> The app, which is in beta testing, appears in the Apple App Store and is described as “a non-bias social network for people all over the world.”

Reminds me of this koan:

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

“I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.

“Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.

“I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

“Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

“So that the room will be empty.”

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I wish I had any kind of celebrity in the right wing. Like Jason Miller will probably be set for retirement off of this one stunt, maybe he can even write a book and go on tour. People from these circles basically have a direct line to the wallet of most people over 50 in America; anyone have ideas for how we can get in on this hustle?

A couple of interesting things about this new product:

1. This is an "source available" project, they published with sourcemaps on: https://twitter.com/adgodev/status/1410667547335217169

2. They copy a lot of content (images + posts) from Twitter itself. For example, they hotlink images from Twitter: https://twitter.com/z3dster/status/1410654138921279499

3. They will be enforcing moderation practices to remove "objectionable material of any kind" per their user agreement.
