Content on Gettr is mostly right-wing. Journalists reported extreme content on the platform was prevalent, including racism, antisemitism, and terrorist propaganda. Politico observed the white supremacist Proud Boys organization was being promoted on the platform. Conservative users who have used Gettr include Sean Hannity, Kevin McCarthy, Mike Pompeo, Ben Carson, and Elise Stefanik.

Thats a 'pass' from me.

@gloschtla I made a bridge for gettr in #2505. Please test it and give feedback.
