Utopia Talk / Politics / Truth Social

murder Member	Wed Oct 20 20:35:56 That's a social media site that Trump claims he's launching next year. That's the joke.
Habebe Member	Wed Oct 20 20:52:47 Sounds gay...
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Oct 20 21:48:37 this press release makes it sound like it’s being entirely funded by others while he takes credit, which would be very on brand for him http://pbs...XoAEMIqZ?format=jpg&name=large
Paramount Member	Thu Oct 21 01:49:08 Follow the Truth! No sect warning there. Nope.
murder Member	Thu Oct 21 15:23:44 The idiots that join and the people investing deserve each other.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Oct 22 14:20:00 "'Truth Social', which will launch officially later in the year, is seemingly using Mastodon's codebase without credit." http://www...truth-social-is-mastodon-trump using freeware also on brand
Paramount Member	Fri Oct 22 14:34:14 Its terms also say that “all source code” of Truth Social is proprietary. That might run afoul of Mastodon’s own license. “The main thing is that Mastodon is free software, released under the AGPLv3 license, so anyone can use it—provided they comply with the license. The main part of the license is making the source code and any modifications to it available to the public,” Rochko told Motherboard. With Truth Social saying that its code is proprietary “that would be a problem, as that would indicate a license violation,” Rochko added. Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, did not respond to a request for comment. - - I’m gonna email Truth Social and ask them send the source code and all eventual modifications they have made to me. They have to make it avaiable to the public.
Rugian Member	Fri Oct 22 14:36:48 Already made the jump! Bye bye, Jack Dorsey.
Paramount Member	Fri Oct 22 14:45:01 ”… Daily Dot reporter Mikael Thalen posting a screenshot of a Truth Social account he managed to register in Donald Trump’s name.” ^ This means that Trump can’t use the name Donald Trump. He would have to use TheRealDonaldTrump or TheRealPotus or something similar.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Oct 22 14:54:55 there's also this article: "Trump’s new social network could fit an old business model: Lending his name to make low-risk profits" http://www...c-9241-aad8e48f01ff_story.html not sure what's in article (don't have subscription) but that's how his Trump Towers work: he sells his name to another company that does all the funding & building of it... he just plasters his photo, quotes, & name all over the brochures to mislead investors (& in that press release i posted above, it noted some other company's money being used here)
murder Member	Fri Oct 22 19:34:27 Like I said ... "The idiots that join and the people investing deserve each other."
murder Member	Fri Oct 22 19:35:00 "Already made the jump! Bye bye, Jack Dorsey." Like I said ...
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Oct 25 00:36:35 apparently Trump also trademarking the words “truthing”, “post a truth”, “retruth” and “follow the truth” presumably that's "tweeting", "tweet", "retweet" & "follow" so moving further into our dystopian world
Habebe Member	Mon Oct 25 01:22:34 I heard its against the rules to critisize Trump on there. Which, I get, e is the worlds largest hate lightning rod.
murder Member	Mon Oct 25 06:41:05 I'll be surprised if this even gets off the ground. It sounds like just another half assed grift.
Habebe Member	Mon Oct 25 06:45:27 Its very likley a money scheme. But it could* be both. It cant be that hard tweak a twitter clone, can it?
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Oct 25 12:06:06 he's desperate to get 'likes' & 'retweets' again so i'm sure a legitimate attempt (crowd sizes / ratings / 'likes' are what give his life meaning) although as he's a fraud moron who's unwilling to spend any of his own money, not surprised they are just going w/ a freeware option
