GETTR is a non-bias social network for people all over the world. GETTR tried the best to provide best software quality to the users, allow anyone to express their opinion freely.
Well, they tried.

Honestly, from where I’m standing, that’s a hard kinda. But to be fair, the copy writer’s English is far better than my Chinese. Or Russian.

So I am guessing within a week of going online, the platform will be overrun with phishing scammers, trolling K-Pop stans and the most disgusting porn one can legally put on the internet.
P.S. Edit
My prediction was off by a few days. It only took 24 hours!

Ha! They encrypt the password on the client side, so their keys are public now.
Oh good lord.

Anyone who thinks they’re a free speech absolutist should try moderating a moderately successful web forum for a day. Or even a shitty one. Or even this raging dumpster fire, Gettr or Bittr or Shittr or whatever it’s called. I’m enjoying watching it crash and burn.

God damn it - shittr.org and .net are both available. I don’t need any more domain names.
ETA: Despite this, I am the proud owner of shittr.net now. God damn it.

The app – known as GETTR, not to be confused with Turkey-based groceries app Getir – has actually been available on the Google and Apple app stores since mid-June, but had only been downloaded a thousand or so times on each until it was soft-launched yesterday (1 July).
The app’s official launch day will be 4 July, which will undoubtedly lead to hugely positive coverage from any tech journalists who have to cover it, instead of being at home celebrating Independence Day with their families.

The platform has a number of other odd quirks when compared with its obvious main rival. To begin with, the maximum length of posts is 777 characters rather than 280. This seemingly completely arbitrary number is probably intended to allow posters – overly verbose former presidents, perhaps – to express themselves more fully than they might have been able to on Twitter.
Unfortunately, the number 777 also happens to be the symbol of the Afrikaner-Weerstandsbeweging or Afrikaner Resistance Movement, a South African white supremacist neo-Nazi organisation. This may be a simple coincidence, of course, but it does seem like a bit of a red flag that nobody noticed it.

This whole topic is worth a BoingBoing post of its own.
It’s a veiled gesture, sort of self-racist trolling used to provoke Korean men (and their supposed lack of endowment) used as a logo for a feminist activist group.
But it’s also a very common gesture that is suddenly seen everywhere, so now it’s become extremely taboo in just a year. I don’t know if we will ever recover the normal use of it.
Exposing male fragility, I’d say it a sort of success beyond their wildest dreams.

I’m no full stack developer, not at least since I took an arrow to the knee, but that app seems pretty generic.
