"Lettuce Speak Freely"

[–] [email protected] 103 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Even more a 'i want to say hateful stuff and not be held accountable for my own stupidity' platform.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 month ago

You'll need to make new account every 49 days

Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Hasn‘t she embarrassed herself enough by now?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Haven't you heard? She isn't the type to give up.

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

[–] YurkshireLad 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Aren't there enough right wing echo bunkers at this point?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She's a moron, always has been - but who is the money behind her?

[–] TheFeatureCreature 17 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Time to start live streaming a lettuce again to as the traditional Liz Truss standard for how long her projects last...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Oh good, yet another shitty twitter clone.

I don't get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just roll mastodon and defederate from all other instances

[–] inconel 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Truth social is mastodon fork so following the suit is possible. On my masto feed someone posted its link as reference and I was surprised thay my masto client handled it as just like one of the instance

There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America's 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I'm so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

True embarrassment to the UK.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

So it will shut down in a week as well?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fully expecting this to be like Truth Social, based off fediverse software with no attribution and no federation.

Feel like I've seen this one before

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Hey, I've seen this one before.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

There we go again. Another Trump bitch trying to please the orange morron. Maybe she can share a bed with Nigel Farage.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She even talks like a Trump. Is it contagious?

Another badly executed neoliberal neocon shithole predicated on open-source tech and standards yay!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

You mean colossal failure Liz truss who couldn't outlast a head of lettuce?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Cheese markets

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lemme guess, they're gonna launch a private Mastodon server.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I hope not.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I think I'll join the platform that the lettuce launches, it'll likely last longer

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

A worthy successor to 4chan.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Her parents are so disappointed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Just like every other supposed "free speech" platform, eh? How'd that all work out?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

So...we will all be making accounts to post photos of our lettuces?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I remember Lizz Truss. For a short time I could winge about the conservative party to cab drivers without any fear that they would agree with them.

One of the good things about the UK is Trump style behaviour does not work here for long. Unfortunately it's more of an objection to incompetence than bigotry but that's life

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Didn't that Trump style behavior convince you guys to leave the EU?

Stupid cunt.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I sincerely hope this is the last time I read about Liz Truss and she just disappears into the sands of history.

This clown cannot get over the fact that she's a complete and utter failure in almost all ways a human being can be. And she's a despicable slug, too.
