‘Gettr, the social media platform that bills itself as a way to escape Big Tech, actually includes trackers and features from companies like Facebook and Google.’
(LifeSiteNews) — Gettr, the social media app that has enjoyed a brief moment in the sun as a new home for conservative Twitter and Facebook refugees, is being slammed for disingenuous practices and for “falsely claiming to be a ‘free speech’ platform and an alternative to Big Tech.”
The app skyrocketed into national prominence after popular talk show host Joe Rogan migrated to Gettr after his blockbuster New Year’s Eve interview with mRNA pioneer Dr. Robert Malone was censored by Twitter and Google/YouTube after going viral.
“Just in case sh*t over at Twitter gets even dumber, I’m here now as well,” Rogan wrote in his inaugural post on Gettr. “Rejoice!”
Over the next few days, a reported one million people signed up as new Gettr users.
Since then, the site has come under fire.
Rogan quickly regretted aligning with Gettr, blasting the site as “fugazi,” slang for “fake.”
Rogan’s brand new Gettr account had immediately boasted 9 million followers. “It’s not real, though,” Rogan said in a guest appearance on The Tim Dillon Show. “Because Gettr doesn’t even have 9 million people, it’s a lot of f*ckery.”
The site actually has a total of only 4 million users. The 9 million cited on Rogan’s account includes his Twitter followers, a practice that Gettr justifies because it automatically imports Rogan’s tweets.
“They take all my Twitter followers. So my Twitter followers, like 7.8 million? And then they port those over,” Rogan told Dillon. “So I started out with 7.8 million. So whatever I have now, I have like, eight [million], it’s like, really, I have 200,000.”

So is Gab the “go-to” choice for conservative social media until Trump can get his platform going?
What next?
Yes, but we need to grow it and not keep losing longtime members.
‘rumble’. Heard their also tied up with google and apple.... due to ‘apps’. Correct as needed.
Fake news hit piece.
It’s got trackers, same as 99.9% of websites out there. Use a blocker. Or Brave. Bfd.
It allows connections to non https sites. So do many, many sites. Use https anywhere, or a Brave browser. Bfd.
Just....stupid.
They tried to tale out DDG. Some here fell for it.
They tried to take out signal. Many,many here fell for it.
Who gains? China, dems, msm.

the CEO has sour grapes that Trump didn’t join his platform and is being a A-hole
He keeps attacking Rumble, GETTR and at times Truth Social
Rogan is using Gettr as a backup plan, but their follower count is bogus. The gorilla was in the room will be Truth Social. Where will that fit in. We still need a Twitter alternative and as of today GETTR is it. I
‘rumble’. Heard their also tied up with google and apple.... due to ‘apps’. Correct as needed.

as in just about everyone else
Outside of FR, which runs no advertising, most all sites run ads from Google - they control close to 90% of the ad placements. So, either no ads or google ads. Most places have to keep the lights on with adverts.
Hoping Trump can take it up a notch with Truth Social.
Partnering with Rumble is encouraging.

You could just ignore that crap altogether and find another way to communicate with like-minded people. Human ingenuity, man: It’s more than just making a choice between two suspect things that are similar in many regards, and neither of which is palatable, offered to you by people you don’t know and have no reason to trust. Ingenuity.

There is nothing wrong with gab...they don’t censor anything if that’s your thing (even the N word)
but Gab and Odysee Video seem to be partnering up attacking the other start ups
Odysee even accused rumble of SEC violations accusing them of inflating their web traffic with bots, which would be misleading their investors, in a twitter post
Rumble threatened to sue unless they took the post down..which they did
yup, cat lady. Bongino’s personal whipping girl.
No wonder they are going after Mike Lindell.. FrankSpeech.com is the BEST.. Hope it grows and grows and grows..
Just like the pillows, I was skeptical at first.. but when I got them I LOVED them, and still do.
FrankSpeech has an incredible 24\7 Live broadcast with Outstanding hosts and guests.. and you can easily find past shows below the live stream to watch and D/L.
OMGosh.. So happy I finally checked it out!!
