Hosting an app is a weird phrase. Hosting implies they are delivering content when they are only delivering an app, the content is hosted elsewhere.
I thought they already had Truth Social and considerable chunks of Xitter and Faceberk. What's new or different about this, specifically?
I dont give a shit if they are holed up somewhere isolated. I just dont want to be inundated with shitty rightwing memes like I was in 2015.
And?
No realizing that they could just move to Lemmy.
- Truth social is just mastodon. I'd be surprised if there weren't more like that.
- Oh they tried, they got banned and any instance they spun up got defederated.
  Turns out they don't like just each other very much. And those instances did not grow on their own.
- Thank goodness!
  
  You don't have to agree with them. That is the great thing about Lemmy. Lemmy is what the Internet used to be. A free and decentralized place. You should embrace that they use Lemmy.
- They’d get downvoted to oblivion.
Yeah… they’re allowed to do that.
not a big fan of trump,he's unhinged.
giving far right forums an avenue to voice their opinions isn't a bad thing,this is what freedom of speech and expression are...unless it's hate speech,then it should be banned.
- the donald was only ever banned for hate speech
- How do you think they're not hate speech?
  
  as compared to the far left??
- freedom of speech
  yet another complete misunderstanding of what this actually means
  
  freedom of speech doesn't include hate speech,i did make that clear.
  yet another case of bad reading comprehension.
