On the snark-positive side, TFG has a new social media site planned, but how long are his minions gonna be able to keep *this* one up?
This press release reporters are getting is legit – confirmed to me by sources close to former President Trump. He is launching a media company with a social media platform called “TRUTH Social”. pic.twitter.com/b417jq6Xkd

The twenty-third rule for Trump's planned social media site is that you can't use it to make fun of his new social media site. pic.twitter.com/0YQK7aPFpw

Was just able to setup an account using the handle @donaldtrump on 'Truth Social,' former President Donald Trump's new social media website.
Although the site is not officially open, a URL was discovered allowing users to sign up anyway. pic.twitter.com/MRMQzjNhma

I think TFG’s recent, entirely spiteful posts on Powell and Cheney demonstrate that there is now no filter between him and the outside world. The few remaining actual Republicans should be concerned, the Trumpites are getting what they want.

Does Twitter really think it’s part of its mission to protect the tender sensibilities of those too fucking stupid to understand the nature of DPRK News Service?
Efg them.

‘Now available for pre-order in the Apple App Store”. WTF does that even mean? ‘Download this placeholder app that Jared was responsible for, and the real app will be released soon, trust me.’ Sounds legit.

I am pretty sure it was the tweet about Kim being the only one allowed to murder members of the people assembly that got DPRK News to pull the plug. As I was mentioning earlier today the Tory Troll bots were swarming DPRK news for daring to make a joke about their Martyred MP.
And even the NYT Pitchbot has problems with people not getting it’s a parody account, even though it says it’s a parody account.

It’s not clear to me that the @DPRK_News account has been blocked. It’s still visible, with the latest post about seven hours ago. That might be around the time it was blocked, but I thought blocked accounts were not visible to other readers.
Geoduck
@Steeplejack: Locked is not the exact same thing as blocked, I think.
Major Major Major Major
@Geoduck: it can’t post until it says it’s a parody in its bio. Much ado about nothing.
Fair Economist
@Major Major Major Major: Gotta agree, what’s the big deal about a parody account calling it a parody account? In general, requiring spoofers to identify themselves is a good rule, and I don’t see a line to draw between this and a lot of potential malicious spoofs. And it *is* spoofing an actual government; a pretty awful one, sure, but again where do you draw the line between governments allowed verifiable communication and those denied it?

Looks like DPRK_News could be setup on the new Trump social media site.
Can’t wait to see what is going to be released. The last one was not very impressive. :)
Major Major Major Major
@Fair Economist: yeah this is Twitter behaving sort of responsibly. Or at least, like many here would like them to act.
Like I’m not feeling very sympathetic to this guy.
Chetan Murthy
@Major Major Major Major: On the one hand, sure: “say somewhere on your page that you’re a parody”[1]. On the other, they only ever do this to the powerless, or when they’re forced. Anybody with actual power, actual ability to hurt them, they just turn a blind eye. I mean, Cucker Tarlson is a great example: he’s still on the boob, still on twitter, still spreading his lies, still getting people killed. And twitter does nothing about it.
[1] because there will always be imbeciles, and, sure, we need to keep them from being deluded. But only by DPRK, not by Cucker Tarlson — that’d be going too far.

@Danielx:
If he’s gonna be on social media, this is probably the best way for it to happen: I cannot imagine him being able to hire or select am even marginally-competent team to run it for him. Much better than if he gets his Twitter account back.

So the Loser of Far-a Lardo is trying to erect yet another insta-dysfunctional social media site to stiffen the morale of the MAGAARGH hordes? How long before this one goes floppy – assuming, of course, that it ever does stand up?

Some Twitter people are gleeful that the site is a “Mastodon fork” with only the colors changed. I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like they’re incompetent. Par for the course with these imbeciles.

MobiousKlein, if you are around, you suggested to me downstairs doing my own, um, scaping before my ablation. Now, I have no particular to having some cute nurse VERY CAREFULLY cleaning me up down there, although I assume that would happen after lights out. No big deal unless he/she braids it, puts a bow in it, or similar. Curious about your suggestion.

Hell, sometimes I don’t bother looking at someone’s nym before firing off a response, let alone the bio.
I actually did respond to DougJ seriously once, for exactly that reason. Then I looked at the nym and said, “oops.”

Either rules 1-22 are a direct copy of Twitter’s, or rather of Twitter’s as of whatever version of the code they forked.
Or, rules 1-22 are about the requirements to at all times praise TFG and send him money.

$110 bucks say isn’t TFG’s idea, it’s Dumfuck Jr’s idea so he can keep on grifting from his grifter “Faaahtha”.
100% sure he’s going to pay himself millions to serve on it’s board or act aas a n advisor, which Daddy will transfer to him from one of his many “2024” PAC’s calling it “contractual services” or some such bullshit.
But because it’s got Junior’s fingers on it it will definitely fail.

@Fair Economist:
I’m surprised at the nanny-state advocacy in this thread. Is untagged sarcasm next in the ban list? How about puns? How about unclear language? How about deliberately misleading language? How about language deliberately crafted with multiple truthful parsings that some readers read one way and some others read another way?
