And, I mean, if you're going to worry about leap years, you should take into account the 100 year exception, except for the 400 year exception to that, surely. But to be fair, I'm too lazy to do it.

Not too worried about leap year calculations any more now that we survived the transition into this millennium.

Oh, I assumed that you wrote 1462 instead of 1460 because you added in the leap day but you were off by one.

Even if the trolls weren't revving their engines, my intuition says it won't last a year. These sorts of people inevitably turn on each other. Right now they may be united in their disagreement over the 2020 election and so forth. But later they'll start to disagree on other things. Since this all rests on a conspiracy-theory foundation, they'll start explaining their subsequent disagreements in terms of imaginary conspiracies. Even without real trolls, they'll start accusing each other of being trolls, shills, or infiltrators anyway.

Ok, thought the "TK" in your quote was a reference to the "Totenkopf", the 3rd SS Panzer Division of the Waffen SS, not to Tom Kratman.

I should have been less cryptic.....
Tom Kratman (Space Marine!) was particularly vocal on the Baen Bar after the Trumpist insurrection calling for a right-wing revolution, mass murder of "liberals" and race war. And he's dabbled in Nazi revisionism and SS apologism in the past.

Freedom of speech lives. Lindell has said users of his new social media platform will be allowed to criticize former President Donald Trump.

He also predicts 10 million people will sign up on the first day

Also, it launches on April 19th, not the 20th.

To avoid deplatforming efforts from app stores, the Frank social network is formatted as a web app and accessed by navigating to the site from a mobile browser. This means it doesn’t have to comply with Apple and Google store guidelines, but it also severely limits the app’s functionality. The Frank site gives detailed instructions for how users can set up the Frank web app as a direct icon link (similar to an installed app) on mobile devices under both Android and iOS.
Bwahahahaha!

Prediction: When it does crash, he will claim it was because of the tens of millions trying to sign on at the same time (even if it's really a few kids running scripts).

How do we bet that the new site was quickly put together and not particularily secure (nor free-speechy)?

I’m guessing it’s going to be 70% users just joining for the lulz
The rolls are going to be insanely bloated with socks (doubting they'll sacrifice the time for solid verification). Largest percentage ever?
So he'll hit a large membership early (not wildly large I'd think) but the board content is going to be sparser than they'd like for a while.. if it survives.
Guesses on how long before the real fun begins?
I have no idea as I've never watched such a launch before. But he's such a lightning rod, it should be... explosive.
