I genuinely appreciate that Spoutible was never swept up in the hype train because fads tend to die quickly. Without believers in your vision, persuading others to embrace it becomes challenging. Spoutible's core users believe in our mission to create a social media environment free from toxicity.

So, what is my point? The next Twitter will not emerge through hype. We often forget why Twitter became Twitter in the first place. For any platform to endure, it must first establish a foundation of devoted users and grow organically. The platform's culture ultimately determines its destiny.

Then we introduced Spoutible. Unlike its predecessors, Spoutible never experienced a surge of hype or lofty expectations as the ultimate Twitter replacement. Nevertheless, we had a dedicated group of supporters, and our user base grew organically. We had periodic surges, but never succumbed to hype.

For nearly a year, we have observed individuals chasing after the next Twitter high. Initially, Mastodon seemed to be the promising choice. However, the initial excitement quickly faded. Then came Post News, which garnered significant attention from journalists who claimed it would be hard to beat.

If you have an account on POST NEWS, please extend an invitation to Spoutible. To the Spoutible helpers, expect new accounts to ask questions. We are here with open arms.

This is so scary. No restrictions, no guidelines, no laws in place. Just the $$$ as a driving force. It's giving don't believe your lying eyes personification! It doesn't take a genius to see how dangerous this new technology will become. Not to mention exploitation of artists, smear campaigns etc

Microsoft introduced VASA-1. You can turn one photo and one piece of audio into a realistic deepfake. Why would Microsoft do this?

The point of this exercise is to show how easy it is to fake an image or a video, and we need legislation to address deepfakes and AI-generated / AI-altered photos because it will only get worse from here.

I've been sharing the following thoughts privately with friends and family for several weeks, but I've chosen to speak publicly now because pundits are out of control. Before I begin, it's crucial to emphasize that complacency is not an option, and the importance of voting remains paramount.

VP Kamala Harris will make a GREAT President, when her turn comes. I’m turning this into a mantra to make it come true. And an affirmation. And a needle pointed pillow. And a cross stitch. What are you doing?

So the next time someone tries to suggest Biden is too old and/or VP Harris isn't qualified, tell the unserious nincompoop to fuck off because they are more worried about a Black woman in the Oval Office than the fate of our country.

Should anything happen to President Biden, VP Harris would be one of the most qualified people in U.S. history to ascend to the highest office. We have systems in place to ensure a smooth transition, and America will continue on. Eight U.S. presidents died while in office; we are not new to this.

VP Harris spent 10+ years in prosecutorial roles, 4 years as a Senator, and 3+ years as Vice President. But some of these unserious nincompoops would have you believe someone with VP Harris' experience is less qualified to be President than a real estate developer / reality TV personality.

They know the age argument is a hard sell with Trump in the race, so they have started to cast doubt on VP Harris. I have read op-eds and watched commentary on how VP Harris is unqualified or not ready for the job, and my response to that is, shut the fuck up. No, really, shut the fuck up.

So why all the focus on Biden's age and not Trump? Because Biden has a Black female vice president, and the idea of VP Harris ascending to the highest office is a bridge too far for many in the media. They would rather have another Trump presidency than have VP Harris become POTUS.

"But Biden's age" is a dog whistle for "but that Black woman could be president." Biden and Trump are nearly the same age, and both are known for making gaffes, but journalists and pundits would have you believe Biden is considerably older than Trump and more at risk of not being able to do the job.

I would also like to note that beyond the 2024 election, severe issues within the RNC will have long-lasting effects on the party's infrastructure, talent pipeline, and future electoral competitiveness. Rebuilding trust, financial health, and organizational stability will take years.

A chaotic and financially struggling RNC will erode confidence among grassroots supporters and major donors alike. This will lead to reduced contributions and lower volunteer engagement, further hampering the GOP's election efforts.

Organizational chaos often exacerbates existing divisions within a party. For the GOP, this will intensify conflicts between different factions, including establishment figures and Trump loyalists. Such divisions will lead to a lack of unity and a weakened overall strategy heading into November.
