How To Use Gettr App And Its Features!
Home to free speech, independent thought, and superior technology.
With Trump’s Twitter ban and the following suspension of Twitter accounts of various conservatives, alternate apps like Gettr are being developed with the aim of promoting free speech. Gettr is becoming a popular alternative to Twitter and if you want to become a part of it, then here’s everything about Gettr and How to use Gettr!
Freedom of thought is being compromised, if we believe Trump’s army of supporters who are constantly under the scrutinizing gaze of popular social networking sites like Twitter or Facebook. Thus, in such a digital environment where the free flow of thoughts and opinions is restricted, Jason Miller has developed a rival to major microblogging sites, Gettr.
Gettr, much like Twitter, allows you to create and pin posts, share them, and also has a feature to repost posts of other Gettr Users (as opposed to Twitter’s Retweet). Additionally, there are many other features to explore in Gettr, and although it would take time for Gettr to become mainstream, the addition of notable faces is surely creating a buzz.
So without any delay, let’s dive straight to know more about Gettr and how to use Gettr.
What Is Gettr?
Gettr (or GETTR) is a social media platform founded by Jason Miller, the Chief Spokesman for Donald Trump’s 2016 Campaign and his former advisor. This micro-blogging site was officially released in July 2021 with the aim of promoting free speech across all spheres of the political spectrum.
With Trump’s Twitter ban and Twexit becoming a common phenomenon, the Conservatives of the house needed fresh air to communicate their ideas without a possible threat of a ban or suspension of an account which Twitter is guilty of. As claimed by major conservatives, Twitter has failed to provide the actual essence of free spirit and this is an indisputable fact taking into account the arbitrary Twitter policies.
In such a background where Twitter has failed many Conservatives, Getter aims to abridge such shortcomings. That’s the reason why Gettr and Twitter seem so relatable. (yes and the ttr sound as well)
Gettr is best described as an alternative to Twitter and shares the same UI. The platform is designed to end the prevalence of cancel-out culture, a dark cloud looming over major social networking platforms like Twitter.
Notable conservatives like Mike Pompeo have joined Gettr and with the recent addition of Joe Rogan, the site is surging with millions of daily users. The popular podcaster, Joe has kickstarted the buzz for Gettr which it failed to create since its official launch (as Miller failed to bring Trump onboard who by the way, plans to launch his own platform, Truth Social.)
Even though Joe hasn’t left Twitter (and even Gettr has its official account on Twitter), the first post of him on Gettr hinted how uncertain and arbitrary Twitter can be. With the recent suspension of Sen. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Twitter, Twitter users are shifting to Gettr as an alternative and that can be better understood by the post of Joe Rogan on Gettr.
