Time to start live streaming a lettuce again to as the traditional Liz Truss standard for how long her projects last...
She's a moron, always has been - but who is the money behind her?
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.
LettuceConnect
A worthy successor to 4chan.
"Lettuce Speak".
"Lettuce Speak Freely"
Aren't there enough right wing echo bunkers at this point?
So it will shut down in a week as well?
Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad
Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?
Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.

Every "free speech" platform is, in reality, a "speech I like" platform.
Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.
Even more a 'i want to say hateful stuff and not be held accountable for my own stupidity' platform.
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.
Her parents are so disappointed.
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.
You'll need to make new account every 49 days
I think I'll join the platform that the lettuce launches, it'll likely last longer
There we go again. Another Trump bitch trying to please the orange morron. Maybe she can share a bed with Nigel Farage.
So...we will all be making accounts to post photos of our lettuces?
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
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

So, do you guys think that her social media platform will last longer or less than a piece of lettuce?
A lettuce probably has more leaves than her platform will have users.

She even talks like a Trump. Is it contagious?
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.
Lemme guess, they're gonna launch a private Mastodon server.
I hope not.
Hasn‘t she embarrassed herself enough by now?
Haven't you heard? She isn't the type to give up.
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.
Hey, I've seen this one before.
It wasn't bad enough she crashed the UK's economy? Damn son, crack on with your dumb ass.
Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.
I sincerely hope this is the last time I read about Liz Truss and she just disappears into the sands of history.
Nah, she’s gonna get mentioned everytime the shortest PMship did the worst damage ever…ratio’d of course.
Cheese markets
Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.
Fully expecting this to be like Truth Social, based off fediverse software with no attribution and no federation.
Another badly executed neoliberal neocon shithole predicated on open-source tech and standards yay!
Feel like I've seen this one before
4chan?
Stupid cunt.
