GETTR

[Wingnut]

I never used twitter, but I signed up and have a GETTR account.  I like it.  Hope it prospers and is the death of that blackhole of liberalism they call twitter.

Post up your GETTR name if you are on the platform..

Wouldn't you know it? As soon as people started joining GETTR in droves, they banned one conservative pundit (Elijah Schaffer), and now people are complaining that GETTR is censoring and is worse than twitter.

@ElijahSchaffer
43m I am now fully learning the Democrat and Chinese connections of @GETTRofficial with only a little, basic research
Also a reminder they are banning people based on political disagreements
This looks really bad. They won’t explain any of this to me via comment.

@ElijahSchaffer
 · 2h    After speaking directly to @GETTRofficial
Not only am I shadow banned on their platform 
But they indirectly admitted they ban people based on behavior outside their platform, not by direct TOS violations
So as of now, this is not a free speech platform @joerogan

Gettr Global Communications Director, Ebony Bowden, Anti-Trump / Pro-Obama Past Revealed
The new social media app, Gettr, touting itself as the ‘free speech’ alternative to Twitter has hired a global communications director with a long past of criticizing former President Donald J Trump, supporting Hillary Clinton as well as praising the liberal Barack Obama. ...

Daily Veracity (whatever that is).

I don't know.  I joined GETTR as @FerdBerfle21 and will check in occasionally.

So who is Elijah Schaffer, and what did he allegedly do that got him banned?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Thanks for the update.  I'll post my GETTR "handle" when I join.  I'm still a little hesitant for some reson ... so I'll gve it a little time and see how it shakes out.

He's with BlazeTV. He asked GETTR why they banned the controversial (and possibly white supremacist) Nick Fuentes, and now GETTR has shut him down. I don't know whether he was sticking up for Fuentes  or not.

All this social media drama is just not worth it. Time to cut back.

[Kamaji]

He's with BlazeTV. I don't know what he did to offend GETTR.

A little butthurt.  Maybe a little bitch?  I don't know.

I have an account under my website name Fullervision. I'm not sure if I will ever use it.

From an aesthetic/function standpoint, I'm not impressed. It looks like a bland Twitter knockoff without any identity of its own.

[Hoodat]

GETTR account = Hoodat

(Every other name I wanted was already taken)

Don't know how to post or read other people's GETTs.  Busy learning Python right now.

GETTR Shadow Bans Reporter Who Queried Ban of America First Streamer, Has 'Nothing More to Say'

Jack Hadfield   |   January 5, 2022 at 5:20pm

As National File previously reported, Nick Fuentes, the host of popular nightly show America First, was permanently banned from GETTR last month for seemingly no reason:

Fuentes attempted to rejoin the platform multiple times on Tuesday evening, but was banned shortly after each time, even as viewers watched on his live stream.

“If I go on there, and they ban me for being me, well what is that? It’s arbitrary, it’s discretionary, and when they ban groyper, that takes it to a different level,” Fuentes said on his stream, referring to previous reports from the Daily Beast and others that GETTR had banned the term “groyper” from their platform, a name used to describe supporters of Fuentes.

Schaffer, a reporter for The Blaze, was one of the first in the media to question Fuentes’s ban from GETTR, and received confirmation from the Alt Tech site that Fuentes had allegedly broken their terms of service, but they did not respond to his inquiry as to what rules Fuentes specifically broke, or what posts.  .  .

Meet the new boss.  Same as the old boss.

Gettr doesn't want me, Page will not load fully even with adblock turned off (3rd party frames). I tried it with a VPN to check if my IP was blocked...

That is fine, they (Gettr/Trump central) can keep sites like that, if they are going to behave like a twitter/facebook/Youtube ban place. Perhaps they are browser snobs, who knows.



EDIT: Seems they are browser snobs... I can access the site via Brave browser but not PaleMoon browser (my perfered browser).... So they can keep their site, I can stick with what works.

Perhaps you could know why their browser preference if any or
the reason for your denial to join by asking them directly. I wouldn't
be bashful and post here what if anything you find out.

I did close a bank account with PNC recently when they decided
which browser I could use. They didn't like Vivaldi my preference
but they did accept Brave which was not on their list.

I parted company with PNC a few months ago.

GETTR wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the blatant bias against conservative views.  Yeah, it might be a knockoff, but at least it allows you make your thoughts known.  Also realize TWTR is 10X older than GETTR, so it is kind of early to be blasting a site for not establishing an idenity.

[libertybele]

I took a glance at GETTR this morning, and I think I'll wait a little longer to see how things go.  I'm hesitant to join any social media; I'm not on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., and I really prefer not to join right now.
