Surprise to not see any eagles in that video.

"Some call themselves patriots, the others are terrorists, spot the difference"



Awkward.

One man's patriot is another man's terrorist.

maybe America should invade Florida

"Rebirth of our nation" :dork:

Yeah, it's a little on the nose.

The link is down now. Looks like Amazon pulled the AWS plug.

well thank god our benevolent internet overlords have our best interests at heart, and are protecting us from wrongthink

now all i need is jeff bezos to tuck me in and read me a story <3

Go incite violence on any major social platform and see how it goes for you. Pretty sure you'll get smacked down just the same. Ain't any big tech company got time for that shit. You want free speech, create your own platform and host it yourself.

I'm all for free speech but I care even more about accountability. Morons need to learn that words and actions have consequences.

That being said, twitter can eat a big fat cock. It's the worst thing that ever happened to the internet.

In my opinion, Facebook takes that honor...

Yeah, I'd say Facebook is worse.

There’s more hate on Twitter. More morons on Facebook.

TicTok is a new type of absolute shite.

Are you fucking kidding me? Pretty sure Russia will host that shit for free. Also, I said host it yourself, don't need to pay anyone then.

"host it yourself" :olo:

sure, just build a server farm in the spare bedroom. i mean, how hard can it be?

and yes, Russia probably would host it. in fact i'm kinda surprised that Russian hosts aren't doing that now

God damnit Kracus, it’s not like hosting a Quake 3 game...:olo:

The ridiculousness of hosting something yourself is actually my point. People often cry about free speech online regarding social media and in cases like Parler the actual host itself but neglect to consider the fact that if you have the money, you can do it yourself. Is it expensive? Yes, very. However are you blocked from doing it? No you're not.

You could argue that money = free speech and then you'd actually be discussing the real problem. This isn't about how social media platforms behave it's about some groups having more access to free speech than others because of their net worth and that's a real problem.

everyone just banned the president of the united states from their platforms

even though the guy is a cockmongling shitgibbon, the fact that you can be deprived of your ability to reach people even if you're the POTUS should be a concern
