This result is so close that it's entirely possible that Trump's "Truth" this morning with his 51st state threat resulted in PP losing his seat.

Took me a while ro figure out what you meant by a "Truth". I'm only just figuring out what "Xcreting" is.

As a Lemmy user, you're probably aware of Mastodon. And, last I heard, "Truth Social" is just running a hacked-up version of Mastodon, but without the federation. So, they really could be called "toots"...

Oh interesting. I suppose anyone could spin up an unfederated Mastodon server.

Wait, did we come all the way here just to return to forums? Even I had my own forum back in the 2000s

Old guy here.

Yes. Yes we did.

Given how the CPC turnout was well above expected nationally, it seems more likely this was a result of the hard work Fanjoy’ team put in there and PP’s natural anti-charisma.
