"Lettuce Speak Freely"

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 101 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?

[–] randompasta@lemmy.today 14 points 1 month ago

Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.

Every "free speech" platform is, in reality, a "speech I like" platform.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That doesn't really cover it though. I mean look at all the people Musk has banned that have nothing to do with hate speech.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago

Even more a 'i want to say hateful stuff and not be held accountable for my own stupidity' platform.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 64 points 1 month ago

You'll need to make new account every 49 days

Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad

[–] g0ndii@feddit.org 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Hasn‘t she embarrassed herself enough by now?

[–] Cyclist@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Haven't you heard? She isn't the type to give up.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Aren't there enough right wing echo bunkers at this point?

Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.

[–] briever@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She's a moron, always has been - but who is the money behind her?

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

I'm sure if you follow the paper trail enough it'll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.

It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.

[–] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 month ago

Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

Time to start live streaming a lettuce again to as the traditional Liz Truss standard for how long her projects last...

[–] passwordforgetter@lemmy.nz 12 points 1 month ago

There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America's 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I'm so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Oh good, yet another shitty twitter clone.

I don't get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just fork mastodon and defederate from all other instances

[–] inconel@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Truth social is mastodon fork so following the suit is possible. On my masto feed someone posted its link as reference and I was surprised thay my masto client handled it as just like one of the instance

True embarrassment to the UK.

[–] BarrierWithAshes@fedia.io 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fully expecting this to be like Truth Social, based off fediverse software with no attribution and no federation.

Hey, I've seen this one before.

[–] Wimster@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 month ago

There we go again. Another Trump bitch trying to please the orange morron. Maybe she can share a bed with Nigel Farage.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

Feel like I've seen this one before

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

Cheese markets

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 month ago

You mean colossal failure Liz truss who couldn't outlast a head of lettuce?

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

Another badly executed neoliberal neocon shithole predicated on open-source tech and standards yay!

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lemme guess, they're gonna launch a private Mastodon server.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

I hope not.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Just like every other supposed "free speech" platform, eh? How'd that all work out?

[–] Barking@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

So...we will all be making accounts to post photos of our lettuces?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

A worthy successor to 4chan.

[–] helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

Her parents are so disappointed.

[–] CrowyTech@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

I think I'll join the platform that the lettuce launches, it'll likely last longer

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Stupid cunt.

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I remember Lizz Truss. For a short time I could winge about the conservative party to cab drivers without any fear that they would agree with them.

One of the good things about the UK is Trump style behaviour does not work here for long. Unfortunately it's more of an objection to incompetence than bigotry but that's life

[–] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Didn't that Trump style behavior convince you guys to leave the EU?

This clown cannot get over the fact that she's a complete and utter failure in almost all ways a human being can be. And she's a despicable slug, too.

[–] Roundeyegweilo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

It wasn't bad enough she crashed the UK's economy? Damn son, crack on with your dumb ass.
