"Lettuce Speak Freely"

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 100 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] randompasta@lemmy.today 13 points 2 weeks ago

Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.

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

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 38 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

[-] dajoho@sh.itjust.works 54 points 2 weeks ago

LettuceConnect

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

[-] g0ndii@feddit.org 31 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hasn‘t she embarrassed herself enough by now?

[-] Cyclist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] briever@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 2 weeks ago

Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago

So it will shut down in a week as well?

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[-] inconel@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Truth social is mastodon fork so following the suit is possible. On my masto feed someone posted its link as reference and I was surprised thay my masto client handled it as just like one of the instance

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.

[-] BarrierWithAshes@fedia.io 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Given2fly@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago

True embarrassment to the UK.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

Feel like I've seen this one before

[-] Wimster@lemmy.wtf 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] hector@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

Another badly executed neoliberal neocon shithole predicated on open-source tech and standards yay!

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, I've seen this one before.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

She even talks like a Trump. Is it contagious?

[-] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Something is, since conservatives appear to be the same organization operating globally now.

But I really think they're opportunists mostly just dumbly copy catting each other with se exceptions.

Mind virus.

[-] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Cheese markets

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] CrowyTech@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Barking@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago

I hope not.

[-] helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

Her parents are so disappointed.

[-] Wazowski@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Stupid cunt.

[-] TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

A worthy successor to 4chan.

[-] Global_Liberty@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, she’s gonna get mentioned everytime the shortest PMship did the worst damage ever…ratio’d of course.

[-] SnotFlickerman 4 points 2 weeks ago

Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.

[-] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They do for the freedom of expression, as do most EU countries:

Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.

The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

[-] SnotFlickerman 3 points 2 weeks ago

We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn't was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn't use the "free speech" canard.

[-] latenightnoir 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, sod off, Liz...
