Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
The Twitter rip-off is ostensibly very popular. Or at least, a lot of people are downloading the app.
Basically, they are giving a promise of censorship, and I guess liberals go around afraid that they will see some person’s internet comment and become a racist neo-Nazi white supremacist anti-vaxer Russian agent.
I can’t imagine being so insecure in my belief system that I am afraid to look at the internet because I’m afraid it will destroy my beliefs. This is very strange thinking.

Twitter threatened to sue Meta just one day after Facebook’s parent company went live with its Twitter-like social media app Threads, according to a report by Semafor.
“Competition is fine, cheating is not,” Twitter Executive Chairman Elon Musk tweeted in response to the report Thursday.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was reportedly sent a letter by Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro, accusing Meta of intentionally stealing “Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.”
Spiro accused Meta of getting Twitter’s secrets by hiring dozens of former Twitter employees and claimed the Facebook parent company put them to work making a Twitter copycat, using their insider knowledge to speed up development of the Threads app — which is “in violation of both state and federal law as well as those employees’ ongoing obligations to Twitter,” Spiro said in the letter.
If this is true – and it probably is – then it is actually pretty likely to cause Zuck some problems.
He seems to be thinking – and he’s right, actually – that if the app blows up, it will be worth whatever the lawsuits cost him. If it doesn’t blow up, the lawsuits will carry less weight.
Meta communications director Andy Stone rebutted the accusations, saying in a Thread that “no one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing.”
Later on Friday, Instagram chief Alex Heath said in a Thread that “the goal isn’t to replace Twitter” but instead be a “less angry place for conversations.” In response to a question about whether journalists and the news media would be supported on Threads, Heath acknowledged that while politics and hard news would inevitably show up on Threads, “we’re not going to do anything to encourage those verticals.”
Threads launched Wednesday, with Meta positioning the new social media app as a Twitter rival. You can sign up for Threads using your Instagram credentials and keep your username, followers and verification status. Here’s everything you need to know about Threads, which reached 70 million sign ups as of Friday morning, according to Zuckerberg.
They are saying it was the quickest app to ever reach 50 million users, but there are also claims that they are forcibly signing up Instagram users somehow.
Whatever.
Elon has made some very big management mistakes, but it’s still pretty unlikely that Facebook will supplant Twitter. Most of Facebook’s projects fail. Look at that “Metaverse.” How retarded was it to rename the company that, so every time you are mentioned, you are reminded of this massive failure?
It’s not really a very good company. They positioned themselves as the global social media site for morons. It was dumb luck and nepotism.
To some extent, that is true of Elon’s original fortune as well – to be a member of the PayPal Mafia, you basically just had to show up. However, he’s built a lot of successful companies since then. He’s not a retard.
Ultimately, this is going to have to be solved in the Octagon.
Dana White is going to change the Monster logo to the White Monster logo, in honor of our Aryan Warlord, Elon Musk.
