She's taken a leaf out of Musks book.
Bravo!
Finally a place where hard Marxists can openly call for overthrowing the government and killing the bourgeoisie without being censored. Right?
Obviously. It's uncensored after all.
This woman has a humiliation fetish, doesn't she?
Truss made the revelation at a cryptocurrency conference in Bedford over the weekend.
Seems like it.
If hell is real it'll be a neverending cryptocurrency conference.
It's illegal to run an uncensored social media network in the UK so I'm intrigued what she actually means. Probably similar to Musk's idea of free speech
Oh don't worry I'm sure it will be censored.
It will definitely be interesting to watch how this ends up because she doesn't really have the cult following that is required to pull something like this off.
oh she has a cult following all right.
just not one that wishes her well

She's really embraced the grift since being laughed out of office.
I feel a bit bad for her because I think she takes the whole thing very personally, which is probably why she has become so defensive.
I wonder if she ever will say "okay sorry guys, maybe I made some mistakes". If she did then maybe people would mock her less. People are a bit relentless in mocking her these days.

"to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about"
Who are you going to talk about these issues with, then? A selection of other salad ingredients?
Don't wanna talk about... like the horrible damage she did the country maybe?

as one 4chan closes, another one is born
Uncensored social media has always devolved into shit. Every online MMO ever has experience with it. Chat moderation is important or you end up with spam and bots, and nazis everywhere.
It will be a hundred percent be censored lol

I'm sure someone can make a funnier version.
Very true that free speech never really means that
The 4chan source code got leaked. Maybe she can use that!
Nazis nazis everywhere
So she's not just joining Truth Social? I'm surprised.
Well the biggest part of Truth social was laundering money 'indirectly' by having bribes be 'investments'. She can't profit off of Truth social.
Will it be made of cheese?
It better not be imported cheese. That would be a disgrace.
She made an absolute mess as a PM so why should we trust her with a social network?
You say "social network", I say barely attended vbulletin install. Potato, patahto
Does anybody actually like her- like anybody at all?
No
I want the cute Liz Truss back, the one that announced with a slightly shy and awkward grin that she was opening new pork markets in China. I don't like Evil Truss, that started out by murdering QE2 then tried to do the same to the UK economy.
Sorry, but her daddy/Master has always been conservative overlords.
Probably hasn't heard of the fediverse...
Don't give her any ideas
As the Friday Night Comedy podcast would have it:
I knoooooow
Hey, I've seen this one before
Behold, the power of roubles
Lmao what an idiot.
Following in the footsteps of former Tory MP turned right-wing grifter Louise Mensch. Her one of these, named Menshn (IIRC), lasted a year or two before it was shut down due to lack of interest.
god she's a genuine ghoul and I can't wait to stop hearing about her.
