It's recommending that new members follow "Hitler," but at least old Adolph doesn't have a red checkmark.
ETA - looks like they shut down an existing Chinese social media site, then repurposed it as a MAGA site. Weird.

They didn't really have a choice in the name. GETTR, originally "Getter", is part of Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui's aspirational global media conglomerate which Wengui refers to as the "G-Ecosystem", all of whose services start with the letter "G".
You may recognize Guo Wengui's name; Steve Bannon was on Wengui's yacht when he was arrested by the feds last year.

Google already appears to have pulled the plug on it, with no link to GETTR in search results.

My gawd he looks like **** in that photo. How does this guy look in the mirror in the morning and say "Ya, I look good!" Just based on that he is too stoopid to be prez.
"Save America" my ass.
I think I see fake accounts for MCanany (don't care about spelling) and others. At least I hope they're fake. Anyways I've seen enough.

I just checked and there is a paid ad at top, and plenty of related articles. Also, the link to the homepage is there.
I can't see this going very far, outside of the fan base...which I believe to be greatly overestimated.

Trump is a freakish looking individual, but a lot of this looks like post processing to me. Looks like the contrast is very high, and maybe sharpening and other settings are maxed out, probably to make the infograph more eye catching.

The paid ads are probably US only, because they're not showing here.
Also, the articles weren't the point of what I said. If you search "twitter", Twitter is the top of the list, while "gettr" isn't showing the actual site. I see it's available at Google Play Store, so my guess is whichever dolt set the site up forgot to include the Google search code in the HTML code.
Exactly the type of noob mistake I'd expect to see.
I agree with that, but it looks like it might provide a good amount of humour.
Ya could be, but even without it he is a freaky lookin' dude on any given day.
GETTR has been hacked already...
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pr...d-launch-day-half-million-sign-up-2021-07-04/
A writer for Salon posted screenshots on Twitter of several GETTR profiles, including those of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Miller himself, that were altered to read "JubaBaghdad was here, follow me in twitter".
Almost forgot about this guy:
Bannon. Presidential advisor. Jeebus.

The person who hacked GETTR, known as JubaBaghdad -- one of the GETTR accounts he hacked was Marjorie Taylor Greene's (she was one of the first to join) -- told an interviewer:
All of the profiles were changed to the one message which read: "@JubaBaghdad was here
According to reports, the accounts were first hacked around 8:30am EST and the majority of the profiles returned to normal by 10am. Insider spoke with user @JubaBaghdad who allegedly claimed responsibility for the hack via a Twitter DM with the outlet. When asked why they decided to target GETTR, they said it was ""just for fun. They should not publish the website before making sure everything, or at least almost everything, is secure," they added. Sun News

Their system is utterly worthless.
The activation email took two days to reach me, long after it had expired.
Still trying, but at the moment, it's going about as badly as you'd expect from a bunch of lunatic far-right morons.
Good PR does not include having outdated and ineffective software.

Gods, can't these right-wingers manage technology?
It's not hard to imagine a new venture like this having startup woes, right?
There are a ton of valid reasons to bash this effort, but that is pretty low on my list, tbh.
