Fed up Joe Rogan joins GETTR after Twitter bans Dr. Robert Malone, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Podcast host Joe Rogan announced his move to the free speech-alternative social media platform GETTR on Sunday after Twitter had banned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as well as Dr. Robert Malone, a founding researcher of mRNA vaccine technology.

"Just in case s*** over at Twitter gets even dumber, I’m here now as well. Rejoice!" Rogan wrote on GETTR.

"GETTR" trended on Twitter on Sunday as users reacted to Rogan's announcement.

Why not Gab?
Gab is completely "off" the standard grid. I'm going to assume Gettr is not.

I know. I feel sorry for the good people at GAB who did it when nobody else would. I think the reason they languish is due to timing. Being first didn't pay off. Initially, it was difficult pulling people away from twitter because twitter had the amount of traffic necessary for hot political debate, people were used to using it, had followers and accounts they followed. So, GAB kind of stagnated. Then came Parler and the big $#@!storm over that and a huge wave of people wanting to go elsewhere and up pops a few more such platforms and people acting like no twitter alternative was out there when GAB was there and fought hard against those (ADL) who wanted them destroyed. Is that a drag or what?

Exactly, I'm scratching my head over this sudden move to Gettr. It's funny you say all of this because while Parler was getting all of the attention, Gab was sitting there in the corner saying "hey, I'm ready to go over here and we're truly free speech."

I mean Gab is looking good to me for any type of social media "needs" right now. I have no idea what this Gettr is about but if it's allowed on the app store or the google store, they're already neutered.

Why do people keep falling for the same tricks? Why is Rogan moving to Gettr and not Gab? Asking that again for the conversation, not back at you.

I never thought Rogan was all that red pilled and never understood his his popularity. His consciousness seems to be improving, though. If he was really all that, he would have gone to GAB.

It is the app that was associated with the Trump administration. Yes, they are in the app stores. Has some signs of being controlled opposition. The Trump GOP mirror image of Twitter.

Gettr (stylized GETTR) is a social media platform and microblogging site targeted to American conservatives.[5][6][7] It was founded by Jason Miller, a former Donald Trump aide and spokesman being officially launched on July 4, 2021.
...
The platform experienced issues shortly after launch, including internet trolls posting content that violated the terms of service, users flooding it with pornography, and the brief hacking of some high-profile accounts.
...
In June 2021, it was reported that Miller had left Trump's team to become CEO of a tech startup.[12][27] A beta version of Gettr launched on July 1, 2021, after being added to the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store in mid-June.[13] The platform can also be accessed via the web.[28] Gettr officially launched on July 4, 2021.[8][29] Miller is CEO,[8] and former Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh is a media affairs consultant for the company.[30] Miller said of his motivations for creating the site, "People were being de-platformed and realizing that the tech giants, so to speak, had [decided] to ally themselves with the more left-of-centre folks, who want to silence people all over".[31]

Gettr is a privately held company.[32] Miller has said the company was financed by a "consortium of international investors" including a foundation tied to Guo Wengui, a Chinese businessman and dissident[33] with connections to former Trump strategist Steve Bannon and Mar-a-Lago.[30][2] Guo has said he is an adviser to the platform.[2] Media sites tied to Guo have suggested that the platform and its logo were his ideas, though Miller has downplayed the connections.[34] The Daily Beast reported that Gettr was a retooled version of Guo's Chinese internet app, Getome, created by Guo's Chainnov, which Miller confirmed.[30] Getome accounts were wiped before relaunching as Gettr.[35] Miller has said that Guo did not invest money directly and has no official authority within Gettr.

Is Gab the preferred alternative to Twitter? Is anyone using Parler anymore?

[nobody's_hero]

I was talking to my mother today about this and she brought up that there's just too many alternatives. She has about 5 or six different alt-social-media apps on her phone. Telegram, Gettr, Rumble, Parler (if that's even still a thing), a few others I'm forgetting.

She says it would be nice if people could consolidate around one instead of everyone running off into dozens of different directions, but no one's ever blamed conservatives for being organized.

