'Banning free speech': President Trump pushes back on Twitter ban.......

"I predicted this would happen. We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future. We will not be SILENCED!" the president added. "Twitter is not about FREE SPEECH. They are all about promoting a Radical Left platform where some of the most vicious people in the world are allowed to speak freely. STAY TUNED!"

"As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me — and YOU, the 75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me," the president said in a message on Friday night from his presidential Twitter account. "Twitter may be a private company, but without the government's gift of Section 230 they would not exist for long."

Trump circumvented Twitter's ban of his personal account, posting the message briefly from his @POTUS handle before the tweet disappeared. His message was then released in an official statement.

Continuing to follow my President’s lead.

Twitter was never important to me so its no big loss.

Facebook is tricky because I reconnected with many of my old airborne friends.

Parler is just horrible format.

I hope conservatives can come up with a site for us so we can exercise our First Amendment rights without socialist overlords.

[the thing you have to always do is [realize] that freaking out doesn’t help anything. And to be the calm, cool, and collected voice,]

I kept trying not to laugh while reading that Reason article. The rest of it was similarly unintentionally humorous.

We need alternatives to:
Twitter
Facebook
Youtube
Amazon
Google
Google Home
And any other products or services owned by these companies.

Parler works as an alternative to Twitter.

Need alternatives to Facebook.

Need alternative to Youtube. And a mass migration of content providers to the new platform. Rumble works but doesn’t have sufficient content volume yet.

I watch youtube a lot. For news, for videos on physics, astronomy, gardening, health, tech, all sorts of things, even occasionaly movies or TV shows. And I keep thinking, I’m just going to have to turn it off. I hate thinking everytime I watch a video there, I’m making money for youtube.

This is being used and it hosts itself.

“Hawley called out Dorsey for his response saying: ‘This level of idiocy confirms the widespread impression that Jack’s primary food source is weed’ in a tweet.”

Looks like an opportunity to educate those friends.

If Trump starts his own platform, the left will certainly keep it off cell phones. They are full of hate and going for the kill. They want us dead (literally), and as they see it Trump is no longer in their way.

First they push you back inside when you need to be out and about and then they tell you you’re not welcome on social media...You have to ask yourself, “How important is Facebook?” and “If the world stopped using Facebook right now, what would happen?” and “Would it be the end of the world if Facebook were to suddenly disappear?”.

Create a toilet paper brand with the Twitter logo on every sheet

Surrender or “FIGHT” ( by different ways ) that’s the deal

If President Trump starts his own platform, the apps could be hosted just about anywhere. They’re only files. Are we all too brainless and helpless to use anything but the Google Play Store?

"If Trump starts his own platform, the left will certainly keep it off cell phones."

I don't think that possible.
