Bravo!
She's taken a leaf out of Musks book.
Finally a place where hard Marxists can openly call for overthrowing the government and killing the bourgeoisie without being censored. Right?
Obviously. It's uncensored after all.

It's illegal to run an uncensored social media network in the UK so I'm intrigued what she actually means. Probably similar to Musk's idea of free speech
Oh don't worry I'm sure it will be censored.
It will definitely be interesting to watch how this ends up because she doesn't really have the cult following that is required to pull something like this off.
oh she has a cult following all right.
just not one that wishes her well

This woman has a humiliation fetish, doesn't she?
Truss made the revelation at a cryptocurrency conference in Bedford over the weekend.
Seems like it.
If hell is real it'll be a neverending cryptocurrency conference.

Uncensored social media has always devolved into shit. Every online MMO ever has experience with it. Chat moderation is important or you end up with spam and bots, and nazis everywhere.
It will be a hundred percent be censored lol
Read uncensored as "we get to pick what we allow." And people will cheer when "libtards" are censored, like it's some victory.
They just need to admit they want a safe space and be done with it.
How many un-federated free speech micro-blogging sites can the market support? I'm surprised Truth Social is still going now Twitter will let anyone pay these days. Are Parler and Gab even profitable?
The 4chan source code got leaked. Maybe she can use that!
"to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about"
Who are you going to talk about these issues with, then? A selection of other salad ingredients?
Don't wanna talk about... like the horrible damage she did the country maybe?
Nazis nazis everywhere
Does anybody actually like her- like anybody at all?
No
Probably hasn't heard of the fediverse...
Don't give her any ideas
I want the cute Liz Truss back, the one that announced with a slightly shy and awkward grin that she was opening new pork markets in China. I don't like Evil Truss, that started out by murdering QE2 then tried to do the same to the UK economy.
Sorry, but her daddy/Master has always been conservative overlords.
Lmao what an idiot.
Behold, the power of roubles
As the Friday Night Comedy podcast would have it:
I knoooooow
Hey, I've seen this one before
So is it allowed to post boobs?
god she's a genuine ghoul and I can't wait to stop hearing about her.
Will it be made of cheese?
It better not be imported cheese. That would be a disgrace.
She made an absolute mess as a PM so why should we trust her with a social network?

Following in the footsteps of former Tory MP turned right-wing grifter Louise Mensch. Her one of these, named Menshn (IIRC), lasted a year or two before it was shut down due to lack of interest.
