"Lettuce Speak Freely"

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 103 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?

[–] randompasta@lemmy.today 14 points 1 year ago

Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.

Every "free speech" platform is, in reality, a "speech I like" platform.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That doesn't really cover it though. I mean look at all the people Musk has banned that have nothing to do with hate speech.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

Even more a 'i want to say hateful stuff and not be held accountable for my own stupidity' platform.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year ago

You'll need to make new account every 49 days

Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad

[–] g0ndii@feddit.org 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hasn‘t she embarrassed herself enough by now?

[–] Cyclist@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Haven't you heard? She isn't the type to give up.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Aren't there enough right wing echo bunkers at this point?

So, do you guys think that her social media platform will last longer or less than a piece of lettuce?

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A lettuce probably has more leaves than her platform will have users.

She's a moron, always has been - but who is the money behind her?

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago

I'm sure if you follow the paper trail enough it'll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.

It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago

Time to start live streaming a lettuce again to as the traditional Liz Truss standard for how long her projects last...

[–] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 year ago

Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

So it will shut down in a week as well?

[–] passwordforgetter 11 points 1 year ago

There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America's 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I'm so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.

[–] Given2fly@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

True embarrassment to the UK.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Oh good, yet another shitty twitter clone.

I don't get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just roll mastodon and defederate from all other instances

Feel like I've seen this one before

[–] Wimster@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 year ago

There we go again. Another Trump bitch trying to please the orange morron. Maybe she can share a bed with Nigel Farage.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Hey, I've seen this one before.

[–] BarrierWithAshes@fedia.io 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fully expecting this to be like Truth Social, based off fediverse software with no attribution and no federation.

She even talks like a Trump. Is it contagious?

You mean colossal failure Liz truss who couldn't outlast a head of lettuce?

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Cheese markets

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemme guess, they're gonna launch a private Mastodon server.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

I hope not.

[–] Barking@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

So...we will all be making accounts to post photos of our lettuces?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 1 year ago

A worthy successor to 4chan.

[–] helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Her parents are so disappointed.

Just like every other supposed "free speech" platform, eh? How'd that all work out?

[–] CrowyTech@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I think I'll join the platform that the lettuce launches, it'll likely last longer

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember Lizz Truss. For a short time I could winge about the conservative party to cab drivers without any fear that they would agree with them.

One of the good things about the UK is Trump style behaviour does not work here for long. Unfortunately it's more of an objection to incompetence than bigotry but that's life

[–] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Didn't that Trump style behavior convince you guys to leave the EU?

Stupid cunt.

[–] Global_Liberty@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I sincerely hope this is the last time I read about Liz Truss and she just disappears into the sands of history.

This clown cannot get over the fact that she's a complete and utter failure in almost all ways a human being can be. And she's a despicable slug, too.
