I hope you’re posting this on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. If not, what’s the point?
+++++
It was just a joke. But the point was that FR is the best social meeting place for conservatives.

Hmmmm. I like having only five rules to remember.

FR is great for reading non-fake news that nobody else will publish but it’s near useless for creating posts due to being strangled by rules and fear of copyright violations.

I come here first to scan the news and then head off to Twitter, Parler, Gab, and now The Donald for articles that aren’t allowed here. I do like my Cryptogram puzzles, blogs, and Q drops from here though.

Yes, but it's preaching to the choir (and this choir seems to be shrinking over the years).

The battlefield is out there on Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube, Reddit, reaching out to people who are only getting exposed to the "mainstream" (leftist) message. That's why the president posts over there, not here.

FR is great. Love this place. Been here almost 20 years. But let's be honest. We're not reaching anyone new here.

“I like FR’s format more”

Agree. This is the most user-friendly site I know. No frills. It’s simple to follow posts, i.e., what posts is being replied to, if there are comments/replies to a specific post., etc.

Can you tell what “permalink” and “deport” are? Just checked out the site and it looks pretty good. I hope it catches on.

Post upvote counts at the new site are already exceeding more than 90% of similar posts at Reddit.

I'm going to check it out and will likely register there. But I only have so much time for social media (including this site). So to be active there, it means de-activating my account on another platform.

For example, I deleted my profile on Facebook once I signed up for the_Donald on Reddit. I'm only active on that, FR and Twitter.

The "probation", "quarantine" or whatever they call it of the_Donald on Reddit is puzzling. That group are the most positive, upbeat, patriotic people on the Internet and they will quickly drive away (self-police) anybody coming in there with racist views and whatnot.

One thing I noticed though on Reddit, as soon as I became active on the_Donald sub, I was almost immediately a pariah everywhere else. I remember going to the Christmas music sub of Reddit in 2016, just after Trump's victory, and I was completely shunned there due to my participation on the_Donald.

Let's hope these Nazis never get any power over us.

Said the person posting on FreeRepublic.com.

Exactly!

I get a kick out of Freepers dissing social media.

FR is the EPITOME of social media!

I think Bill Gates woud agree! But surely you have some brains, as well! Curious -- what field are your patents in?

Best reason for that status (JMHO) is our apparent shortage of sub juvenile twits.
