Great. Good to see more possibilities for these platforms which address the real or perceived biases and disagreements about moderation that conservatives and Trump supporters seem to have with big existing players.

I hope it works out well for them and gives them more options to voice and discuss their ideas.

I still don't think it would justify the "they're a private copmany they can do what they want" argument about social media and internet giants who absolutely work to influence public opinion and discussion for their own benefit. I think there are real externalities to society there that probably need regulation, not just competition.


I don't remember who it was that said the cope invective was just another form of learn to code, but it looks like these folks tool both literally.
