There’s a difference between a coder and a script kiddie.

Key personnel are incompetent, **they didn’t know how to adjust the word filter to allow Roger Stone to post** (or it’s their passive/aggressive way of ghosting him), and they don’t have the personnel to verify accounts. Truth Social is a fot bloated worm just waiting to be raped and pillaged.

I think that’s happening at the molecular level, with the words “truth” and “Roger Stone” appearing in proximity. Kinda like crooks splashed with holy water.

So the drones at Truth Social are all playing whack-a-mole with people who choose funny user names? And that takes so long that the app is nonfunctional weeks after launch? Because that would be really funny.

Well they deserve it. An infinite number of monkeys, given enough time, should eventually bang out a working app.

I’d think the monkeys would get a less buggy app out faster than these grifters. And with a lot less shit flinging.

Although nobody would notice it had been hacked. It’s hack-resistant in the same way that a bag of dog poop is theft-resistant.

Speaking of below the belt: self collected with his own shoes:

Nobody’s insulting monkeys here. We’re saying that Trump’s primates can’t get the job done, but monkeys can.

Above there is a link to an article about how the job is already done.

“Trump Social” or whatever already served its primary purpose, it would be nice if we all could stop letting it serve its secondary purpose as another item in an endless string of distractions.

He was also representing several other right-wing organizations and individuals of that ilk. Now they all have to find new lawyers, I gather.

Anyone remember the LGB Coin? It seems like that grift happened years ago, but it was only a few months.

Back in January, I was highly amused at what a transparent grift it was……exchange your real money for worthless fake money and PWN THE LIBS!

The thread has long been locked, but here’s my post

You know those collectible coins, those overpriced tacky gold or platinum clad coins adorned with pictures of Elvis or Trump or some other fanboy of the gullible? That was a pretty good grift, but the grifters had to actually expend some effort and a small fraction of their haul to produce and ship cheap POS coin. But the LGB coin has solved that problem for the grifters, because it’s a virtual colle…

Well, apparently a few of the marks are butthurt that they didn’t become fabulously wealthy by pwning the libs, so they’ve filed a class action lawsuit.
