↳ In-reply-to » If Trump really truly wants a Social Media where even the likes of his views and ideals won't get him banned, he should fund Yarn.social 😅 Of course he won't like it because it doesn't mean anyone will follow him or like him or believe in whatever ideals he wants to pedal. It just won't be the platform for his soapbox 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s another thing I find interesting. He could have simply funded Gab. They love him over there. They too are using a fork of Mastodon I believe, except legally.

So to create his own must be about having total control over it.

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com Yeah that’s exactly right. Gab.social is using Mastodon. The only other thing I know about Gab is they got themselves banned internally at the Mastodon codebase level as a hardcoded ban (I don’t recall why or the details).

But yeah I agree with you, it must be about having total control. Plus if you’re just going to use your “Users” as your “Product” this is a recipe for disaster 🤦‍♂️
