      Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?

      Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a “speech I like” platform.

          That doesn’t really cover it though. I mean look at all the people Musk has banned that have nothing to do with hate speech.

      So, do you guys think that her social media platform will last longer or less than a piece of lettuce?

        A lettuce probably has more leaves than her platform will have users.

        I’m sure if you follow the paper trail enough it’ll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.

        It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.
