🐳Don't judge me by what trolls and haters say about me; judge me by my actions. I can't stop disinformation and falsehoods, but I can let my actions speak for me. I promised we would fix our server issues, and now Spoutible.com is blazing fast, faster than Twitter...

The vibe at Spoutible.com is different, and words can't quite describe the atmosphere. It's like a group of people all left an abusive relationship together and are relieved to finally be out of it. Also, engagement at Spoutible is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than at Twitter.

🐳Trolls can spread all the disinformation they want about Spoutible.com, but this was our traffic numbers from the past week with a limited launch. People are tired of the abuse and targeted harassment, and they are willing to give us a chance.❤️

🔔Today at 11 AM EST, I will host a Q&A to address the events over the past week. I would encourage everyone to join us because it will be an important discussion.

Admitting to a cybercrime on Twitter while using your real name is probably the dumbest thing I have seen so far in 2023.

We will continue developing Spoutible and provide a safe space for our users. We will not be deterred by people trying to keep you on Twitter so they can continue abusing you. It is clear Spoutible is a threat to these people, and we are not going anywhere.❤️

Then he claimed I was a scammer and that no one should use a platform owned by a scammer. A few days ago, he claimed we were using code from a Russian hacker, and now this is just his latest stunt. His goal is to scare people into not using Spoutible, and he said it himself...

Lastly, I want to take a moment to address the disinformation campaign that has been happening for weeks. The individual in question has been spamming people who reply to me for over two months. He first claimed Spoutible was a scam and it was vaporware...

As I stated in my Spaces, we take security seriously. I was adamant that we would immediately address any issue that puts our users at risk and make that information public within 24 hours. I wouldn't encourage you to use a platform that I wouldn't use myself...

We disabled the API endpoint and made sure all unused API endpoints were disabled. No personal DMs, passwords, or phone numbers were accessed, nor were any of our systems breached. Spoutible and your data are secure. But still, I wanted to be 100% transparent...

We have public APIs that display public information available to everyone. It is no different than how Twitter displays its data. We also have APIs we use for debugging and testing. There was an old API endpoint we were no longer using that someone somehow stumbled upon...

🐳Spoutible Update: Earlier today, the individual from Germany who had been spreading false information about Spoutible for weeks is now attempting to make people believe that Spoutible has been hacked and is insecure, and that is 100% false. Here are the facts...

We are considering adding a quick verification feature to Spoutible for people who were verified (legacy verification) on Twitter and Instagram.

Spoutible.com users will confirm engagement on our platform is much higher than on Twitter, and most people who join are having meaningful interactions within minutes. If you think I am lying, you will see for yourself soon.

🐳Yesterday, I shared a screenshot of one of our database nodes using nearly 100% of the CPU, which isn't supposed to happen. After hours of troubleshooting and optimizing the backend, each database node is now using less than 20% of the CPU.

Over the next few days, we'll add new servers, optimize the code, resolve bugs, and prepare to launch Spoutible.com for all on Monday. I express gratitude to everyone who has been supportive during this challenging time. Our journey is just getting started. Thank you!❤️

A certain self-proclaimed disinformation "expert" is now telling folks this guy is a "security expert." He was a customer service agent in 2017, and then he ran the social media accounts. He is no more a security expert than she is a disinfo expert. Stop lying and seek help.

The issue is our Galera database clusters. We are seeing unusually high CPU usage across all of our nodes. We are running tests now to see why that is. We are confident this will all be resolved soon.

🐳Spoutible update: I hired a Server Optimization Specialist that one of you guys recommended. Our front-end servers are working as expected and handling the load. The 1 million concurrent users estimate was accurate. Barely much CPU/MEM usage on one of the 4 front-end servers...

Thank you, but it's my job to stress. When I make a promise to my users, I am obligated to deliver on that promise. I wasn't happy with yesterday's launch because people could not get in or were experiencing latency issues. Unlike other tech CEOs, I actually care about you guys.

Lastly, some unhinged trolls have claimed we are not encrypting the data. The same unhinged trolls believe Hunter Biden's laptop contains national secrets and microchips are in vaccines. Here is a screenshot of how emails and phone numbers are stored on our servers.

I am sure when people wake up, Spoutible will slow down again, but we will have the load issues resolved soon. ChatGPT received BILLIONS in funding, and they are still dealing with load issues. We have to do more optimizing to give you guys a better experience...

Currently, the date & time is displayed in EST, but we are adding the ability to display the time in your time zone. We are also addressing issues with the UI, and adding a layout specifically for tablets. Spoutible isn't perfect, but give us time to get it right...

Here is what we got right: Since launching, we have only received 5 reports. 3 were for impersonating someone, and 2 were for SPAM. We are already seeing lively debates without the harassment and abuse we currently see here. We believe our anti-abuse measures are working...

We are setting up our help portal to allow you to submit bugs and other support requests. The portal will be live by Friday, so please be patient while we get that set up. I know it's frustrating when things don't go exactly as planned, and we are listening to your concerns...
