Jimmy Wales says his new social network, WT:Social, now has more than 160,000 members.

The platform says it will never sell user data and relies on "the generosity of individual donors" rather than ads.

Those who do sign up are added to a waiting list and asked to invite others, or choose a subscription payment.

It is positioning itself as a "news focused" place, and says members will be able to edit "misleading" headlines.

They will see the articles shared by their network in a timeline format, appearing with the newest first rather than algorithmically to try to appeal to their interests.

The subscription is £10 per month or £80 per year in the UK (€12 / €90 in Europe, $13 / $100 in the US).

    Apparently the little blue pill has completely grossed out every retirement home worker since the 90s.

    Those workers, they better stop taking the blue pill, yea?

      You got that backwards. Incels are damned near exclusively Betas and most of them wouldn't take a red pill if you told them it would get them laid three times a day for life, add sixty years to their life, add six inches to their schlong, and cure world hunger. See, even SJW chicks don't get turned on by Betas; they'll throw politics right out the window and fuck a straight up red-pilled Alpha before they fuck a Beta.
