Like I said, they shoulda started with Android....isn’t that the larger market?
So in your opinion it is ok to critize jews, ever heard 0f the holocaust?
Thanks for posting. This is very interesting to those of us who don’t understand how these things work.
How many active users does FR have? A lot of people that were here even two years ago got driven off.
Yes and yes, if they act in ways that are against US interests.
The pictures and depictions of Jews on Gab equals those of Nazi Germany, disgraceful. I cancelled my account shortly after joining Gab not realizing this was tolerated there, there should be no room for racists in the republican party or conservative movement, it is not in our best interest.
Start with bigger Android market when they now couldn’t even make the smaller Apple market work?
The only folks who give a darn about who owns more -— are idiots. Geesh. 10% vs 9%.
If Musk can secure >30% he will control. If >50% he can force a vote on anything.
At this point it doesn’t look like it matters....at least if it got off the ground with Android first there’d be a larger audience from the start.
That’s my uneducated thinking anyway
Vanguard would lose “nothing”?
Either way, manipulate it, raise the stock and then dump it. Make them take a loss whichever way
I hear claims like that but I have no idea of how anyone knows or can identify bots. I can’t tell.
I wish blackrock would buy my MIL’s house!
AOL was a closed system. Closed systems died when the World Wide Web showed up.
Netscape was/is a broswer. Mozilla Firefox is its current incarnation
Together, Vanguard, Morgan Stanley, Blackrock and State Street own over 25% of Twitter stock.

If necessary, they'll just make something up. FedGov is absolutely evil in every respect.
That is what I have heard. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
should be shut down? hardly. blocking them is easy enough. I suspect most of them are actually trolls, possibly even government funded trolls designed to make the site look bad. On Gab, if it's protected by the first amendment, you can say it. That sounds like a reasonable stance to take to me. I'm not interested in shutting down anyone's ability to speak, even cretins. Sadly, not everyone is as supportive of free speech, obviously.
AOL was # 1 on the web long before Google or Facebook or Twitter.
Netscape browser died long ago after being the #1 browser.
Internet Explorer from Microsoft was the # 1 browser for along time before getting clobbered by Chrome.
Truth Social is only available to Apple users. There is still no android app, there is no web based product and is apparently available only in the US. Trump had 89 million followers on Twitter and has less than a million on Truth Social. There are people who have been on a waiting list for a month just to download the app. My nephew has the app and was finally able to download it, but has not really used it.
Anyway, it’s a major undertaking to launch something like this, but sometimes the media is correct.
