After spending so much time and effort building YacYak as an alternative to Twitter, we now have much of the features they have. The only thing we lack is "people".
Watching the news unfold about Twitter reconsidering Elon Musks bid to buy Twitter just makes me ponder. I mean really!!! 43 Billion!??? ya, thats with a "B", Billion. You could build a few dozen social media sites with that kind of money! I believe Elon would do better to build his own, or simply support platforms that will support Free Speech, like YacYak, Gab or Parler.
I will always maintain the belief that free speech can only thrive if the platform DOESNT employ thousands to censor people. People know how to police themselves. Thats why we provide a "Report Post" feature, so users can flag posts for our review.
Speaking of Free Speech, do you remember the Larry Flynt case that was before the Supreme Court decades ago?
Larry Flynt was sued by Reverend Jerry Falwell in 1983 over an offensive parody in Hustler that depicted Falwell’s having a sexual encounter with his own mother in an out-house. Falwell, enraged by this depiction, sued Flynt for emotional distress. The Supreme Court ultimately sided with Larry Flynt, by stating public figures cannot seek retribution or recover damages for “intentional infliction of emotional distress” based on parodies or unrealistic depictions.
The point is unpopular speech is protected, and as much as the far left or the media hates it, its not misinformation as they like to call it.
People have a right to their own thoughts and opinions, and thats why YacYak was born, to help protect that God given right.
Keep on Yacking about the things you love America!
