unfollow them if you don't want to see their stuff.
This should go over well.
He's also launching MyStore so you can own Bezos by shopping there.

probably Costco.Just bought two sets of Giza sheets. They got the deep pockets and fit over the sleep number beds. Dont know anywhere else you can get that for $99 a pop.
Nope, just asked the wife and she paid $140 and they suck for deep corners. They come off every damn night. That's why I placed the order.probably Costco.

The MyPillow guy seems very rationale and clearheaded.

Who are these "influencers"?
Banned for posts violating the Ten Commandments - what does a post like that look like? (Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife - so no talking about other ladies? Thou shalt not steal - better not talk about that movie you watched illegally! Thou shalt have no other gods before me - so... only Christians too?)
They will have no members within a week.

Well, when someone says this is going to be the free speech platform that won't censor - only to then say that they will in fact censor stuff. It may not be wrong, but it certainly is hypocritical and hilarious

I have a number of conservative friends on FB who complain about the censorship and either left the platform or threaten to leave the platform. But every one of them is back to regularly posting on FB. I think the reason is because for most everyone (even those inclined to focus on political issues), FB is about connecting with friends and family. And unless a majority of your friends and family decide to migrate en masse to a new platform, the experience just won’t be the same. My two cents.

Eventually they will end up censoring things they don`t agree with just like Twitter and FB. They all end up the same
KarmaPolice

Correct, just ironic that they are doing this as a counter to the "censoring", and they are starting at a point from day 1 of banning more people for what they say.
I don't think anyone believes any of this movement is about freedom. It's about freedom for them to do the things they like.
KarmaPolice
Footballguy
I also don't believe this dude is about freedom - it's about getting a focused group to advertise to and make more money off of.
Well that's the other part for him.
The larger group however I really do consider not about freedom at all. They just want freedom to lie and threaten who they want. They don't want freedom for others they disagree with
KarmaPolice

I am not going to go that far, but it would seem counter intuitive to complain about censorship and lack of freedom of voice, and then choose a platform that starts off as even more selective and more limited in speech.
I think most within this group would be more than happy to apply the same religious test to the American public if they were given the chance

Long term addiction to crack isn't very good for the brain. I would imagine he's got permanent cognitive disabilities from his years and years of smoking crack.

Seems like that site is more of "moderating" some swearing and slurs. No site needs that.
Don`t think they will censor opinions like FB and Twitter do..I mean that is why he started it.
He says right in his initial release that they will be banning many things...that is censoring straight up. They are ok with censoring things they don't like

Whatever..I gave up Twitter long time ago as it is like poison for the mind. Such a hateful, angry site . Won`t join Frank either. No need for those in my life anymore as I try to stay happy and somewhat calm.
Pro tip: Follow people who aren't hateful or angry.
I mean, there's definitely nothing wrong with not being on Twitter. But there's also nothing inherently hateful or angry about it.

You are probably right...also should stop reading the comments. That is where all the the anger and hate comes from.
