Well. I started a substack "account?" "page?" "space?" with similar feelings, so, maybe I will see how it goes. But Truth (ahem) anti-Social does scare me a bit.
Not two minutes on Truth Social before I'd expect to be flooded with ads concerning 100% natural relief for my grapefruit size prostate and special offers on genuine 24 karat gold (plated) commemorating Donald J Trump's glorious victory at the Battle of Bowling Green.
I hope the social media intern in charge of posting on that platform has been authorized to be as snarky as they want to be and will never, ever have to read any of the replies. Except to maybe forward the actual death threats along to the FBI.
How long does everyone have to refer to "X, formerly known as Twitter"? It's just as dopey by now as "Angie, formerly known as Angie's List" on NPR. Why bother to change the name if everyone has to keep referencing the old name?
Muks still does not have the rights to the X.com domain, so it should be called 'Twitter, referred to by Muks as 'X' - it's not 'known' as anything else.
Probably. I thought the same. Still, I don't see why anyone should let Musk force them to use a name they don't want to. At this point, I think they can just drop the "X, the site formerly known as" part and just say "Twitter."

"He has to defend Donald Trump and try to pretend that guy isn’t a disgusting loser piece of actual catshit."
Catshit libelz!
According to Forbes, starting TruthSocial is what knocked him off the 400 Richest Bastards list. Do we really want to add to the traffic?
I couldn't love this more!!!
An update on Joe's status. Biden Campaign Now Has More Followers on Truth Social Than Trump’s @BidenHQ has 25.7k followers as of late Wednesday afternoon, while @TeamTrump only has 22k. https://www.thedailybeast.com/biden-campaign-now-has-more-followers-on-truth-social-than-trumps And he's just warming up. Der Furor has been there from Day One.
OK that's ACTUALLY hilarious. Oh my goodness.
Hope this isn't OT, OHJB has got this https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/18/joe-biden-urges-israel-not-be-consumed-by-rage-pledges-support-netanyahu-gaza-hamas
Bibi and Abdel Fattah El-Sisi opened the border at Egypt to allow aid to enter Gaza.
Sure someone else mentioned this but Forbes (!!) announced that the Biden campaign has more followers on Truth Social than the Trump campaign. LOL!!
Read it on The Daily Beast. Pasted above. That's our guy!
It's only because tiny hands will be obsessively checking that account every 4 minutes from now on.

I hope Wonkette will pay someone too pass along the funny bits; I just cannot see myself giving that Trumpster fire any traffic.
That's priceless! There's nothing more amusing than pranking grifters :)
OMG! Thousands of MAGAhats suddenly cried out and became silent. The reek of fried brain cells covers the nation like a pall.
I sense a great disturbance in the Farce
Can't wait for Dark Brandon to call TFG a lying sack of...uh...excrement.

I guess we're leaving Prince out of this.
(Miss him)
I'm calling it TwiX(ter): you can TwiX, you TwiXed,
"Angie, formerly known as Angie's List" stiil shows up om some TeeVee commercials.
Never mind they changed the name in 2021!
Mastodon is about 1000% better than Twitter, without the ad-crap, the algorithm-crap, or the $8-crap.

Yep, as long as the domain is Twitter Dot Com, it’s Twitter.
I prefer Xitter and Xeets, pronounced shzitter and shzeets, of course.
Nobody has to, it's just a lot more pleasant and fun than calling it X.
Mocking Muskrat is worth the extra work.
Does anybody have to use the new name -- legally, that is? Can't people still call it Twitter if they want to?
I wonder if the clarification “X, the site formerly known as Twitter,” is every outlet saying “how fucking stupid is this” without being explicit.
Probably. I thought the same. Still, I don't see why anyone should let Musk force them to use a name they don't want to. At this point, I think they can just drop the "X, the site formerly known as" part and just say "Twitter."
You have to love the people doing social media for Dark Brandon!
