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?

So... is this Grindr for conservatives?

You can even specify your favorite kinks such as: incest, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, and lizard people cosplay.

This comment gave me a chuckle, but I don’t think it will last very long on HN ;-)

Ah yes, Jason Miller: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/giz...

Summary of the allegation for anyone who doesn't want to click: >The court filing in question stated that Delgado had been informed that Miller had an affair with a “Jane Doe”; that this other woman became pregnant; that shortly thereafter, Miller visited the woman’s apartment with a smoothie; and that unbeknownst to Jane Doe, the smoothie contained an abortion pill, which induced an abortion. >Krueger’s article read…

If a woman can choose to abort whenever she desires, so can the impregnating man make her abort.

I don't think your stereotypes reflect reality. People 45 and older are statistically ambivalent on Trump - about 50% of them voted for Trump, 50% didn't. The same holds true when you look at just 65+ people: https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/exit-polls/president/natio...

According to your single exit poll of 15k people. Over 159 million Americans voted in 2020.

56% of Republican and GOP-leaning voters are ages 50 and older, up from 39% in 1996.

I predict it will do about as well as Parler or Gab. Meaning: it’ll burn money from deep pockets for political motives but never make a profit unless it becomes part of some campaign grifting scheme.

No one can afford to moderate a social network that attracts a small group of people requiring a disproportionate amount of moderation.

Moderate enough and it’s both too expensive and not seen as “free speech” enough by the target audience. Moderate too little and you’ll expose yourself to legal risk and you’ll struggle to find hosting.

We have seen this before.
