I joined a few days ago. It does feel odd - and refreshing - to be able to post certain images without fear of being reported. For the moment, at least.

I realise that there are issues with the current political leanings of certain major inhabitants of the space (From my perspective, that is), and also more serious allegations about the CEO Jason Miller, but for the time being, it is a valuable option to the repressive, stifled and authoritarian atmosphere of Twitter.

Steve Bannon... 🤔. I’ll take a look but....

Yeah, I know... But so far I have only really seen posts from people I follow and 'know'.

But sure, I am cautious, I assure you.

I followed him and a bunch of other similar folk. I want to hear what they are saying even if I disagree with it profoundly almost all of the time.

It feels odd posting about human biology on Gettr without fear of another suspension. I'm still catching myself defaulting to ambiguous wording, so no doubt Twitter conditioning works!

Yep - the Twitter-censor takes some time to brush off the shoulder, doesn't it? Am I following you over on Gettr (same name there as her and Twitter)?

Not on twitter anymore. We are mutual on Gettr, but I'm @BishopBragg.

Do Flake choc bars still flake or did they take the crumbliest flakiness enjoyment out of them because they were too crumbly & flakey & left melted bits everywhere?

I've been back and forth between the two as folk move over. I'm not sure if it's my imagination but there seems to be more blunt stuff getting said on Twitter now - surely they must calm down their moderation unless they want to be a snowflakes only service.

'Snowflakes only'. Love that. That could be a meme!

Twitter - smelling salt snowflakes

Gettr - GCs shouting "male" "female" "penis" "vagina" like Father Jack at primary school

I am still a dual citizen on twitter/gettr but I am now getting more bolshie on twitter. Its like come and have a go if you think you're hard enough twitter!

I don't swear and I don't like being mean … I have just lost so many accounts for talking about biology!

Throw me off now and I will never darken twitters doorstep again!

ps the Guardian newspaper is the pits...I wrote "I thinking tweaking is gross" and it got deleted.

Expand full comment

Is it tweaking (using stimulants) or twerking you find gross? Personally, I find them both gross, but am fascinated as to why your comment was deleted. 🤔

‘Booty is part of Blackness!’ Bobby Rush on blues, dirty dancing and being the funkiest man alive

It was in reply to this article...the comments were closed down soon after.!

interesting about the tweaking (using stimulants)...

It’s like ‘hearing’ that huge collective sigh, freedom of speech, so far. I’m enjoying following those I knew, and those I didn’t. I’m like an excited child, because some followed me first 😂

A few TRA’s but they won’t get the reactions they’ve had before, thank goodness.

It’s very freeing to be on Gettr! I don’t say that much on Twitter for the usual reasons. Also some amazing people who don’t follow me on Twitter follow me over there which is awesome! Hopefully they will introduce direct messaging soon too. I’m @ proseccosaurus so please come and find me ☺️

I've also joined. But it now means keeping up with two platforms: I can only badger MPs and ministers on Twitter. But I am glad that you are able to speak freely now, Graham.

Please give more contacts on Gettr. Thank you!

Wooo! Thanks for the extra links to legends like Holly and Megan! Added! :D

Been there a few days now testing the water and so far, so very good. It's true that most there so far are on the right-er end of the political spectrum but centre and left people are showing up in much bigger numbers all the time. Substantial GC presence there now.
