Discussion GETTR The trump administrations alternative to twitter.

So the trump administrations have apparently made a social media alternative called GETTR Archive billing it as an alternative to Big Tech sites. The site, called GETTR, advertised its mission statement as “fighting cancel culture, promoting common sense, defending free speech, challenging social media monopolies, and creating a true marketplace of ideas.” The app is currently in beta form and will be officially launched on July 4 at 10a.m. GETTR is one of the highest-profile projects in a larger ecosystem of pro-MAGA tech and social media platforms that have blossomed on the right, largely fueled by a sense that Big Tech is attempting to silence conservative and pro-Trump ideology from being disseminated online. In recent months, it was widely reported that the Trump team was searching for a platform on which to re-establish his online presence, either by buying a company outright and rebranding it as his exclusive platform, or becoming a featured draw.

The GETTR app first went live on the Google and Apple app stores in mid-June and was most recently updated Wednesday. It’s been downloaded more than one thousand times on each.

A description for GETTR on the app stores calls it a “non-bias social network for people all over the world.” The app is rated “M” for mature, meaning it is recommended for users 17 and older.
The name GETTR was inspired by the words “Getting Together.” Posts will be 777 characters long, the app will host videos up to three minutes in length, and will also be capable of hosting livestreams, the person working on the app said. Headquarters for the app are located in New York.

GETTR’s user interface appears similar to that of Twitter. Initial promotional materials for GETTR on the app stores displayed posts of users celebrating the House of Representatives no longer requiring masks on the floor of the chamber.

Initial trending topics on the app included the hashtags “#trump,” “#virusorigin,” “#nra” and “#unrestrictedbioweapon.” Those tags refer to the newfound and still unproven refrain from Republicans that China created the Covid-19 virus in a lab as a bioweapon.

But the similarities with Twitter don’t end there. GETTR’s app also claims to offer new users the ability to “import copies of your content from Twitter to GETTR.” And evidence on the site indicates that the new platform is also allowing users to import their actual Twitter followers — who somehow end up with GETTR accounts of their own.

For example, Republican Senate candidate Sean Parnell in Pennsylvania, had over 175,000 followers on GETTR as of Thursday afternoon, despite only joining the platform Thursday. His follower count on GETTR is identical to his follower count on Twitter.

The same goes for Murtaugh, Trump’s former 2020 communications director, who had amassed over 220,000 followers on both GETTR and Twitter as of Thursday afternoon.

“Tweets are up to the point you join, it won’t continuously suck them in. The idea is we want people to move from Twitter to Gettr,” said the person involved with the app. The person added that the app does not harvest the users current Twitter followers for the app, and again noted it is in Beta.

Twitter spokespeople declined to comment on whether GETTR violated any of its policies by allowing users to scrape data off its site. A representative for GETTR did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Whether GETTR will succeed is dubious at best. Their last attempt to replicate his twitter feed, a site called “From The Desk of Donald Trump”, was widely derided as nothing more than a blog, barely received any web traffic, and shut down less than a month later. Artical Archive

Now notes the parts I highlighted in red And let's take a look at their terms of service.
  1. GETTR holds freedom of speech as its core value and does not wish to censor your opinions. Nonetheless, you may not post on or transmit through the Service any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, indecent, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, pornographic, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any law, rule or regulation of the laws applicable to you or applicable in the country in which the material is posted. For example, this may include content identified as personal bullying, sexual abuse of a child, attacking any religion or race, or content containing video or depictions of beheadings. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any posting or other UGC (including private messages) from you, or to deny, restrict, suspend or terminate access to all or any part of the Interactive Community at any time, for any or no reason, without prior notice or explanation and without liability.

So no porn no being racist I fail to see any point with this platform what so ever.

Just like Gab, im sure it has no interest in true freedom of speech, artistic freedom or freedom of expression. They just want a place to be biblethumping schizos and not be laughed at.

Naaah, don't trust any of these alternatives. It's gonna be just another echo chamber. And I'm pretty sure they will be against anime-esque art very soon.

Its funny because them going puritan against anime art would probably be good for weebs. Big tech is all leftists and leftists are programmed to do the opposite of anything Trump has his fingerprints on. You could call SJWs that get mad at drawings the same as far right xenophobes on this shitty website; would probably rustle some feathers.

Lefty Furfags are likely still mad at Trump and think spamming sonic porn is somehow going to affect the site.

Tradcucks are the dumbest motherfuckers to walk the planet, and worse than actual full-blown communists because they are one of the main reasons we even have this problem to begin with. Tradcucks don't even understand their own supposed principles (muh private company argument) and just act like monkeys who start chimping out at the sight of an anime girl.

So many millennials grew up hating the right because of these fucking morons, and they swung in the complete opposite direction. I hope anything run by them gets burned to the fucking ground.

I want a Dick Cheney social network where you can either tell users to go fuck themselves or shoot them in the face.

I'll give GETTR this much, at least it's up front that they don't want kids on their platform. (Not that that rating did anything for twitter).

Yup, it's always the same. I actually hope that Amerimutt and Airstrip 1 and Straya governments ban anime, so that the entire thing will be underground again. Real fans will find it, while lazy & incompetent trendjumping normalfags will stay out.

No violent threats were made just old fashioned shitposting, no email was sent nor reason given for the ban.

Welp, that was fast. This just proves @Fennec_fox 's point.

Squeakers under the age of 15 shouldn't even be allowed on the internet. At least 50% of all the retardation that has appeared in the last decade would be gone in an instant. And on top of that, they shouldn't be protected from quote on quote bullying. I am against doxxing and IRL bullying, but I am in full support of trolling like spamming shit that triggers them and just demotivate them so much they fuck off the site. Be it a wokie or a tradcuck squeaker, gas gas gas.

This is why I don't trust conservatives at all, they are just right wing SJWs

Also the site is getting spammed with sonic porn
"SJW classic" as RGE says it. The only thing that they are different from Modern SJWs is that their autistic chimpouts aren't as loud a Modern SJW's. But both sides are fucking retarded and just create echo chambers.
