One thing that I hated about Twitter and Facebook, is that they tend to become echo chambers, which doesn't really allow for antipodal opinions.

@seanking based on their speed lately, we'll see ya in a couple of weeks. 🙄

@whitepaperkat I think there's a bit of stigma around anyone who thinks for themselves and refuses to believe *any* media. 🤷‍♂️

@breitbartnews_bot Must not have heard of Twitter and Facebook. 🙄

@breitbartnews_bot more "pro-science" that's actually anti-science 😒

@bolapara "started-but-unfinished projects", the story of my life

@bolapara according to Wolf Blitzer, the entire city is closed down.

@whitepaperkat have I missed something about Gab? What's wrong with them? (Other than the overwhelmed servers.)

@valleyforge I hope to get a good 3D printer one day. I don't want a gun, not because I'm opposed to them, I just don't want one for myself. I've always been more of a bow hunter. 😉

@bolapara I've never been there, I guess I don't realize how big of an area it is. I hope to one day visit.

That said, on one hand they don't expect many at the inauguration, but on the other hand they expect a large protest. Kinda says that more people oppose the new president than are for him.

@bolapara I get that, still seems to be a bit over-kill.

So, you're having a small inauguration but yet you need 25,000 troops? something doesn't add up

@ssl that's interesting, I guess it's just our media that leaves them out

Anyone else notice how when people refer to "big-tech" it's usually Google (or Alphabet), Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and sometimes I've even seen Tesla thrown in. I have not, in relatively recent memory seen Microsoft referred to as "big-tech".
