Mike Lindell is developing his own social media platform to replace YouTube and Twitter

[TLK Valentine]

Just a bunch of undercover agents unknowingly forming a fake conspiracy in an attempt to get enough evidence that the other undercover agents are part of a real criminal conspiracy.

More than likely -- and to be expected when law enforcement greatly overestimates the criminal element.

Rocket scientists, they ain't.

How 'social' do to expect them to be if this site gets up and running? 9 out of every 10 users won't post anything because they suspect everyone else of being an undercover Fed... and the 10th man is an undercover Fed taking notes... and laughing.

Speaking as a middle-aged white dude, middle-aged white dudes HAVE STUFF THEY NEED TO TELL YA. LISTEN UP, SPARKY. I WASN'T PUT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH FOR CONVERSATIONAL GIVE AND TAKE. JUST SIT BACK AND I'LL TELL YOU HOW THINGS ARE.

So I expect it to be more antisocial than social, and a lot more talking than listening.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

Um....

And right now the front page is just his conspiracy video about the election. Still no apparent way to join.

That's not Massive Attack...
this is Massive Attack

Case in point.

"Inclusive haircuts" of staff members spoil the Disney magic for him? Maybe he should just go to Aryan World.

Considering that anyone who debates or disagrees will be labeled as a liberal infiltrator or government agent and chased out in short order, I agree.

Free speech and paranoia don't mix well.

I'm really confused on what an "inclusive haircut" is. And I love how he complains about Pirates being changed, then says it doesn't matter if Disney felt pressured by political pressure to change it. It's like he thinks that the park should always and forever stay static.

I gotta say. I dropped out of social media about eight years ago, and I don’t miss it. There’s very little dialogue or actual conversation. It’s mostly folks posting stuff, then waiting for likes, shares, and comments to come pouring in.

I grew up with discussion forums (like this one), and I like that they actually foster discussion. And sharing. And dialogue. Apart from this place, I e-mail or text family members. Or call / FaceTime them. I don’t miss social media much. And I don’t think I’ll go back.

More info on frankspeech from Salon on how amateurish the rollout was. As was noted earlier in the thread, the site is based on drupal which is generally used as a cms and not a social media site.

From the article,

"When I was looking at the code, in the browser, they basically launched the site while it was still in development mode," one expert told Salon, citing the fact that developers had failed to check a box to aggregate files on the platform as the first red flag he ran across. "Their files were not aggregated, and by the way, that's a check box in Drupal — you literally check a box and click save, My jaw dropped when I saw that. I was like, 'They did not try to launch this thing without aggregation turned on!'"

The second major red flag another Drupal expert found was that Lindell's site was spitting out coded error messages to users, which leaves the platform vulnerable to attacks. "This is a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] show," the expert said, calling this an "obvious" issue that coders learn how to prevent in "Drupal 101." Other "grandmasters" poked fun at the developers' mistakes, which were described as "extremely obvious" and juvenile in nature. One expert concluded that, based on the evidence, Lindell's developer team was inexperienced and lacked basic knowledge, and described the output of the pillow magnate's alleged 10-person staff as "not even student work."

I think this was to be a media site for him to spread his propaganda. Anyone want to gift a copy of Railsspace to Pillow Mike and his team of 10 ?

This is worse than the 2014 roll-out of healthCare[dot]gov, albeit for not quite as cereal a subject.

Now he's claiming over 400M "stream requests" in 2 days. It's like the fish that keeps getting bigger.

What you don't think he's getting 2 Thousand request a second every second ?

 

[Arcangl86]

What you don't think he's getting 2 Thousand request a second every second ?

So now they fixed it to be 4 days, but it's still suspect to me. I also suspect that those aren't unique hits.

Apart from not taking the Lord's name in vain, the Community Standards is just a bunch of ahistorical gibberish with no actual details on what the standards are. But at least we have been reminded, yet again, that America is not a democracy.

The Community Standards For Frank Are Based Upon America’s Constitutional Republic and the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God That Are Its Foundation

America’s Founding Fathers established America as a Constitutional Republic that is specifically based on the Ten Commandments and the law of nature and nature’s God. One need only visit the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC and read the inscriptions on its walls to understand the fundamental role God has played in guiding our Republic. As Thomas Jefferson stated, “God, who gave us life, gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?”

In keeping with that belief, Frank is a place for discussion by those who recognize our freedoms are gifts, not from government, but from God. Currently, Big Tech and the mainstream media are censoring individuals who speak out on events that are undermining our Republic and transgressing on our God given rights. Frank is a forum for discussing these issues free from their censorship.

But what is the basis of a republic?

The foremost legal authority of the Founder's day was William Blackstone. Introduced in 1766, Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws became the legal guidebook of early American leaders. Blackstone's Commentaries, in fact, formed the basis of American law for hundreds of years and was considered authoritative even in the U.S. Supreme Court. William Blackstone revealed that our Constitutional Republic is based on the law of the Divine. Commenting on the need to keep our laws consistent with God's laws, Blackstone states:

“To instance in the case of murder: this is expressly forbidden by the Divine. If any human law should allow or enjoin us to commit it, we are bound to transgress that human law. But, with regard to matters that are not commanded or forbidden by those superior laws such for instance, as exporting wool into foreign countries; here, the legislature has scope and opportunity to interpose.”

As with anything in life, with freedom comes the responsibility to act appropriately. Frank is not a platform for anarchy or an “anything goes” mentality. Mike Lindell has publicly stated that the community standards for his broadcast, social media platform Frank, will not allow for certain content or words to be broadcast on his platform, including the use of the Lord’s name in vain. Respectful discourse and following the “Golden Rule” found in the Bible are strict requirements.

At one time, even the mainstream media in America agreed that America’s foundation was built upon the Judeo-Christian worldview. In December 1982, Newsweek published a cover story examining the influence of the Bible on America. The story also discussed the fact that President Ronald Reagan and the U.S. Congress declared 1983 to be the “year of the Bible.” Newsweek wrote, “For centuries [the Bible] has exerted an unrivaled influence on American culture, politics, and social life. Now historians are discovering that the Bible, perhaps more than the Constitution, is our founding document…”

Many Americans falsely believe that America is a democracy and therefore what the majority of Americans want or desire should become reality in the arena of public policy, laws, and public values. Not so.

Not only was America’s federal government formed as a republic, but the Founders included a provision in the Constitution requiring that “[t]he United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government…” (Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution). America was founded as a Constitutional Republic and therefore, when one defends the Judeo-Christian worldview, they are defending the very foundation of our Constitutional Republic that is based upon the character and nature of God by which men should regulate their behavior.

Frank is grounded in certain eternal truths, including respect for the rights and human dignity of others. In keeping with our legal and Constitutional history as a nation, Frank will enforce and enjoy community standards that are consistent with the legal and constitutional standards embodied in the laws of nature and nature’s God that are the basis of our federal and state Constitutional Republics.
