For whatever it may be worth: I think Danny Clifton, walleye101, and rvsask seem to be thinking most clearly here. I also say this knowing full-well that Tman itself is a social media platform, albeit of a different (and perhaps better?) kind. Speaking against social media on social media is hypocritical, but I'll embrace my own inconsistencies and agree with those three. Most of us would be much better off if we followed in the footsteps of The Mad Farmer and quietly walked away. When "truth" is mediated to us via corporations, politicians, or the masses (big social media seems to be a weird combination of the three), then we are not going to find whatever truth actually exists. Love your neighbor. You can do that without the aid of social media. So if we don't go on a media site or the internet then where do we find this mysterious "truth" you speak of? TV? Radio? Local hardware store? Water cooler at work? I hear people like yourself insinuate we are suckers to big media and big tech. I also hear people like yourself say we should just put our head in the sand. Wonder what would have happened if the revoutionaries of pre 1776 had just ignored what the King and England were doing to them? If they would have just chopped wood, grew food and animals and just kept to themselves? If you choose to not stay informed, that is your choice. However if you choose to stay uninformed, don't call others a sucker for not following you out into the open field.
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

If its wrong for facebook to censor conservative posts, why is it ok for Right Social to censure liberal posts? The truth your looking for bowhunter27295 will have to be decided on by yourself. You may find that your truth changes some if your allowed to see the posts of people you don't agree with. Free speech and free press are good things and should championed. You know there are people who have different views than you so don't be surprised, or offended, when you encounter them. Give them your thoughts and hopefully something to ponder.

Dude I always do that. I said nothing about censoring them. I know I will and can decide what the truth is myself. I asked, if I can't use a social media of any kind to get information, then what should I use? Those who say there is a bunch of junk on the internet are correct. They are also 100% wrong by ignoring there is a bunch of truth on the internet as well. And everyone knows the real truth lies somewhere in the middle. Ignoring stuff and just saying it is a bunch of hooey is purposeful ignorance. It is a choice. Being informed is difficult because you have to do a lot of sifting. If someone choose not to sift, that's fine. Just don't call the sifters stupid.

It's not "right" for either site to censor anyone due to their political views but I imagine that is exactly what will happen on this one and I really can't say I blame Trump. For the past 6 years Trump has watched as all of his supporters were deleted, edited and banned from sites like FB and Twitter if they dared to say anything good about the President. If I was in Trump's shoes it would be tempting to make a site to do the same to them. Is it any different if a trapper gets banned from a anti's website and then makes a website that doesn't allow antis? I DO think the world could use a social media site as popular as FB or Twitter that doesn't censor either side. But I don't think that's what this site of Trump's is going to be... don't think it's what he ever intended it to be.

Same as the MSM and social media sites like FB . Even the browser news sites only allows what they want , anything against their agenda , is blocked and not posted . https://www.prageru.com/

Trump has to make money somehow his empire is collapsing. May or not be true. But I really don't care. He had his money before he had a political office But if he was a career politician like Clintons, Obama, Bidens Pelosi, he would NEVER be in peril of his empire collapsing. He would have added millions to his net worth by earning a gov't salary???.. And yet there is never a cry by the MSM to check their taxes or businesses.

I'm taking the low road on this. (Libs way) No liberal views or opinions. Nothing would make the libs madder and anything that makes them mad makes me happy!!! This is the only way to go. Give them taste of their own medicine.

Trump has to make money somehow his empire is collapsing. Trump, his family and followers are being persecuted by leftists in and out of government. I can't wait to push back.

If I were Trump I would have taken the money spent on this project and made some people disappear. lol persevering lying. the British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, & what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. yet where does this anarchy exist? where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? and can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it's motives. they were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. god forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. the people cannot be all, & always, well informed. the part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive; if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it's natural manure. our Convention has been too much impressed by. . .
