I'm torn and slightly confused. On one hand, good on them, I do enjoy some shitposting. On the other, the founder of NAFO is a nazi.

Edit: Also I went to Truth Social and thought it was weird that I couldn't reject their cookies so I clicked in the link at the bottom for GDPR and it gave me a 404 lol.

Why? That shithole contains the MAGAtards in a nice giant ecochamber where they circlejerk eternally, we dont whant them flooding the normal net again.

The echo chamber is the problem. It only increases the radicalization of people on either extreme.

Eugh I tried signing up, but they want a phone number for txt verification, and block the free online numbers to get around that.

I've never had those free text numbers work for me when used this way. For any services.

I mean, they do have a bit of a point to have stronger defenses against alt accounts