IIRC, they smeared Gab, and literally shut down Parler. That makes it hard to organize around one platform. And that is intentional from the DNC-media-internet-industrial complex.

[Swordsmyth]

The fact that @Gettr is choosing to go to war with Gab instead of Google, Apple, Facebook, etc. says everything you need to know about them. They’ve bent their knee and kissed the feet of their owners.

‘Democracy Wins’: GETTR Comms Director Celebrated Biden Victory on Jan 6

For whatever reason, people chose not to migrate to a social media platform whose most famous users were nazis and mass murderers. It's a mystery, really.


(Also, Gab bans people and removes content, so I'm not sure how you can label it as more or less free speech than alternatives.)

[Okie RP fan]

Is Gab the preferred alternative to Twitter? Is anyone using Parler anymore?

I think it became the alternative by default once Parler was removed. People are leaving Twitter if they aren't being shadowbanned or outright banned, to my knowledge. I know some non-leftist people are staying on so they can keep up with the news from "that side" and they don't want to go into an echo chamber. I respect that, but it's already an echo chamber when you consider neither side listens to what the other says anymore.

I think these are fair points to be honest, but we're also seeing the market at play. I'd imagine in the longer term we may see consolidation or shutdowns if traffic isn't enough. I believe we just need to let these ride out. People will end up figuring out which platforms they prefer the most and stick with them.

Gab was removed from all app stores and was smeared pretty hard as I recall. Ever since Torba took everything offline and runs everything on its own system, the attack dogs don't have much to run on other than the nonsense attempted below VV

Why are you even on here? The last like 5 interactions you and I have had show everyone how much of a leftist you really are.

Why is Count still allowed on here ?!

I'm not sure, but his/her past arguments with me all come from what I'd label a leftist stance. I'd be fine with it about 5 years ago but now, I don't have time for it. His/her posts are like coming from the contrarian in the back of the class who thinks he's smarter than everyone else. I'm not sure what his/her angle is at this point but I guess I'll use the ignore function from now on if it starts to bother me.

Next up: word games with TheCount!


It's quite clear you're attacking Gab and insinuating they're murderers and evil "nazis."
Do you know who else uses the term nazi so nonchalantly and out of context? Leftists.

Ok, maybe you can prove some Gab users are "nazis." And there aren't any (or weren't any) on Twitter, FB, etc.? Just Gab, right? And because Gab may still ban some users, they're automatically the same as other social media companies and their policies?

Your specialty seems to be coming in and dumping some leftarian take in many of these threads, at least from my point of view. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but there's a trend.

[TheCount]

It's quite clear you're attacking Gab and insinuating they're murderers and evil "nazis."

No, I said that, at the time, its most famous users were nazis and mass murderers.


Do you disagree? Is that not what Gab was most famous for when it started?

It's now less famous for those things... because they started banning nazis. Which kind of ruins the whole 'muh free-est of speech-es' thing.

It is good to have people here that will challenge those living blinded in their little bubble and maybe cause people to question themselves. Otherwise it would be an echo chamber here of ignorance.

Some here may not like what TheCount said above here but as far as normies go that is they way some see it.

I see Parler mentioned in this thread a few times. I have no desire to enrich Bongino that is co-owner of Parler.

I briefly spoke to him at Fox News some years back and he wanted to throw down with me because he was showed by a person I shall not name here one of my posts in this forum related to police abuse. He confronted me being sure to mention the fact he was former NYPD and how dare I call out civil rights abuses of the NYPD or their assistance and coverup of truly heinous crimes committed against me in NYC by out of jurisdiction police officers who were being paid to silence me.

Bongino stands against everything we believe in this forum as far as civil rights and police abuse unless people want to simply game one up on the Dems in the news cycle for a day.

So that is what I think of Parler. Carry on.

Well, I hope they can figure it out soon. Sharing stuff is a pain right now.

"I have information you need to see."

"Okay, send it on xxxx."

"You don't have an xxxx account? Do you use yyyy?"

"Oh, no, sorry, I don't have zzzz."

"Meh, I'll just text you a link."

It's a shame that things like mastodon didn't catch on more broadly. I don't like the idea of a platform with an explicit political goal.
