Inflation is down to 2.97% but prices are still higher than they should be.
As we've screamed all along—the leading driver of high prices was not inflation, but corporate price gouging. And corporations fund politicians to prevent accountability. That is the problem we face.

Not everyone wants full-on social media engagement. Some would rather observe, like, and echo without undue attention. They are not lurkers; they contribute.
Extroversion is not mandatory.
But if you're looking for engagement, please remember:
Engagement is a two-way street on #Spoutible

In response to Michael DeNeef.
People enjoy being seen. It feels good. So I contribute by:
- commenting on spouts
- echoing/quote spouting
- liking spouts
- and lastly, creating my own spouts.

Teachers can only deduct $300 in school supplies on their taxes, but billionaire Harlon Crow can write off his super yacht.😐
Why? Because millionaire politicians funded by billionaires & corps write tax law for billionaires. We need a Congress for working people—not the .1%

I think the "💦 Splashback" label should be carried forward on echoes. It would help prevent some of the funny and concerning mix-ups happening from folks not noticing the date on echoed splashbacks.

For everyone up in arms over Marjorie Taylor Greene showing Hunter Biden's nudes...she will NEVER be expelled. She most likely won't be disciplined in any meaningful way, either. Our best hope? Returning the Housr to Democratic control. They can marginalize her by stripping committee assignments.

A polite nudge to try to avoid using words like “crazy” when discussing extremist/cultist politicians. Psychiatric illness is not the issue. Antisocial malignant narcissism, cultism, power, and hate are.

Can’t wait for the iOS app. Thanks for everything you’ve done!

I am not surprised about all the new members. It’s just a matter of time before the bird can’t fly any more. To all the new Spouters, welcome! Remember, #KindnessMatters Thank you again @cbouzy for the very soon to be #1 social media platform! Let’s go Spoutible!!!!!

Traffic here has exploded since Elon broke Twitter. I am so glad we had months to prepare.

At least you won’t have to contend with a low information man-baby running the network, so things should be fine.

It is a truth of the internet that Kpop stans are undefeated. I, for one, welcome our new overlords.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyWe got a huge influx of K-pop users and teens overnight. This has been an adjustment for older users, but everyone is welcome here as long as they follow the rules. Having a diverse community is important to Spoutible's growth. That said, we have identified ways to improve everyone's experience.06:11 AM - Jul 02, 2023

⛔Many of you have expressed displeasure with seeing the same spout echoed in your timeline. We have decided to show one echo of the spout in your timeline so you are not inundated with the same spout. We hope to make this change later today or tomorrow.

I can’t tell you how much I loathe when I give my professional opinion on Elon’s outright lie about limiting views to stop crawlers from scraping, and I get dismissed.
I mean, I’m just a software engineer who has worked on the web site of development and operations for 11 years. What do I know?

We will have to limit your spouts to 10 characters to prevent extreme levels of spouting.

I posted this on Twitter in response to a question and I thought you all might enjoy it too. Lou Dobbs telling Stephen Miller to have the GOP pay me $500 million to stop beating them in court.

We are getting a new user literally every 3 seconds now.
12:51 PM - Jul 02, 2023
We had enough resources to handle a reasonable wave of new users similar to what we have experienced in the past. As you witnessed yesterday, we handled the surge of traffic well. But today, it's significantly higher, and we just weren't prepared for this many users flooding in at once.
01:06 PM - Jul 02, 2023
It will take us a few days to add enough resources to handle this insane surge of new users. Spoutible is self-funded with the help of the Spoutible community. No VCs or billionaires are funding us, so if you want to help us keep going, please consider donating $5.

I am not feeling so bad about our downtime since they had three years to prepare, with $13 million in investments. We only had 7 months and $0 in investments.
02:09 PM - Jul 02, 2023
Hi everyone. This is the most traffic Spoutible has ever sustained, and things will temporarily break. If your spouts "disappear," it just means an issue on our backend requires fixing. We will do our best to keep the conversations flowing without going down for an extended period of time.
