I like to call it the bell curve problem.. The edges of the bell curve
where the extreme are getting way too much influence in today's world...

The right seems to collect the conspiracy theory non-critical
thinkers. The left seems to collect the rediculous to the extreme
social justice warrior types. And both sides collect few other groups
with extreme viewpoints.
Then, each side claims that the other side solely consists of those
extreme views. Both sides say "ain't no way we want those nut jobs in
power". Which is 100% correct... if you include both side's nut jobs
into the statement.

I am happy being a deplorable “junk” person I guess. Not given to

It makes sense that people who believe lies and conspiracies are
more likely to be scammed than people who have critical thinking
skills. Truth Social is filled with junk posts by junk people so
if I were a scammer, I'd focus all my time there too.

But it was inevitable that technical and politics would
intersect. I didn’t expect to see it on Gizmodo though.
If you have elderly relatives or friends who hang out on
Truth Social, give them the usual public service
announcement to watch out for scams. Apparently Truth
Social is viewed as a target rich environment for scammers.
