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.

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.

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.

Sounds like something a nazi would say.

And if they wanted their own little naziverse on the fediverse nobody could stop them, but compared to every other social media platform most of lemmy deplatformed and banned nazis, while they get privileged status on Facebook or Twitter.
