Is Joe Rogan on GETTR?

On Sunday, January 2, 2022, Joe Rogan launched his own GETTR account, encouraging his 7.8million Twitter followers to join him in his transition.

"Just in case s**t over at Twitter gets even dumber, I’m here now as well," Rogan wrote on the social media site.

"Rejoice!"

His move to the website came just one day after Twitter permanently banned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was accused of spreading "misinformation" on Covid-19.

Following her ban, Greene said in a statement: "Social media platforms can't stop the truth from being spread far and wide.

"Big Tech can't stop the truth. Communist Democrats can't stop the truth. I stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome!"

What have people said about GETTR?

On the Apple store, GETTR has received rave reviews, earning four stars out of five.

Fans of the app have taken to discuss the interface and user experience, as one user wrote: “Speech-free platform for patriots of a common world free from the Chinese Communist Party. 

"Unfortunately, Getter seems to be one of the very few platform that allow you to tell the truth. 

"It is definitely a good alternative of the big tech oligarchs that censor your speech and only allow you to see and write what they want you to do."

Another review read: "No one would suspend me any more. I have been banned by twitter few times since I post something about the pandemic origin. 

"This app looks greater than twitter. Hopefully it run by real free organization. I could enjoy the real free speech again. Thanks!"

A third wrote: "Gettr is an intuitive and user friendly social media app. I have no problem at all when setting up an account. 

"In a few minutes, I was able to follow users that i want to follow.

"I hope Gettr will able to rival Twitter and provide a healthy competition in social media tools."

What did Trump say about Twitter?

In June of 2021, Trump praised Nigeria for banning Twitter in the country and expressed remorse for not thinking of doing the same – but said he'll get another chance in a potential 2024 run.

At the time of his ban back in January of 2021, Trump said he predicted that Twitter would try to silence him and that the company would not exist for long if it were not for Section 230, which protects websites from lawsuits if users post illegal content.

"They are all about promoting a Radical Left platform where some of the most viscous people in the world are allowed to speak freely."
