Biden Campaign Joins Truth Social to Troll Trump: ‘Converts Welcome!’
Biden Campaign Joins Truth Social to Troll Trump: ‘Converts Welcome!’
The Biden campaign has joined Truth Social, the social media company founded by Donald Trump, to troll Biden's once and likely future general election opponent.
“We just joined Truth Social, mostly because we thought it would be very funny,” it explained. “Follow us there for truths and retruths or whatever they call them.”
This is a hilariously big-dick move. Biden gets to put his agenda right in conservatives faces and all the yelling they will do in the comments are just yelling into the echo chamber but there's a non-zero chance that at least one person changes their mind from it which is a total win for almost no effort.
171Bonus: there will be credible threats to Biden, which means secret service get to enjoy enrichment activities.
84I like the idea of Secret Service enrichment activities being exactly like dog enrichment. They just release a bunch of Government mooks into a room with some of those doggie treats puzzles, but I stead of beggin strips, it's full of domestic terrorists addresses.
9The credible threats were coming from inside the house....
Sorta /s

Big dick move against the guy with small hands!
25Well that'll just make it look even bigger.

Watch how quickly the platform known for its “fReEdUm oF sPeEcH” bans any and all posts by Biden’s campaign.
161This goes all the way back to the_donald. To them, censorship does not exist if you scream "free speach" as loud as possible.

Dark Brandon’s about to drop some truths.
113Hope he post videos doing pushups shirtless.
26Remember when Donnie shared his physician's report that said he was a man whose "physical strength and stamina are extraordinary"?
20To be honest, physical virility isn't that important to me.
The only reason that aspect matters to me re:trump is that he claims to be healthy and of certain dimensions, but clearly isn't.
No matter what your physical self is, as long as you don't pretend to be fuckin superman, you can have my vote if I can get on board with your policies.

I love that their first posts are just highlight reels of Trump saying dumb shit and other Republicans absolutely trashing him.
91Literally endorsing the opposition’s propaganda platform is bold as it gets now I guess
56They'll be banned within the next week.
57Which is exactly what they want. If they can get trump to ban them they’ll easily show that they are a bunch of snowflakes who are full of shit when they talk about free speech.
81I’m tempted to sign up there now.

About as good of a endorsement as taking the stage at a Trump rally and laughing into the mic indefinitely while they boo. That is to say, it makes a fun story but it's not exactly a endorsement.
8I mean, I’ve already seen comments alleging users here joining to watch, which is bringing traffic and engagement so the platform is being fed. That’s really all I’m on about, it’s minute but it’s all I thought of when I saw this.

Couple of hours ago I saw video on yt with title "Biden joins Truth Social. THEY ARE DESPERATE" I didn't watch the video so idk what was acually said. Some years ago I watched conservative content. Even though I dont watch it at all anymore I still sometimes get shit like this in my homepage.
38Yup, I watched part of a Tim Cast (never heard of him before the yt recommendation, nor consumed any similar content previously) video, a lot of it was unhinged and I clicked out quickly with the ramping hatred intensity and rage baiting.
It took like a year for yt to stop recommending me similar far alt-right bullshit because I watched maybe five or ten minutes of a Tim Cast video
12You don't have to click on a far-right video. You can also get them when you click on a progressive video, or a medical video, or a gaming video.
When Amazon first introduced their "People who liked X also liked Y" feature, it was hilariously easy to manipulate. You could just spam links back and forth and within a few minutes, "People who liked The King James Bible also like A Hand in the Bush: The Lost Art of Vaginal Fisting".
It didn't take too long for them to put a stop to it but decades later, are we actually sure content suggestion algorithms are any better at withstanding manipulation?
The far-right aren't exactly good people so I doubt they're saying "Sure, I openly celebrate mass shooters that target minorities but I draw the line at using sleazy techniques manipulate content suggestions".
14I have a similar problem from watching firearm content on YouTube. YouTube just assumes I love right wing media because I'm interested in guns.

Lol does this mean it's okay to join the platform ironically? Because I am ready for the trolling!
21Don't. It still gives them active users. One account is fine. If we all start doing it then they get to show actual growth. Investors don't care if it's ironic.
56I'm actually happy to see this: The pushing of conservatives off silicon-valley platforms is magnifying the polarization in America because people went from algorithmic filter bubbles to true information bubbles.

Could potentially extend the life of this shit platform.
6It doesn't matter. Nothing matters. It's social media. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that any of it means a damn. It's not real.
6Nothing matters, you’re right. Everything that happens doesn’t matter after enough time . That’s irrelevant though and if you don’t want to discuss meaningless things then don’t post.
1Yeah, but it's like money. It's all made up bs, but it does affect people's lives.
1But it does mean a damn. Maybe not to you... But it means a lot to some people. Also, I'm not sure how any informed person can say "it doesn't matter" post Cambridge Analytica.

Could also potentially shorten it.

I'm really happy to see this: The pushing of conservatives off silicon-valley platforms is magnifying the polarization in America because people went from algorithmic filter bubbles to true information bubbles. The Internet is very much bifurcated into conservative and liberal echo chambers. It's a small step but it's a step.
-13Wait, hold on a sec, what do they mean "Bidens likely opponent"? You mean to tell my, the Dems are gonna go with Biden again? I thought it was a one time thing, because they didn't have anyone else, and that in four years they'll find someone.
-14It's a shame that the best Democrat candidate for 2024 is an eighty year old man. Not saying he is senile or whatever, but why 80? Can't even wrap my head around this shit.
11I sincerely wish there was an age limit on becoming the president. Admittedly, Biden himself is doing pretty well for an 80-year-old man, but people that old will always have outdated opinions and politics.

That would have been the case had Trump faded away at all. Unfortunately, he has as much support as he ever did. Now the logic is that the person most likely to defeat Trump is the person who has already defeated him once before.

This is dumb. Don't stoop to his level. This is why America is so divided.
-19You gotta do more reading, homie. Joining a social media site is hardly what divided America haha
11this isn't why America is divided what lol. It's divided because of misinformation and an education system that is totally failed so critical thinking is fucked.
It's divided because people believe every whacked out conspiracy theory and even policy makers make policy on said conspiracies.
It's divided because the super wealthy want to remain in power and it's easy for them since money is allowed in politics.
Biden joining Truth Social is just plain comedy.
