Joe Rogan tells 7.8 million Twitter followers to join him on GETTR — a non-'cancel culture' rival platform: 'In case s**t over at Twitter gets even dumber'
Podcaster Joe Rogan told his 7.8 million Twitter followers on Sunday to join him on GETTR — a rival social media platform launched July 4 by Jason Miller, an adviser to former President Donald Trump, Fox News reported.
Rogan's move to GETTR came the same day Twitter permanently suspended the personal account of Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia for reportedly sharing "COVID-19 misinformation."

Rogan told fellow GETTR users Sunday, "Just in case s**t over at Twitter gets even dumber, I’m here now as well. Rejoice!"
Miller told Fox News amid GETTR's launch that he wanted the social media platform to be "independent from social media monopolies, independent from cancel culture; embracing free speech."
'GETTR hits 150K+ new users in one day'
Following Rogan's announcement that he joined GETTR, the social media platform said it saw over 150,000 new users in a single day.
Other notable new GETTR users include BlazeTV hosts Dave Rubin and Elijah Schaffer, as well as conservative commentators such as Andy Ngo, Jedediah Bila, and Kurt Schlichter, the social media platform added.
Another new GETTR user is Dr. Robert Malone, a virologist and immunologist who has said he helped develop mRNA technology — and who is an outspoken critic of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Malone said last week that Twitter permanently suspended his account.

Malone appeared on Rogan's podcast shortly after his banishment from Twitter to discuss his views related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of vaccines created to fight the virus.
How are folks reacting to Rogan's GETTR endorsement?
As of Monday morning, Rogan's tweet encouraging his followers to join him on GETTR has received nearly 50,000 likes and almost 3,000 comments.
Reaction to Rogan's tweet appeared mostly negative, however.
"How much were you paid to post this cringe?" one annoyed user asked Rogan, while another declared, "GETTR where @joerogan can play doctor and give advice that will kill you without fear of condemnation."
Another user said, "Good luck man. Miss those cool guests you used to have before you went all in on the alt-right s**t."
But others were happy to see Rogan join GETTR.
"Thank you Joe, somebody needs to start the movement," one commenter said, while another noted, "Glad to see you over there!"
New social media site Gettr hacked hours after launch
More than half a million users registered for the new social media site Gettr after its launch on Sunday, though the website was briefly hacked, founder Jason Miller told Reuters.
Several high profile alumni of the Trump administration were targeted by the hacker, who appears to be a pro-Palestinian activist. Miller, a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, said the hacker was quickly detected and only managed to change the user names of several accounts.
"You know you're shaking things up when they come after you. The problem was detected and sealed in a matter of minutes, and all the intruder was able to accomplish was to change a few user names," Miller said in a statement to several media outlets. "The situation has been rectified and we've already had more than half a million users sign up for our exciting new platform!"
Zachary Petrizzo, a writer for Salon, posted several screenshots on Twitter showing how the accounts for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.), American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp, and Miller had their names changed by a hacker who identified himself by the Twitter handle "@JubaBaghdad."

According to Insider, the accounts for Steve Bannon, Harlan Hill, Sean Parnell, and Newsmax were also compromised Sunday morning.
These account's profiles were changed to read either "@JubaBaghdad was here :) ^^ free palestine ^^" or "@JubaBaghdad was here, follow me in twitter :)".
Insider contacted the Twitter account that claimed responsibility for the hack. @JubaBaghdad reportedly said he targeted the anti-cancel culture social media platform "just for fun" and that from a technical standpoint, it was "easy."
"They should not publish the website before making sure everything, or at least almost everything, is secure," the hacker told Insider.
Gettr, short for "Getting Together", is a Twitter-alternative social media website founded by former Trump campaign spokesmen Miller and Tim Murtaugh. The site was launched as a pro-free speech platform where users would not be de-platformed for sharing their political beliefs.
Like Twitter, users can micro-blog by sending messages that can contain up to 777 characters, as well as pictures or videos. The website was launched on July 4 to declare independence from "Big Tech social media oligarchs."
Trump has been absent from social media since he was permanently banned from Twitter and indefinitely suspended by Facebook and YouTube following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Though Gettr was founded by Trump campaign veterans and several high profile members of Trump world quickly joined, the former president is not involved and reportedly will not be joining the social network.
Former President Donald Trump’s blog page permanently shut down. Senior adviser says it’s a precursor to something bigger.
Former President Donald Trump's blog has been permanently shut down, according to reports — and those in his inner circle say that the move is a precursor to something even bigger than just a webpage.
Facebook and other social media networks banned the former president from their respective platforms following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, insisting that he was guilty of inciting the violence and spreading election disinformation.
At the time of the ban, the former president reached tens of millions of followers on Twitter, and millions on Facebook alone.
What are the details?
The former president's page on DonaldTrump.com — called "From the Desk of Donald Trump" — launched in May and was designed to communicate with his supporters.
The page now, however, permits users to only submit contact information for updates from Trump's communications team.
In a statement, Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Blaze Media, that the move was "just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on."
Miller confirmed to CNBC that the site would not be returning.
"Hoping to have more information on the broader efforts soon, but I do not have a precise awareness of timing," he added.
On Twitter, Amy Tarkanian, former Nevada GOP chair, tweeted about the news, writing, "Perhaps this is a precursor to him joining another social media platform?"
Miller responded, "Yes, actually it is. Stay tuned!"
Yes, actually, it is. Stay tuned! https://t.co/USKGvVXe2f

Ahead of the blog's May release, Miller tweeted, "President Trump's website is a great resource to find his latest statements and highlights from his first term in office, but this is not a new social media platform. We'll have additional information coming on that front in the very near future."
In May, the Wall Street Journal reported that the former president was in discussions with platforms such as CloutHub and FreeSpace to host a new social media-type platform for him and his followers.
