A half-cooked attempt to set up a conservative social network quickly collapsed into a heap of phony accounts, crude swearing, and pornographic GIFs. Ohio Republican Janet Porter pre-launched ReaganBook - "Facebook for Patriots" - in April, after employees from the more well-known social media site took part in a LGBT rights demonstration in San Francisco. After several left-leaning sites, including Raw Story , publicized the launch the fledgling social network , its several dozen presumably conservative users were quickly drowned out by a flood of phony accounts (Vladimir Putin, Sarah Palin, and Manuel Noriega) and less-obviously phony accounts. "I think they'd attract more people and less trolls if they didn't put that brand on it of Reagan - if they called it something else," conservative blogger Amy Jo Clark told The Daily Beast . Many users posted profane criticisms of former President Ronald Reagan, while others posted pornographic images and GIFs. The only discernibly sincere comments found on the site were the persistent complaints about slow load times and overall poor user experience. http://ift.tt/UNFJPf
