    Any web site or concept that feels the need to so prominently portray the word “truth” as part of its branding is obviously promoting lies.

      The main newspaper in Soviet was «Правда», “Truth”. History likes repeating itself in different ways.

        “An old lady goes to buy a newspaper, but she forgot which newspaper she wants to buy. So, the newsman says, ‘Would you like to buy Pravda?’ which means, in Russian, ‘truth.’ And the old lady says ‘no, no, it’s not pravda, there is no pravda in Pravda, no truth in Truth.’ And the newsman says, ‘would you like to buy Isvestia?’, which means ‘news’ in Russian. And the old lady says, ‘No, no, not Isvestia, there is no isvestia in Isvestia, no news in News. Give me the Soviet Sport.’”

      Interesting that Trump reposted this:

      It’s so clear that they aren’t releasing the files because Trump’s name is in there. That’s why they teased and didn’t actually release them earlier - it really pissed off their Qanon followers at the time. But now they’ve constructed into some 4D chess where that ploy was some kind of bait for the master plan to expose Clinton or something.

      There is no truth on truth social.

      That is exactly what 1984 is about and why it is such a dystopian novel.

      The Ministry of Peace is their military, the Ministry of Love is their police state, the Ministry of Plenty rations food and supplies, and the Ministry of Truth is their propaganda machine.

      The name contradicts their actions. Just like it does with TACOs propaganda machine.

      We have a newspaper here in Italy called “La Verità”, which translates as The Truth, and that basically confirms your theory.

      People wanting to watch Regina George and Space Karen’s messy break up. Everyone wants to see who’s getting custody of little JD.

    I might as well ask here, since I’ve been wondering for awhile: is it even possible Trump thinks that painted-ham, death-mask-on-a-flatbed-scanner picture looks good?

      You’re asking a man who painted himself orange for a Bengals game in the 80s and decided that’s how he wanted to look for the rest of his life?

    Maybe they should fix it and push changes upstream to Mastodon.

      I can’t imagine Mastodon wanting any changes Truth Social has to offer.

        Isn’t that the truth. (pun intended)
