Basically he's tweeting onto a web Page. You can post links to his "tweets" there. At least for now.

President Trump’s website is a great resource to find his latest statements and highlights from his first term in office, but this is not a new social media platform. We’ll have additional information coming on that front in the very near future

I wonder what the leftist authoritarians over at Twatter think about all this.

That new Trump website has to do more than act as a one-way bulletin board for Trump Snarky Wisdom.   

It needs to offer an alternative interactive platform in competition with Twatter.   

Oh.  I didn't see the post right above.   More is coming, aye.   Taking too long.

The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

I think it's in part to set up Trump to be able to sue under the new Florida law when that's passed. He will be able to classify as a publisher with the required 100,000 monthly viewers.

Want to get a good idea of the level of supression at Twitter?  Nearly 100% of the comments on Liz Cheney's "leadership" post are positive in her direction.  Think about it, this bitch has generated more mouth frothing GOP anger than anyone this year.

It would stand to reason that Twitter has lost around half its customer base. I wonder how the shareholders feel about Dempsey's stewardship of their investment?

I believe it. Screw that guy Jack and the little foreign-national woman he's got running their bureau of thought-crime investigations (TCI).  I stopped posting there, and I submit a complaint for every ad I see. Let them spend resources on all that crap - my goal is to be a net negative revenue generator for them.

Bass Wrangler....   You need to give all of us Briefers a Primer...   Maybe a new thread to teach us how to incur as much damage to Big Tech as possible.

The key is to think about what makes them money. Social media makes their money in two ways:

  • Ad revenue. They get paid a little bit for presenting an ad, but get much more money if you click an ad. Don't click any ads on Fecebook or Twatter.
  • Selling your data. Not much you can do about this, other than to close your account. Install a good ad blocker - one that also blocks trackers. This at least reduces the data they get from you and makes what they do get less valuable.

You can also think about what costs them money. Any sort of task that requires human intervention costs them money. It's hard to sustain that, because if something starts overwhelming their human-based systems, it'll be the next thing they figure out how to automate. For example, I'm sure when someone reports an ad or a post, it just increments a counter somewhere. They probably have some machine-learned algorithms that look at the ad/post as well. Reported ads/posts that the algorithm flags, or those whose reported counter goes above some threshold, will get looked at by a human. If every conservative started flagging leftist crap the way leftists flag conservatives, it would cause them problems. Now if that happens, they might react by just banning you from the platform, or flagging your account as a known trouble-maker.

The only long-term solution is to find a conservative friendly alternative platform and leave Fecebook and Twatter behind.

Their stocks took a big hit.  More will follow once Trump's site is up!  The stockholders must be livid.  :whistle:

Like everything else he touches, it is all about him... His name front and center on the website, his spotlight.... Me Me Me... will this evolve into a "social media site" for others to use, I doubt it.

Remember when we had all those people telling us "when Trump launches his new social media site, I'm signing up right away!" And then he comes out with a cheap blog and you can't join it.

You're embarrassing yourself @jmyrlefuller   Neither the President nor his team announced a new social media platform... the stupid media (you know, the ones you trust) got it wrong.  You must have missed the tweet up thread correcting the false report ---- or were simply unable to understand it.

Why not aim your snark at the socialists ---- or at least get your facts straight?

Nothing @jmyrlefuller said was wrong. He only said what I heard also (mostly on Facebook), many Trump fans talking about instantly joining. The snark is all from you.

Maybe because he's angry that his election was stolen by criminals...?

He's a narcissist, but so was his incompetent predecessor.

@Right_in_Virginia so are you saying the article in the  thread I link below is wrong (honest question)?

https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,432105.0.html

Also, editorial comment: it would be great if you could make your point without the personal insults. I think a lot of folks, myself included, like to hear your perspective. Insulting other members detracts from that.
