Current Events > Trump's new Twitter-clone app "Truth" is the most popular app on Apple

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd say I'm surprised there are enough MAGAts with the minimum level of functioning brain cells to grasp how to work an app to drive the download number that high, but then I remembered that a huge amount of those downloads are for trolling.

Godspeed, trolls. Godspeed.

As many idiots there are among Trump supporters, there are equally many idiots among the liberal left.

Cool.

Not what this is about though.

Trump didn't get banned for his conservative opinions. Unless you consider rebellion against the elected branches of government because you're mad you lost a popular vote a core conservative principle.

Yes he did. And he's far from the only one. If you have conservative opinions on LGBTQ for example, you'll get banned both from Twitter and GameFAQs right away. That's because both these platforms have used liberal left values to define what is "true" or not.

This is also the reason why Joe Rogan is so popular. He doesn't censor his guests, which Silicon Valley and the mainstream media hates.

I mean, you're literally ignoring facts and lying on an old alt account you digged out for that explicit purpose.

Nobody gives a shit, stolen account.

Dad noooooo!!!!!

The fact that Trump had to incite an insurrection before he finally got banned sort of works against your point

conservative opinions on LGBTQ

And what are "conservative" opinions on LGBTQ? Like, a bisexual but doesnt like collective bargaining?

Come on DBD, that's not fair.

He also uses it to make terrible gimmick topics about asses.

Anyone who has a "conservative" opinion on LGBTQ is a c***.

Hope that clears things up for you.

The only thing that cleared up is your total ignorance.

Here's how it works: lt's say you have two platforms, one left wing liberal, and one right wing conservative. Both these platforms have a rule: "hate speech not allowed".

However, depending on the actual definition of what hate speech is, the moderation will work like night and day. It's all about the definition, and the people who controls the definition controls the power of internet based public debate.

What are conservative opinions on LGBTQ?

I promise you that any "conservative" opinion on LGBTQ is hate speech.

And thus anyone who holds such an opinion is a c***.

Can't write them here, because they're bannable offenses due to how the leadership of GameFAQ defines what's "offensive".

Come on, man, just call me a slur and save us all the time.

Sounds like conservative opinions on LGBTQ are pretty disgusting. Most platforms don't allow you to denote a subset of humans based on innate characteristics as disgusting.

You're posting on an alt, you probably have like five other accounts. Just grow a spine, own up to your shitty opinions and say what's on your mind. Even if you get banned you'll be back and posting about asses within the hour.

That there victim complex is mighty entertaining, I tell you hwat.

Again, it's all about definitions and values. And it's pretty clear that a lot of people here are left wing liberals, and ignorant enough to believe that their own definitions and values are the center of the universe.

It's pretty disgusting that conservative values are all about calling people slurs for having innate characteristics that make said conservatives go "ewwww, icky!"

I mean I'm pretty sure someone can say 'gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married' and avoid moderation here fine.

So the opinion you're holding back is even more abhorrent than that?

Be a strong, independent individual.

If you had any convictions, you'd defy the oppressive regime of the mod team and call us the best slur you have. You get to belittle a group of people you hate and we get to see you get a finger wagged at you by the mods for your shitty opinions.

A win win.

I'm not going into that discussion here. There's a lot to be said about people's emotions and the difference of being offended contra intent to offend, but GameFAQs is not the place for it.

But if I tell this guy to go fuck himself, I get modded.

Apparently your "super important conservative morals" aren't that important if a fucking GameFAQs moderator is all it takes to frighten you into silence.

Do you really? I thought I saw several such posts recently, unmodded.

Part of me kinda wants to know what all these missing posts are saying, but I'm sure it would just make me angry.

The moderator has the power here. It's his definitions and rules we play by. If you want open discussion without moderators using their own moral compass to deem what's appropriate or not, I would suggest 4chan or NeoGAF.

If you actually had the integrity to stand up for your beliefs that wouldn't matter, coward.

But if you don't stand up to oppressors, they win. Are you sure you want to let the mods win?

If GameFAQs isn't the place for you to express your (terrible) views, then maybe leaving GameFAQs is what's best for everyone.

You won't, though.

You want me to post rule breaking content to make me banned, stop using such obvious bait. At least put some effort into it.

Also, every board has its own culture, which is fostered by the site owners and the spread by group pressure (if a lot of people have a certain opinion, other people will adapt to it).

GameFAQS, Resetera and IGN are very left wing liberal, while 4chan and NeoGAF are very right wing conservative. Take your pick.

So a place where people constantly use slurs and purposefully offensive content for humor and another place that got infested with alt-righters after the old users left the site when the founder was accused of being a creep who commits sexual assault? Who used to have strict moderation before that happened?

If those are your paragons it's pretty unavoidable that you have some warped perspectives.

Not to mention you can post almost any dogshit opinion here as long as you aren't purposefully being hostile to groups of people. So why shouldn't you be silenced? I would rather gay people be welcome here than bigots.

Ain't my fault your opinions are from 1843, maybe pull your head out of your ass and you won't have to worry about the BIG BAD MODDIEWODDIES

A lot of cowardice ITT.

Tagging as coward.

Slurs and offensive content is part of freedom of speech. But if you have the mentality that no one must be offended, then you start to ban opinions and speech because somewhere in the world, someone who couldn't control her emotions was offended.

And yes, old NeoGAF was like Restera, in that they banned everything and everyone who didn't align with their opinions. Then after the old users left, NeoGAF actually got a good amount of acceptance for different opinions.

@Horungen

From what I have seen conservative opinions on LGBTQ+ is that it is wrong, an abomination to God and "natural law," and they are all secretly perverts waiting to molest women and children. Let me know if I have missed anything or feel free to correct me.

This post is also an open invitation to report to see if it really gets modded like Horungen believes it will be.

You have missed a lot, but I'm not going into that discussion here.

Didn't they literally just deploy the source code from Twitter though? Because Trump was crying about it not being ready yet lol. There is no possible way they aren't in violation of Twitter's open source license. It's literally just Twitter.

Just in case anyone cares I don't actually believe anything I posted in my previous post just trying to show that conservative opinions can be talked about without moderation.

Because the definitions of what actually is offensive depends a lot on the site owners.
