The site is a great place to meet criminals, rapists and perverts.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 months ago

There are also other people on there if you don't just want to meet Trump.

... Granted, most of them want to emulate him.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

"and some of them might be good people"

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

"Might" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, bud.

[-] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

And at least one juror from Trumps NY criminal trial.

[-] NeptuneOrbit@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

A hive of scum and villain, even?

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I honest to god think that’s an insult to Mos Eisley spaceport

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

Almost like they have attracted everyone they will with their ideas. And the only place they have to go now is down, or more bots.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

And Russians. Probably people from the Israeli, Saudi and Hungarian far right too.

Since they tout it as some sort of "free speech" haven, I'm curious if communists made accounts and started sharing our thoughts if our "free speech" would still be welcome? 🫢

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

They would love that! The biggest gripe they have is there is no one to argue with or troll. Makes for pretty boring discussion if everyone thinks the same.

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Discussion isn't really something they partake in

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Well, they are competing with Xitter and Facebook for the “paranoid delusional right wing moron” demographic.

[-] Dreizehn@kbin.social 11 points 3 months ago

Pravda Social should market their bullshit in Russia and China, they have plenty of supporters in both shitholes.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

What business is there to lose?

They made $700k.

[-] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 5 points 3 months ago

Are they growing somewhere else?

Ah, Russia! The free-est of countries! Free like the wind coming out of an open window.

I know you're kidding, but when I travel to the BVIs, Antigua, the Caribbean in general, they all hold Trump in very high esteem, they're surprised I don't actually.

People in developing countries (am I allowed to say that anymore?) see him as a rogue outsider that beat the political elite at their own game by being himself.

They don't see that he was a tool for another set of corrupt politicians to get two justices and maybe two more, they just see a hero.

Edit: Why the fuck are you down voting? This is my experience in other countries. They look up to the piss baby man child. These are candid conversations with real people y'all. I know he's a billionaire piece of shit, but that's not the messaging getting out to the rest of the world.

I spent about a decade working with refugees and had the same experience with Pakistani people. It felt like I was in bizarro world. They're waiting 10+ years to get to the US, and during that time Trump basically tries to ban refugee entries altogether, and they're still like, nope Trump's a great guy. I don't understand the world I guess.

[-] Haus@kbin.social 2 points 3 months ago

Nah, they just can't spell truth.

[-] bquintb@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

That place is like 90% bots. It's bots trolling bots.

[-] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

They even gave up on making more bots. It's that shit of a platform.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Wow. I always thought the share price was rigged!
