You know you're a pariah when

you've been banned from just about every platform out there. DGD told me that trump can't even get on Pinterest. I found a list of where he's banned. So far the only places he has left to go are Parler and Gab that are still available on Apple.

Darn. I was hoping to get his copycat recipe for Big Macs.

Special Sauce is made by McCormick Spice. I'll get you the recipe.   I've seen Special Sauce bottles in the grocery store.

I think there must be some law enforcement agency encouraging them all to do this. Finally someone is taking his threats of overthrowing the government seriously.

[laterbloomer]

Apparently Amazon and Google have kicked Parler off their service. There is an organized plan happening to cut off MAGA communication. As far as I'm concerned this is awesome. I know we aren't being told all the behind the scenes stuff. When someone writes the book about this I'm buying it.

Can the MAGAts start their own platform?

Probably.  The internet is a big, wide open space.

Why not? This is America! They could start with the $250+million Trump has gritted from his cult. A bit of seed capital.

I mean, that's sort of what parler is.

[seriousthistime]

So then this would be a bit like Whack-A-Mole.

How likely is it that they will go to the trouble of starting up their own ISP, including getting an ISP license? They surely can raise the money, but building it can't be easy, not to mention the time involved.

Wouldn't they just need to find a new web hosting provider?

I guess I should admit how little I know about the magical part of the internet. 🤔

[Tennesseer]

trumpers are also moving to a social media site called Gab.

[Deleted]

thyme4change It's not likely they can just find another site to host them. They're already being avoided like the plague. Tennesseer It's only a matter of time before Gab is shut down by whomever hosts them, too.

ETA: Come to think about it, if one (or some) of their number already have their own networks/their own servers... As deranged as they are, they'd certainly speak up and volunteer their services. Maybe not volunteer, maybe charge an arm and a leg because they can.

DD1 and I were talking the other day about platforms that might be out on the dark web that none of us know about.

Forgot all about the dark web. I bet it's abuzz with activity, and I bet the FBI is all over it like white on rice.

What scares me is that the hillbillies storming the capital are not the brains of the operation. There are a bunch of rich guys that are just as committed. just not as vocal or outright lying. Many of them are sitting in your Congress.

not sure about many, but certainly some.

we can start with Josh Hawley, and that lunatic rep that was actually caught on camera.

My personal credo for my 29 years as a mortgage broker was ‘tell the truth, it’s easier to remember’. Can’t remember where I borrowed that from but one of my best realtors mentioned that on her web page...that I was always truthful about everything in the process.

what if you never actually know the truth?

what do you remember, then?

Whatever seemed to be the truth. This was business not philosophical meanderings.

[djAdvocate]

sorry. i like the adage, but most of these people would not know the truth if they were drowning in it.

this was really driven home to me recently when i heard that some people DYING OF COVID were heard to say that they still believe it is a hoax ON THEIR DEATH BEDS. what level of delusion is that? i can't even fathom it, honestly.

this is giving me a whole new appreciation of what happened in Jonestown. i never understood it as well as i do now.

I can't find the article - but it seems some of the mob where live streaming themselves and making money doing it (thru some streaming service).    

there's plenty of other sites to host these people - weather those sites can handle hundreds of thousands of people is another story.   

Since some of the people at the insurrection appear to be wealthy (as in business owners with time on their hands to participate in these kinds of things) I'm guessing there are people involved with the money and or knowledge and or 'infrastructure/servers' to set up their own MAGA virtual world.
